You don’t have to live in California to have a stake in its leadership. A GOP Gov would be disastrous for the rest of us, and if R’s take the top 2 spots in the Primary, that will guarantee a GOP win. Want to help? Follow and boost @xavierbecerra.bsky.social to ensure we have a Dem in the General.
Trump’s war on Iran is driving up costs here at home, with Californians paying the price at the pump. We need steady, responsible leadership, not governance by tweet.

Trump swore an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he's used the presidency to enrich himself by at least $4 billion and counting.
Last night, he stood in front of the country and said we can't afford Medicaid.
This is the same man who turned the Oval into a personal profit center.

Representative @fernandez.house.gov is right. The majority of Americans don’t own a passport, and many don't have the money to spare to get one to vote.

The SAVE Act is patriarchy in policy form.
It targets women who changed their names, then dares them to produce perfectly matching passports and birth certificates or lose their vote.
Screw that.
Call your senators. Tell them to vote no on any version. #SaveActTaxesVoting

ICE agents stopping people for speaking Spanish.
Families told to carry papers.
Judges begging ICE to follow basic law.
That’s not “border security.”
That’s authoritarian creep.
If the system runs on racial profiling, the system has to go.
Abolish ICE.
