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.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Cutting specialized suicide prevention services for LGBTQ youth — during Pride Month, no less — is disgusting. To our LGBTQ youth: California has your back. We’ll keep investing in resources to help you lead safe and healthy lives.

Gutting California’s national parks — places like Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and the Redwoods all at risk. That’s what Trump’s doing by pulling federal funding. He's putting our national parks on the chopping block. www.npr.org/2025/06/10/n...

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.

Farmworkers are hiding because Trump made them targets. Without farmworkers, the crops that feed our nation rot and our tables go empty. This isn’t strong immigration policy — it’s economic sabotage fueled by hate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation. We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation. Not despite our immigrant population –– but because of it.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

NEW: Trump's federalization of the California National Guard without Gov. Newsom's approval asserts broad powers that could apply to any state. Experts warn that deploying the military in Los Angeles undermines federal law and risks federal overreach. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social‬

California’s farmworkers are the backbone of our economy. They work through grueling conditions – rain and shine, heat and cold, even a pandemic – to feed the nation. Targeting these workers is just wrong. And meant to stoke fear, not improve public safety.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Invoking violence only gives Donald Trump the reaction he’s looking for. Attacking law enforcement officers just doing their job is unacceptable — period, full stop. Protestors who participate in violence or vandalism must be held accountable.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

When you are elected president, you are supposed to be president of the whole country. And protect the whole country, from natural disasters and more. No state should be denied critical funding simply because of how they voted.

Last year, we reduced homelessness among young Californians transitioning out of foster care and probation systems — and we're going to keep driving that progress forward. That's why we're providing additional grants to 52 counties to keep supporting these vital services.
