Kudos to the Dublin City Council for unanimously approving a resolution last evening opposing any potential plans to turn the former federal women's prison in Dublin into a mass deportation center. www.ktvu.com/news/dublin-...

Good to see California Attorney General @robbonta.bsky.social and 16 other states are challenging Trump's unlawful decision to withhold $2.5 billion in federal funds for electric vehicle charging infrastructure nationwide.

Great to see my good friend Congressman John Garamendi and other members of Congress strongly opposing Trump's awful decision to pump more water out of the fragile Delta. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Although my office is not aware of any concrete proposals to convert the former federal prison in Dublin into a mass deportation center, I strongly oppose any such potential plans. As such, I support a city council resolution opposing any future plans for a deportation center in Dublin.

ICYMI: "Indiana Republicans withstood immense pressure from President Donald Trump, ignoring anonymous threats on their lives as they defeated his plan to redraw the state’s congressional map and dealt him one of his most significant political setbacks since his return to the White House."

"A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Wednesday to immediately end its current deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles, ruling that the federal government had illegally kept them in the city long after intense street protests had ended in the summer."

ICYMI: In a major victory for clean energy and wind power, a federal judge has ruled that Trump’s wind energy permit ban was “arbitrary and capricious,” and struck down the White House's executive order. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Glad to see CA Atty. Gen. @robbonta.bsky.social is considering challenging Trump's dangerous decision to pump more water from the fragile Delta. The White House water grab not only will damage the Delta but also could force the state to slash water deliveries to 27 million Californians.

Huge congrats to St. Mary's High School of Stockton for winning the Northern California Division 2-AA high school football title last night! St. Mary's will now play for the state Division 2-AA championship! Go Rams! www.recordnet.com/story/sports...

I strongly oppose the Trump Administration's bad decision to pump more water out of the fragile Delta. The White House water grab not only will harm the Delta but could force the state to slash water deliveries to millions of SoCal residents.

ICYMI: "California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a new online platform Wednesday for residents to report illegal actions by federal officers." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

"California’s economic outlook continues to be sluggish, as UCLA forecasters predicted Wednesday the state’s unemployment rate will keep climbing as Trump administration tariff and immigration policies continue to have an impact."

Great to see @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social Administration strongly opposing Trump's awful plan to pump more water out of the Delta. The White House water grab not only would decimate the Delta but would force the state to slash water deliveries to millions of SoCal residents.

Great news! The state of California is expediting two much-needed affordable housing projects on state-owned land in Stockton, totaling 240 affordable units. These are exactly the type of projects we need to help address our affordable housing shortage.

Great to join the Emergency Food Bank's Turkey Giveaway in Stockton today with Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom and Stockton Councilmembers Michael Blower and Michele Padilla, along with San Joaquin County Fairgrounds CEO Daniel Castillo, numerous community members, and members of Team McNerney.

Huge thanks to the Delta Protection Commission for voting to appeal the certification of the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project. The state's certification of the 45-mile-long water tunnel through the heart of the Delta is deeply flawed.

NEW: As co-chairs of the CA Legislative Delta Caucus, Asm. Lori D. Wilson and I today called on the Delta Protection Commission to file an official appeal of the certification of the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project.

The stubborn, decades-old myth that Republican policies are better for the U.S. economy than Democratic ones is finally shattering. It's about time. My take --> sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/shatter...

I want to express my deepest thanks to my friend and former longtime colleague Nancy Pelosi on her unparalleled career serving our country and congratulate her on her announced retirement. She is a true political icon and trailblazer.

Folks, thanks to a lawsuit filed by CA and 20-plus other states, the Trump admin will soon send out SNAP/CalFresh benefits for Nov. But because the Trump admin. initially (and unlawfully) refused to use emergency SNAP funds, CalFresh benefits will be delayed for 5.5 million hungry Californians.

Wonderful turnout this week for our open house and ribbon cutting at our new district offices in Stockton! Grateful to our community members, dignitaries, and neighbors who stopped by to celebrate. My door is always open to serve you! #SD5 Get in touch here: sd05.senate.ca.gov/contact

Great conversation - and great turnout - last evening in Dublin with Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan on the importance of ensuring that artificial intelligence systems are safe and beneficial and do not harm our kids or displace workers.

Yes!! @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social today signed my SB 31, which will help drought-proof CA by boosting the use of recycled water.

Great news! Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social today signed my SB 279, which will help farmers and winegrape growers by allowing them to compost large amounts of agricultural waste onsite rather than shipping it hundreds of miles away to a composting facility.

