At the Rosenstein and Wray testimony today,
@tedlieu
had no time for nonsense, calling the probe into Hillary Clinton's emails 'stupid'. Love his clear detest of the ridiculous notion of a 'deep state' in the State Department and elsewhere.
In 2015, 7 million jobs required some level of coding skills โ jobs that pay $22,000 more than those not requiring coding. The demand for coding skills is only increasing. We have to reform our education curriculum now to align with the skills needed for the jobs of the future.
Trump just apologized to Brett
#Kavanaugh
"on behalf of the entire country" for how he and his family were treated during the confirmation hearings.
This is DISGRACEFUL.
A judge has restored
@Acosta
press credentials!
A win for the America we all know and love, the one we're all trying desperately to protect. Freedom of the press is essential and it's scary to see attempts to erode that in any way.
Trump just repeatedly called the majority of America's news outlets 'fake news' in front of members of the military while claiming he wouldn't do so. All while giving a speech on a defense bill named after Sen. McCain who Trump had said was not a war hero b/c he was captured. Wow
Senator John McCain has passed away. The world has lost a hero and advocate for all. A patriot that embodied the very definition of honor. John McCain's legacy will continue to inspire Americans for generations to come.
Attorney General Sessions putting on quite a show in hearing. Now he does recall he was told about Russia contacts, just didnโt remember until it was repeatedly brought up. Wow. Thanks
@RepSwalwell
for putting the pressure on Sessions.
Cohen just told Republicans that he did the same thing they are doing now....protecting Trump.
โI did that and lost it allโ
Cohen then said heโs โthe picture perfect of what not to doโ
This is a warning from someone with immense regret.

More fear-mongering from Trump. Now it seems he is trying to hold the economy hostage. All this from a man claiming to be innocent.

No matter where you stand on this issue, everyone can agree that using excessive force on unarmed families is never okay. The migrants are people too and we must handle the situation in a humane way.
Trump is by far the worst negotiator in the history of time. He was willing to trade the whole of the nation to China to get a 'win' on North Korea and now he pulls the plug on the summit? I think 'art of the deal' was more on the finger-painting level.
Thank you
@CoryBooker
for clearing up the misleading statements and attempts to twist facts by Trump's Republican Party.
#ChristineBlaseyFord
asked for a FBI investigation that could result in prison if her story is found untrue. That's a major point that can't be overlooked.
Why is it faster for us to ban abortions than assault rifles? If you are worried about saving the lives of American children, you are looking in the wrong place.
I am beyond impressed that California was able to get this passed. Starting July 1, buyers will need to show an ID and background check to purchase ammo. This isn't the end of the gun control battle, but it's absolutely a great step.
We just experienced the 3rd largest drop in the Dow in history. Those claiming Trump is good for the economy may want to table that sentiment.
The work President Obama did to stabilize and grow the economy is eroded by needless trade wars.
Another large utility, XCEL in Colorado, retires remaining coal plants and moves to renewables citing lower costs.
Why is everyone moving to renewables except for the president of the United States?
Oh come on, Trump. A disgrace? California embodies the heart of America in so many ways. We are a global leader in technology. We feed the US. We bring in 15% of US GDP. We push for change, even when it's hard. Take your criticism elsewhere.
If a minimum-wage worker needs 2.5 jobs to live in a 1 bedroom place, how can they possibly support a family? Or pay for higher education? This is exactly why we need to distribute wealth with better tax plans and better minimum wage.
This is honestly a disgrace. These celebrities made a complete joke of our "fair" admissions process, and they are given a 2-week sentence? When drug offenders are given YEARS? You must be kidding.
Trump is threatening to pull all ICE agents from California. What will we do when an aggressive police force no longer bullies businesses and splits up families for the terrible crime of wanting a better life? California will be fine, Donald.
Outside of everyone that heard the Access Hollywood tape, or saw Trump mock a reporter over his disability, or remembers when he called Mexican immigrants rapists....
Who would have ever thought Trump might be recorded using the N-word??
Terrible news today in Florida. 17 people have lost their lives in yet another mass school shooting. My thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy but my thoughts are not enough, no one's are. We have to do more, this can't keep happening.
Really can't think of a better way to celebrate the 4th than flaunting the money we spend on military instead of affordable health care or education! Love it.
It was bad when the Trump administration was clearly ok lying to the American people. It is a whole other level of bad to see the extent
#SarahHuckabeeSanders
is willing to go to cover her lies โ using this doctored video is depraved.
Great news that Trump is moving to ban bump stocks but if it feels a bit late its because that was the action the nation called for after the last mass shooting just last October. Four months ago.
Spot on!
#ChristineBlaseyFord

