Proud to see that @california-hcd.bsky.social will receive necessary funding to create more affordable housing for Californians. Out of the 2,099 affordable homes created, 2,068 homes will be reserved for low- to extremely low-income residents like seniors, Veterans, large families and more.

Students and families should not live in fear while receiving an education, seeking medical care, or simply living their daily lives. California is making sure schools and hospitals remain what they should be: places of care, not chaos.

New studies from @uclalppi.bsky.social reveal stark inequities facing Latino workers, despite being the backbone of California’s powerhouse economy and nearly 40% of the state’s workforce.

A new San Francisco study shows Trump’s tariffs could cost Bay Area workers 18,000 jobs and slash incomes by $5,600 a year through 2045. For working families already stretched thin, that loss isn’t abstract. It’s necessities like rent, groceries, and childcare where every dollar matters.

Happy Latino & Hispanic Heritage Month, California! Today begins a month honoring the strength, resilience, & enduring contributions of Latino & Hispanic communities. With over 41% of Californians identifying as Latino, this rich heritage isn’t just part of our past. It’s also our present & future.

It’s been an honor working alongside Elaine Forbes. As Director of the Port of San Francisco, she led with vision and resilience—steering the Port through the challenges of the pandemic, strengthening our waterfront, and uplifting local communities.

Jennifer and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of California State Prison - Corcoran Correctional Officer Jonathan Townsend. In honor of Officer Townsend, flags at the State Capitol will continue to be flown at half-staff.

Today, we remember the tragic events & honor the nearly 3000 lives lost & the first responders who risked everything to save people & defend our democracy. We hold in our hearts the families forever changed by 9/11 & remember the preciousness of life & the enduring strength of the US. #PatriotDay

Glad to see #AB727 pass the #CALeg & sent to @governor.ca.gov! TY @asmmarkgonzalez.bsky.social & fellow co-sponsors @saclgbtcenter.bsky.social & @lalgbtcenter.bsky.social for making this bill possible. This critical measure supports our LGBTQ+ youth with necessary mental health resources.

#AB260 just passed the #CALeg & is headed to @governor.ca.gov! 
This bill is a major step forward in protecting access to medication abortion and ensuring reproductive healthcare remains a right—not a privilege—for all Californians. TY Asm. Aguiar-Curry for championing this critical legislation.

Devastated by yet another mass school shooting, this time at Evergreen High School in Colorado, where 4 students are critically wounded. America can’t afford empty words. We need real action & policy change to protect our kids, & all Americans, from gun violence. Thoughts & prayers are not enough.

California is picking up the slack AND the paycheck to help protect federal lands the Trump Administration has abandoned. Thank you to @calfire.bsky.social, California National Guard, and @caloes.bsky.social for stepping up to fill the gaps and protect our communities from devastating wildfires.

An incredible example of California and the @uofcalifornia.bsky.social working to prioritize the health of our frontline firefighters. This research will help firefighters across the country and comes at a time the Trump administration is actively cutting cancer research and harming Americans.

Even with the Trump Administration cutting green energy incentives, America is still breaking records. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. homes and businesses now run on renewable power. California is leading the way and setting new solar records this year by reaching a peak of 21,749 MW on July 30th.

Happy 175th Birthday, California! On September 9, 1850, we became the 31st state, skipping the usual territory stage & leaping into statehood. Fueled by the Gold Rush, California quickly became a land of opportunity & has been a state of big dreams. Here’s to 175 years of California dreaming!

Trump’s mass deportations are ripping more than 1.2 million workers out of our economy. The result? Worker shortages, industries in crisis, and higher costs for consumers. Let’s be clear: immigrants don’t weaken America — they build it. And California will always stand with them.

The Supreme Court just gave the Trump administration the green light to stop, question, and detain Angelenos speaking Spanish, having brown skin, working certain jobs, or simply being in the wrong place. This is not law and order. This is discrimination.

John Burton left a lasting mark on CA & beyond. He led with courage, was a relentless force for progress, & never shied away from a fight for the voiceless. His legacy will continue to live on through his advocacy for working people, children, foster children, & the most vulnerable communities.

California has officially joined the Northwest Wildland Fire Fighting Compact to share resources, tech, and expertise. While the Trump Administration retreats from firefighting, California is proud to join forces with our neighbors to protect our communities.

California: A Red Flag Warning is in effect! Stay alert and prepared. Find fire weather safety tips and resources here: 📌 ReadyForWildfire.org 📌 ListosCalifornia.org 📌 News.CalOES.ca.gov 📌 Ready.CA.gov For the latest wildfire updates statewide, visit fire.ca.gov!

It was an honor to visit California’s very own Yosemite National Park as part of a tour through the beautiful Sierra Nevada 🏔️🌲 We hiked up to Yosemite’s iconic Mist Trail & saw how our trails are maintained to be safe & accessible. Protecting California’s treasures is a responsibility we all share.

The numbers don’t lie. Donald Trump wasted nearly $120M of taxpayer dollars on an illegal military deployment to LA. That money should have gone to Social Security, affordable healthcare, & investments that actually keep communities safe. Instead, it was blown on political theater.

I was thrilled to join Gilead in the groundbreaking of their new Pharmaceutical Development & Manufacturing Technical Development Center in Foster City! California has always been where innovation meets impact.

Next step for California housing! #AB1154, which streamlines Junior ADU production to put more homes on the market, has passed the Senate and Assembly and is now headed to @governor.ca.gov’s desk.

