Congratulations to Senator Monique Limón, sworn in today as the 50th President pro Tempore of the California State Senate. Senator Limón is the first Latina, first mother to hold this leadership role. Proud to work with such a trailblazer to move CA forward! #CALeg @casendems.bsky.social

Congrats to @ccswg.bsky.social on a great convening for its 60th anniversary. A pleasure to speak on the Women’s Economic Security panel for the #HospitalityTrainingAcademy & its workforce training programs that offer transformational career pathways for women & low-income communities. #WomenLead

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

❤️💜💛💚🧡🌈

Shame on you, and lose my number. The well has officially dried up.

Hello? We just had a Democratic blowout a nanosecond ago with a clear message! We cannot surrender to false promises that leave Americans behind, made my people who possess no accountability & live in a lawless neverland. Thank you to all but 8 caving Democratic Senators for voting NO!

I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis. And make health insurance affordable. The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too. I'm voting no.

Hold the damn line, Democrats.

I will certainly miss WTF and your voice @marcmaron.bsky.social - thank you for so many years of insightful interviews, filled with heart and intellectual curiosity! 💙

On this completely vile, evil chat - “Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders.”

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California. California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

BREAKING: CNN, Fox News, NBC, ABC, and CBS have issued a rare joint statement rejecting the Pentagon’s new press restrictions, calling them “without precedent” and warning they “threaten core journalistic protections” while vowing to continue independent coverage of the U.S. military.

Heartbreaking. May her memory be a blessing. 💔

BREAKING: For her work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Hi Donald!

As I was saying…

Jimmy Kimmel Is Back: ABC Returning Late-Night Show On Tuesday. deadline.com/2025/09/jimm...

NEW: Senate Dems ask FCC chairman to turn over any communications w/ ABC re: Jimmy Kimmel “..unacceptable for the FCC Chairman to threaten a media organization because he does not like the content of its programming—it violates the 1st Amendment that you claim to champion”

A leader of the Federal Communications Commission is blasting Disney’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in the face of “government pressure” that she says violates the First Amendment and endangers free speech. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I stand with @jimmykimmel.com and the 200+ union workers impacted by this act of corporate capitulation and censorship. Bad on you ABC/Disney.

Labor statements on ABC’s capitulation to the land of Gilead in pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live -

I woke up this morning at 5:30, no alarm or provocation. Some sense memories are hard wired & we're powerfully connected. I met the first 9/11 moment of silence at 8:46 ET in sync with New York. Moving today in tribute to the almost 3,000 souls taken 24 years ago in NYC, Pennsylvania & Virginia...

My heart is with the people of Denver, impacted by yet another tragic act of gun violence.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

Always great spending time democracy-building, organizing for #YesonProp50 & celebrating summer with some of my favorite Dem leaders & activists - w/ West LA Democratic Club & DPSFV! #Prop50 @benallenca.bsky.social @asmtinamckinnor.bsky.social @asmrickzbur.bsky.social @analisaswan.bsky.social

Great supporting the annual 'Stand Up for Our Rights" fundraiser hosted by the Los Angeles Guild for Reproductive Health, benefitting @wrrapreprojustice.bsky.social, @uclarepropolicy.bsky.social, @brigidalliance.bsky.social, @powertodecide.bsky.social & @pposbc.bsky.social Los Angeles. Onward!

Begone, before someone drops a house on you, too!

These kids were literally praying, 1st week of school. They were in a church.They should be learning with their friends, playing on the playground, able to go to school or church in peace without fear or risk of violence & their parents should have the same assurance. -Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...

It was a pleasure welcoming @friedman.house.gov to the Hospitality Training Academy Kitchen & introducing her to our inspiring Prep Cook English Language Learner (ELL) students from Cuba, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru & Spain & Line Cook Apprentices, who shared life-changing journeys & great food! 🧑‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳

We can win back control of Congress and stop Republicans from rubberstamping Trump’s extreme authoritarian agenda. It requires winning elections in 2025 and 2026 and laying the groundwork for winning in 2028. Today, we’re announcing six key endorsements that are essential Democratic wins.

Just led @padilla.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and 12 additional members of the California delegation demanding answers from DHS about the massive federal immigration presence during Governor Newsom’s public event on redistricting.

@governor.ca.gov has signed the bills and proclamation declaring the November 4th special election - now it's official! GAME ON!

We are doing it. LET'S GO, CALIFORNIA!!! www.latimes.com/california/s...

Today we are sending our “Big Beautiful Maps” to the voters of California who deserve the opportunity to fight back against Trump’s efforts to gerrymander Texas and steal the next election.

Make no mistake, what we’re doing in CA is still very different than what Texas is doing. CA will comply by the Voting Rights Act, Texas will take ready gerrymandered districts and make them worse by cutting out districts that give underrepresented communities a voice. #ElectionRiggingResponseAct
