I’m proud to help lead our new Technology Innovation Council and chair the working group on Child Online Safety and Countering Image-Based Abuse with partners at CDT and the State Board of Education.

The news of violence today comes on the heels of the horrific attack at Brown University, a college campus where young people should have the sanctuary to learn. Watching violence ravage our students, our families, and our faith communities again and again leaves me, and so many, feeling helpless.

Gavin and I are heartbroken by the horrific attack on Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah in Australia. Lives were taken from people gathered in joy and faith, including a child, a rabbi, parents, and neighbors.

During an evening celebration, Jewish families in Australia were horrifically gunned down in a vile act of terror. California’s heart is with Australia as we stand with the Jewish community worldwide against a rising tide of antisemitic violence and hate. Antisemitism has no place in our world.

It’s absolutely reckless to block states from setting AI safeguards and pretend like families won’t pay the price. California will keep putting kids first and innovating responsibly. thehill.com/policy/techn...

Deeply moved by the resilient spirit of Los Angeles, from Altadena to the Palisades, as families who lost everything keep pushing forward. Grateful to Foothill Catalog and Habitat for Humanity for helping survivors rebuild. So much more to do, and we won't stop until the job is done.

In moments of disaster, responding to constituents with compassion, resolve, and unity of purpose is our responsibility and duty. It transcends party lines.

Happy Holidays, California! 🎄 Big thank you to Rebecca and Jude for lighting up the State Capitol on our 94th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Wishing all Californians a bright and cheerful holiday season.

Only Trump would think his birthday outranks MLK Day and Juneteenth on a list meant to help families access national parks. California’s focus has always been widening access so people can enjoy the outdoors regardless of income or zip code.

California launches mental health challenge to support boys & young men! 🧠🎬 In partnership with Youth Creating Change, CA is supporting a media challenge for youth ages 12-25 to encourage young people to ask for help & support their peers, as part of the Directing Change Film Contest.

We continue to stand up for our service programs and the communities they strengthen. 💪🏽🏘️ This morning, Chief Service Officer Josh Fryday and the @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov visited Reading Partners SF to reaffirm CA’s commitment to service. 👉🏽 Join us at CAServiceCorps.com @americorps.bsky.social

Today’s Gender Equity Summit left me energized and hopeful! We took an honest look at the digital world shaping our kids’ futures. I’m grateful for the leaders, thinkers, and lawmakers who showed up ready to rethink who builds our online spaces and how we keep our people safe.

On Veterans Day, we honor and thank those who’ve served and the families who’ve carried that service beside them, including my own. I’m proud of how California continues to strengthen care and expand opportunity for those who’ve given so much to our country.

Este Día de los Veteranos, agradecemos a nuestros héroes militares por proteger con valentía nuestras libertades y los valores de nuestro país. California está comprometida a apoyar a los casi 1.5 millones de veteranos que llaman al Estado Dorado su hogar.

It’s a joy to celebrate the reopening of Will Rogers State Historic Park! This place means so much to my family and the Pacific Palisades community that poured its heart into bringing it back to life. After so much loss, this space once again belongs to everyone who loves California’s outdoors!

Millions will now pay the price. People’s lives, their health, and their hunger are worth fighting for.

We have learned so much from you, Madam Speaker.   For more than four decades, you have led with grace and conviction, mobilizing quickly and effectively to support our communities and speak up against injustice, all while illustrating that women truly deserve a seat at every table.

I guess we’ll never know 🥳 #PROP50

California, we did it! We stood up for what’s right and for one another. This win belongs to every Californian who believed in our democracy and helped protect it.

What happened here in California tonight is a victory for the people of this country. Donald Trump’s attempts to rig the midterm elections are backfiring. His attempts to silence you are backfiring. His entire presidency is backfiring.

If your power depends on breaking the rules, you were never strong to begin with. Our kids deserve better. They deserve honesty, decency, and care for others, not the example we see from our nation’s leader.

I'm deeply proud of the California National Guard and @calvolunteers.bsky.social for helping expand food bank operations statewide. They’re on the frontlines getting food to Californians left waiting as the Trump administration’s shutdown turns its back on families in need.

