@GavinNewsom
is the only Dem that seems to understand that democrats everywhere want their leaders to push back with a strong message and to stop letting the GOP control the narrative. Republicans are loud and it’s time for Democrats to get louder.
Together,

for taking the time to speak to the CA Latino Legislative Caucus today about your campaign and your vision for America. It’s my honor to support you to be the next President of this great country.

I’m excited for the opportunity to work with the County of Santa Cruz on this digital wallet pilot program. Big thank you to Supervisor
@zachfriend55
for his leadership and drive in making this happen and bringing equitable access to county services to residents.
Today is my last day as a member of the legislature. Representing the 57th district and serving as Majority Leader over the last 8yrs has been an honor of a lifetime. Thank you to my district for the opportunity and to my colleagues for the camaraderie. It’s been real.

Dear
@HowardSchultz
: You have the right to run for President just like any other billionaire. But you and your consultants should spare us the condescension. Democrats don't need to be saved. We are doing just fine. We crushed it in 2018 and we will win again in 2020.
After over a year of hard work and collaboration, today

looking at cryptocurrencies and how to regulate shouldn’t be interpreted as a negative. If anything, regulation brings legitimacy and broader adoption. More people participating is good. You can’t get there without a minimum level of consumer protection.
This is terrible. A major step backwards for humanity. The ocean & all of the life w/in it is a delicately balanced ecosystem that we continue to disrupt w/things like pollution, overfishing & whaling. To think we will be unaffected by this is incorrect.

Mike, this all feels very Hillary 2016 but in reverse. Lots of parallel’s. What’s happening on the ground is different than what people are seeing on here or TV.
In 2020 I made the difficult decision to leave the legislature early so I could be w/my family and watch my kids as they grew up. I was gone a lot. Many said I was leaving at my peak.
Fast forward a year and we all couldn’t be closer & I love every minute of it.

We just finished filing our taxes. Wow. Quite the difference from last year. We’re all paying more, corporations are paying far less and the deficit is skyrocketing. Glad I could help pay for the corporate tax cuts!

Some angry Lefty actor thinks California is the only place that has Summer. It’s hot everywhere—try Texas every summertime—but the rest of the country doesn’t have such a dysfunctional state govt that you can’t turn the lights on or run A/C. That’s a policy failure of the Dems.

I worry the press is falling into the same trap they did during the election. Reporting every ridiculous thing Trump says and does. Yes he’s the President, but they’re being used again. Free campaign advertising to his base. Extremely frustrating to watch.
I’d like to clarify that

(Straws Upon Request) is (a) NOT a ban; (b) should it become law, it will NOT make it a crime for servers to provide plastic straws. My intention is simply to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of plastic straws on our environment.

If republican voters in 2016 could look past a nominee that spoke like a 4th grader, democratic voters can & will look past an old guy who sometimes misspeaks.
At this same point in time in 2016, 538 had Hillary winning 72%-28%. The base is digging in. And the polls were wrong
Every critic who told you that the government was going to ban bitcoin and cryptocurrencies was wrong.
These technologies are imperative to innovation, job creation, and economic prosperity.
The White House is looking to embrace the industry, not outlaw it.
We’ve passed so many pro-voter laws here in CA there really is no excuse to not vote. Most recently we passed a law to require counties to pre-pay postage. No stamp? No problem! This was championed by my good friend and colleague

We have to continue to reduce our dependence on single use plastics. We don’t need them, we just have to have the courage to find an alternative and commit to a change.

This headline could be better and more accurate. It should read “Parts of the government are shutting down after Trump refuses to sign bipartisan senate bill wanting more money for his useless wall”.
#TrumpShutdown
Parts of the government are shutting down after Democrats refused to meet President Trump’s demands for $5 billion to start erecting a Mexican border wall.
I’m just disgusted by Trump and all those that stand by and do nothing while he causes lasting damage to this nation. History won’t just be unkind to him, but all those who enabled him. People need to show up and vote this November so we can put an end to this madness.
These four are my world. Today I feel so fortunate we can be with each other. Many families couldn’t be together this year and I know that’s hard. I’m thankful for everyone that made that sacrifice for the greater good. Merry Christmas.
I can’t imagine the terror families in Ukraine are experiencing right now. Countless lives will be changed by this forever. This shouldn’t be acceptable to any of us. 🇺🇦

Happy anniversary to my best friend. You’re an amazing wife, mother and human. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how lucky I am that I found you. I love you!
This is fantastic news! The change will eliminate the use of 1 billion plastic straws per year. This is going to make a huge difference. Let’s keep pushing!

Bill, we don’t know each other well but I’ve enjoyed the few times we’ve interacted. You should refrain from using these types of attacks against your colleagues.
I certainly understand disagreeing vehemently on policy positions, but this is a poor way to voice that frustration.
This is why Sacramento is broken and corrupt! I’m on the inside and can confirm. This “Republican” sounds and acts just like the Dems. Sacramento RINO

Also Republicans: Congratulations to all of our candidates that won their U.S. Senate and House races!

Every city in CA has been receiving MONTHY checks of SB1, gas tax, funds. Every city in the state received over 100% increase in infrastructure funds. Be sure to reach out to your city to get them to fill potholes and fix your roads bc the state is sending them money every month!
