I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

The most critical thing I've learned in my 60 years and my six years as governor is that there's almost nothing more important than showing up. Like I told the graduates at Knox College, be generous with your time — showing up is a meaningful thing that only you can do.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

President Trump is simply unable to provide any stable rationale for his chaotic, illegal tariffs — and that's meant devastating impacts for countless California small businesses.

Trump wants us to lose faith in the justice system by undermining it with pardons, even while denying others due process. But wrong is still wrong, and we must continue to fight him.

The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were “ultra vires” and “contrary to law.” Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president.

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

In 2019, California's statewide battery capacity was 770 megawatts. Thanks to our efforts since taking office, our energy storage has surged to 15,700 MW — including 2,300 MW added since last September. That means a more clean, resilient energy grid to meet peak demand.

Texas businesses are resilient—but they shouldn’t have to survive Trump’s trade chaos. Tariffs = taxes, which means hiring is down, costs are rising, and families are paying the price. All while billionaires get more tax breaks.
