I just signed an executive order to support faster, cheaper, and easier public transit across California. I'm directing state agencies to prioritize key local transit projects by enforcing clear deadlines, modernizing arrival data and payments, and expanding employee benefits.

My Latest White House Report: “Trump Plays Hard Ball” He Plans To Refuse To Sign Any Legislation Until “The Save America Act” Is Passed- Instead He’s Sabotaging His Own GOP Majority www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jptor...

Found the vandals.

Breaking News: Officials knew the $16.4 million Reflecting Pool renovation was peeling and turning green earlier than they acknowledged.

"To be attracted by power, by grandeur, and by appearances it tragically human. It is a great temptation that tries to insinuate itself everywhere." #PopeFrancis

The top 1% owns as much wealth as the entire middle class. That's not the America we're supposed to be. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just those already at the top.

A NC sheriff has been accused of referring to Latinos as "taco-eaters" while instructing his deputies to racially profile them. He has won reelection over, and over, and over, and over again. But will 2026 be it? His county is growing and becoming more competitive, & he has a real challenger:

Apparently, the White House just spent $14 million on a no-bid contract to Make America Green Again.

California stands with the men and women of Edwards Air Force Base, the United States Air Force, and all those affected by this devastating accident. In honor of the fallen eight brave Americans, flags at the State Capitol and Capitol Annex Swing Space will be flown at half-staff.

"Silence is not neutral. Silence is apathy. It is indifference. It affirms. It empowers. It excuses. Silence speaks volumes. Silence can be a virtue. It can also be a vice. And in the face of injustice, silence is sinful." #BrotherPatrick #MomentForTruth assisiproject.com/resources

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

From @theathletic.com: "What could have been the best night in a New York Knicks fan’s life instead felt like a massive middle finger," our columnist writes. "James Dolan saw this night, this big New York moment, and strangled the fun out of it." nyti.ms/4dZMGbl

Ayanna Pressley on ICE prisons: "4,000 children under the age of 18, 20 infants - forced behind the wall by this cruel administration. The lawful maximum time is 20 days. We have 9 year olds having to advocate for themselves. If you're not working to close Dilley, you are complicit in child abuse."

So we are now at the: 'throw off all pretence of democracy and do whatever it takes to maintain power'stage of fascism. The people of the USA are going to have to fight like Hungary to overcome this.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has proposed a special fund for officers injured and traumatized on January 6. More than 150 officers were wounded defending the Capitol. Democrats say if taxpayer money can go to January 6 settlements, it should also support the officers who protected democracy.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.
