24 years ago, nearly 3,000 lives were claimed during the unconscionable attacks of 9/11.

California will forever hold the memory of those lost in our hearts, as well as the service members who dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms and way of life.

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk’s murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

This November, California has the power to defend democracy, uphold the rule of law, and stand for its people.

Donald Trump, and everything he stands for, will never have the Golden State.

Fire crews are stretched thin as a result of Trump’s illegal National Guard deployment. He’s pulled personnel from critical firefighting missions just to stage his political theater.

@calfire.bsky.social is stepping in to fill the gaps, but this is senseless and dangerous.

Cutting specialized suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth β€” during Pride Month, no less β€” is disgusting.

To our LGBTQ youth: California has your back. We’ll keep investing in resources to help you lead safe and healthy lives.

June 19, 1865 marked a turning point in American history and a hard truth that freedom in America has never arrived for everyone all at once.

This Juneteenth, let's honor that relentless spirit of liberation and the abolitionists who righteously fought to secure it.

Happy Birthday to the First Partner of California, the outstanding mother of our four incredible children, and the love of my life, @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social.

I hope your day is just as remarkable as the work that you’ve done for California’s women and kids.

This administration only cares about arresting as many people as possible β€” regardless of how it hurts families, the economy and entire communities.

Donald Trump, stop targeting the hardworking people who are the backbone of our economy.

This assertion that the Trump administration isn’t recklessly targeting undocumented immigrants with no criminal records is laughably inaccurate.

It’s completely disconnected from their own policies and the continuing militarized raids in Los Angeles and recent arrests in Ventura County.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are β€œsick of mind” and β€œhate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

'NO KINGS' PROTESTS: Protests in Lincoln and at least 11 other Nebraska cities were part of planned national protests against the Trump administration's immigration enforcement push, cuts to federal services and more.

Trump’s Fury at Harvard Gets More Derangedβ€”and Exposes a Big MAGA Scam Trump says he’s attacking foreign students because they’re taking places reserved for American kids. But the House GOP budget bill would hurt countless American students from the working class.

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college.

Those two things are connected. 1/

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