With the federal shutdown putting millions at risk of losing access to CalFresh, CA is stepping up to protect families from hunger. 🥫 GO-Serve Director Josh Fryday shares how the CA National Guard & CA Service Corps are supporting food banks statewide. 💪🏽🌟 @governor.ca.gov

California is investing over $140M in more than 100 Planned Parenthood centers to ensure patients and families continue receiving essential care. We won’t turn away from our communities, even as the Trump Administration defunds the very clinics providing life-saving services.

California is fighting back against the GOP’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood health clinics by providing $140M+ to life-saving centers. I refuse to let Donald Trump & right-wing extremists in Congress destroy Californians’ reproductive freedoms & health care access.

“I’m very worried about 5 million people in a matter of days losing losing their SNAP benefits and entering in a grocery store with Donald Trump's tariffs and inflation.” — @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom

The Trump administration’s shutdown has turned its back on working people, cutting off food aid for families already doing everything they can to get by. That’s why we’re deploying the California National Guard to help distribute food and investing $80M to keep food banks stocked.

California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown. We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.

Local officials don’t want the National Guard in San Francisco, no matter what power trip Donald Trump is on. Deploying troops into our cities without cause or consent turns public spaces meant for community into zones of fear, and that has no place in a free country.

Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue. We don’t bow to kings. We defend the Constitution.

Donald Trump's government shutdown is devastating working people, small business owners, and families. To help impacted federal workers, we're making it easier to report the information required to receive unemployment benefits payments.

Trump’s priorities: Bulldozing the White House ✅ Reopening the government ❌

In California, we didn’t wait for the pharmaceutical companies. We chose to become the first and only state to contract our own supply of insulin so that beginning January 1, insulin will be available for $11 a pen.   This is the California that invests in affordable healthcare for families.

Since my first executive order in 2019, lowering prescription and health care costs has been a priority. With CalRx® insulin at $11/pen starting Jan. 1st, we're closer to affordable care for all. You shouldn't have to choose between medications and putting food on the table.

Everything we do begins with our children — their safety, their health, and their well-being. California has always led in innovation, but true leadership also means setting limits when it matters most.

It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and we’re grateful to the first peoples of this land, the storytellers and caretakers whose wisdom guides us and deepens our respect for our planet. California is home to more Native nations than any other state, and our spirit is stronger for it!

Donald Trump is a wartime president. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Latinos. War on California. War on institutions. War on history.

Children deserve to feel safe at home & in school. This new bill I signed: ➡️ Bars childcare facilities & state preschools from collecting immigration info ➡️ Protects parents’ legal rights & kids’ security if separated ➡️ Ensures schools have safety plans in times of crisis

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women. Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

These bills are shaped by the voices and experiences of mothers, daughters, workers, and caregivers who keep our communities strong — often without recognition. I’m proud to live in a state that knows its strength comes from how deeply we care for the women who care for us.

Oh what a year it’s been, but I’m just so grateful I get to celebrate another year of you. I love you, G! Happy happy birthday to my concert partner, my person, and my family for life.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… and a good excuse to remind you that these books are still being banned across the country. Censorship, especially when it seeks to erase truths and stories that matter, is a threat to our democracy and our humanity.

Prince and Athena Riley have been serving amazing dishes at LA's JOYCE Soul & Sea since opening in 2023. With this new legislation, small businesses like theirs can now more easily run outdoor dining and use qualified professionals to self-certify plans for building changes.

California is seeing significant increases in proficient or advanced grade-level student knowledge and skills in English language arts, mathematics, and science. This is our state's investments at work and making real progress.

While Trump and the WWE cofounder seek to demolish the U.S. Department of Education, California is generating K-12 test scores that get better and better. With universal meals, added literacy resources, and more, we're helping students thrive in and out of the classroom.

Today marks another first for California! With AB 1264, the first law of its kind in the nation, we’re banning ultra-processed foods and drinks in our schools. We refuse to settle for less than what our children deserve.

Trump is dangling federal dollars to make universities gut their values and surrender academic freedom. It’s a despicable bargain that corrodes everything higher education stands for. California refuses to bend the knee.

Thinking of everyone observing Yom Kippur today. Wishing you strength in your fast and space for mindfulness and renewal. G’mar chatima tova.