Thanks to @governor.ca.gov’s expansion of the Film & Television Tax Credit Program, 22 TV series will receive $255.9M – which will to generate an estimated $1.1B for CA. The math is simple – more TV projects means more work opportunities for middle-class workers & small businesses across the state.

Today justice prevailed. A federal judge finally reaffirmed that Trump’s deployment of troops in LA, under the guise of law enforcement, is unconstitutional. The courts have spoken: no more militarizing our streets. We will continue defending democracy, civil rights & the basic rule of law.

This Labor Day, I’m proud to celebrate the Californians who keep our state thriving. From fair wages to new career opportunities, we’re building an economy that lifts up every worker in California.

Happy Labor Day, California! Today we honor the workers who built our state & strengthened our democracy. The fight for fair wages, safe conditions, & dignity on the job is far from over. When we stand together, we carry forward the promise of America that every worker has the chance to thrive.

August is #NationalBlackBusinessMonth, and I had such a great time visiting Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse in Downtown Sacramento, an iconic spot for BBQ, craft beers, and good vibes!

CA is facing a shortfall of 2.5M homes, with families struggling with soaring rents, living in overcrowded conditions, or being pushed into homelessness. That’s why I’m proud to support #AB920 to help streamline development & expand housing across CA. Glad to see it head to the Governor’s desk!

Another tragic mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school this morning, where two children were killed and many more injured. Their futures were stolen, and countless families will never be the same.

Grateful to be a part of the Assembly Select Committee on Asia/California Trade and Investment hearing led by Asm. Jessica Caloza. With 800+ miles of coastline along the Pacific Rim, California is deeply integrated into Asian markets. Last year alone, two-way trade totaled over $377B.

Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.

I had the pleasure of touring Calaveras Big Trees State Park as part of my visit to Calaveras County 🌲 It was inspiring to meet with State Park Leaders to see their work protecting CA’s giant sequoias, and advocating for over 1,000 mature trees against the threats of wildfires & climate change.

Today, California & Denmark signed a new partnership. Proud to join @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom, Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social & Ambassador Jesper Møller Sørensen as we deepen our transatlantic ties to build a safer, cleaner & more sustainable future.

America is seeing its first decline in immigrants in over 50 years, with 1.4 million people gone in just months under Trump. Immigrants drive $275 billion in economic output, contribute billions in tax revenue, and enrich our culture & communities. This isn’t just cruel, it’s reckless.

Republicans have been rigging the game for years, but California refuses to sit on the sidelines. These attacks on democracy demand unprecedented action and Californians at the ballot box.

Ahead of the elevated heat and fire weather that is starting today and lasting until Sunday, we urge Californians to stay prepared. For more tips on heat and fire weather preparedness: 📌 ReadyForWildfire.org 📌 ListosCalifornia.org 📌 CalHeatScore.CalEPA.ca.gov 📌 Ready.CA.gov

Heat 🌡️ and fire 🔥 weather are headed to LA County tomorrow. @governor.ca.gov & @caloes.bsky.social are pre-deploying firefighting resources to protect communities. Stay ready: check calheatscore.calepa.ca.gov for warnings & maps.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Andrew Meredith, former President of the State Building & Construction Trades Council of California. Andrew dedicated his life to protecting the rights, safety, and livelihoods of unionized construction workers, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives.

Schools are supposed to be safe zones, not hunting grounds. Yet ICE showed up near four LAUSD campuses on the first day of school. Parents and students deserve to feel safe and welcome, not targeted.

Had a great visit at the Sacramento SPCA to celebrate National Dog Month 🐾 & see the amazing work they do to care for animals in our community. From now through 8/30, adoption fees are waived for: 🐶 Dogs over 40 lbs 🐱 Cats over 7 months Let’s help these loving pets find their fur-ever homes! ❤️

Donald Trump doesn’t just break the rules - he acts like they don’t apply to him at all. California will not sit back while he tries to rig this election for his own gain. We will stand united against his authoritarian power grab and fight to protect our democracy.

The work to fight for scientific research funding is not over yet — Trump and the National Science Foundation have until August 19th to prove that they are complying. We are watching and we will hold them accountable.

Echoing what I told #ABC10 yesterday: “We are still in a position where we have the resources where we can continue to commit to environmental protections, but let's face it, we're in a real crisis right now. The values of the White House are not the same as the people of the country.”

Riley should still be here. 
Every LGBTQ+ student deserves to know they’re not alone and to have access to crisis support from someone who cares and understands them. That’s why I’m proud to co-sponsor #AB727, to ensure school IDs include LGBTQ+ crisis hotlines — a small change that can save lives.

The federal government’s decision to suspend $584 million in funding to UCLA is an attack on U.S. research, medical care, and innovation. This won’t just hurt Californians, it’s a direct attack on every American who depends on medical breakthroughs.

Using a moving truck as a Trojan horse to ambush day laborers isn’t law enforcement, it’s cruelty. By defying court orders against racial profiling & roving patrols, DHS & ICE are targeting immigrants without real probable cause. This isn’t justice, it’s a blatant abuse of federal power.

Even Hawkeye knows we need to keep our sights set on protecting Lake Tahoe! Great to be with Jeremy Renner at the 29th Tahoe Summit as we work to protect one of California’s iconic treasures. #TogetherForTahoe #LakeTahoe #TahoeSummit #TeamTahoe

From crystal-clear waters to towering pines, Lake Tahoe is a California treasure worth protecting 🌲🌊 Honored to celebrate our progress at the 29th Annual Tahoe Summit and carry forward Senator Dianne Feinstein’s legacy of conservation, resilience & access for all.