Excellent! Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social today signed my SB 543, which will streamline the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also known as backyard cottages or casitas. @cayimby.bsky.social

Honored to join with CA Treasurer @fionamacpa.bsky.social at her California Creates forum on Oct. 29 to talk about our SB 86, which will create more green energy manufacturing jobs in the state. ICYMI: Gov. Newsom recently signed SB 86 into law --> sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/newsom-...

Really good discussion and turnout on Friday evening at my San Joaquin County town hall on defeating the Delta Tunnel fast-tracking plan, working to make CA more affordable, creating more jobs as we transition to clean energy, and ensuring artificial intelligence is safe and beneficial.

Great to join with Congressman Josh Harder for a roundtable discussion in Manteca on veterans' issues. Also proud to support and help lead actions in the CA Legislature this year to strengthen veterans' benefits in the state.

Proud to stand with my friend & former colleague Congressman @ericswalwell.bsky.social & with Assemblymember @asmlizortega.bsky.social to speak out against the Trump shutdown of the federal government and the GOP's draconian cuts, which will kick millions of Californians off of health care coverage.

ICYMI: Filing tax returns is about to become easier in California, especially for taxpayers with small businesses, thanks to my SB 711, which Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed last evening.

Great news! Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social today signed my SB 86, which will extend a successful clean energy funding program that helps the state meet its climate goals and boosts CA’s green economy. Congrats and thanks to CA Treasurer @fionamacpa.bsky.social for sponsoring SB 86!

🎉It's Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Week!🎉 Did you know the Delta is a vital region that supplies water to millions, supports local agriculture, and is home to diverse plant and animal species? 🦆🌿🥤 Join in celebrating everything that makes the Delta unique. ✨

PSA: Folks, the link below provides more information about the bills I authored that are now on the governor's desk --> sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/sd-5-bi...

It has been an amazing leg session with SB 787! UAW members from the entire clean energy supply chain- from researchers to auto manufacturing workers- showed up to lay groundwork for a CA Just Transition. Now our diverse coalition asks @governor.ca.gov to sign SB 787! @uawregion6.bsky.social

A Productive Year! Nine of my bills were approved by the CA Legislature and are on the governor’s desk. Plus, the governor has already signed another one of my bills into law. On the governor’s desk: ✅SB 7, No Robo Bosses Act ✅SB 24, Protecting Ratepayers cont...

Excellent! The CA Legislature has given the greenlight to SB 237, groundbreaking legislation by Senator Tim Grayson and me that is designed to stabilize gasoline prices as the state transitions away from fossil fuels. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

Good news! The CA Legislature has approved my SB 787, which is designed to create more clean energy jobs in the state.

Boom! The CA Legislature just approved my SB 7, the “No Robo Bosses Act,” groundbreaking legislation that would require human oversight of artificial intelligence systems in the workplace to help prevent abuses. Senate vote was 28-9! sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

Excellent! The California Legislature has approved my SB 24, which is designed to protect ratepayers from skyrocketing bills by holding investor-owned utilities accountable for illegal activities. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

Good news! The California Legislature has approved my SB 711, which will make it easier for taxpayers to file their taxes. SB 711 will align numerous state tax requirements with federal requirements for the first time in a decade. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/ca-legi...

ICYMI: "A proposal to fast-track plans for a 45-mile water tunnel beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta died in the state Legislature." "Sen. Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) called it a 'major victory for California and the Delta.'"

Unprovoked violence is always deplorable. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. Political violence can only inflame hatred and further violence. I denounce those who encourage or participate in it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Excellent! The CA Legislature has unanimously approved my SB 454, which will address PFAS pollution in CA's water supply. SB 454 would establish the PFAS Mitigation Fund, which local agencies and cities could access to help pay for the cleanup of toxic PFAS in water.

Great news! Huge win for the Delta! The California Legislature has rejected the governor's plan to fast-track the costly and destructive Delta Tunnel Project. So it will not advance this year. sd05.senate.ca.gov/news/delta-c...

Great news! The California Legislature has unanimously approved my SB 279, which is designed to benefit farmers and winegrape growers by allowing them to compost large amounts of agricultural waste onsite.

Excellent! The CA Legislature has approved my SB 86, which would extend a successful clean energy funding program that helps the state meet its climate goals. The program provides tax incentives to CA manufacturers of green technologies and environmentally friendly projects.