We could use a little good news! A school in RI was planning to serve students cold sandwiches until they paid their debt. Then Chobani stepped in to pay all $77k so kids could eat healthy again. Love to see companies making positive use of their profit.
So Congress can subpoena Trump's tax records....
What made Russia want this guy elected so bad in this first place?
I think answers are coming soon.

California's decision to offer unemployment benefits to federal workers is an incredible and tangible step toward reducing the tragic effects that this shutdown has had on our workers. I hope that other states follow.
John Boehner who not too long ago said he was โunalterably opposedโ to marijuana has had his view altered and is now joining a marijuana cultivation and dispensary firm.
Why does it seem everything is wrong to the GOP until it pays?
California is now the world's fifth largest economy! That's higher than the U.K. and France.
And we got here while leading the nation in environmental protections and without turning our backs on immigrants or weakening our social safety net.
Things are out of hand in America when extremist are peddling false pictures of not only young students, but also survivors of a recent school shooting. Of course
@Emma4Change
did not rip up the constitution in the picture making rounds now.
I cannot believe that Japan has chosen to begin whale hunting again. These precious animals deserve the best, and we cannot allow them to be driven toward extinction once again. I hope that our administration does not condone this.
I have to agree with Trump that the

Congrats to a real leader, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed!

After a massive online petition circulated last week, Trader Joes has committed to cutting 1 million pounds of plastic waste in 2019. I absolutely love seeing companies really listen to their customers.
I agree with
@SpeakerPelosi
that another four years of Trump would cause 'irreparable harm' to the nation. I also agree with
@JoeBiden
that he is the best choice to beat Trump. Dems just have to win next year.
Trump's approval rating is dropping again, down another 8 points. Crazy, who would have thought turning his back on our allies and most Americans would hurt Trump's approval? He may want to reconsider shooting that person on 5th Ave...
Coal plants account for 40% of Germany's electricity. In the US, coal plants supply less than 30% of all electricity. If they are willing to make such a bold move, shouldn't we be willing as well?
Climate change should not be a political issue. It is not up for debate. It is a moral issue that determines the fate of the upcoming generations.
It's time for our country to come together and take action to turn the tides on such a pressing problem.
Trump's recent Tweets and actions regarding the Florida election shows just how little respect he has for our democracy. By the way, this would mean Trump is willing to invalidate many votes from members of the armed services.
"More than two years into the Trump presidency, California has embraced its role as chief antagonist." I love it. CA has filed 24 lawsuits against the Trump administration for harming the environment. We have won 15 so far! Keep going California.

This is what happens when blockheaded decisions like moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. We caused this turmoil in an area known for unrest and for what?
Prince Harry and Megan Merkel are the sort of royalty that will actually use their position to help the disadvantaged in selfless. But I would consider it a charity to the world if Ivanka and Jared would leave the White House.
Our doctors are right, gun violence is a public health crisis. Guns kill more Americans than AIDS and illegal drug overdoses combined. We have rules regulating medicine, tobacco, alcohol, and more. Why is it so hard to pass common sense gun control?
Companies are showing they are not just going after the NRA's money but the entire 'gun culture' it perpetuates.
@bumble
just announced it will no longer allow pictures featuring guns on the dating site. Momentum is picking up and we may see real change.

How bad is our 'plastic problem? A whale in Thailand died after swallowing 17 pounds of plastic and this is not a rare occurrence. More and more we see birds, fish, and other wildlife consuming plastic which is now entering our food.

This is what great leadership looks like. By not naming the terrorist, they are dismantling any platform or message he was trying to convey. Removing the platform sets such a powerful culture throughout the country. A lot to learn from this government's immediate response!
California could soon require all retail electricity to be generated from solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources by 2045.
The fight against climate change is one we can win....if we just try.
As much as I love seeing this Blue Wave sweep the nation, I have to say one thing: This election is not about Blue Waves or messages to Trump or any other hype.
People vote to make their lives better. Until Democrats and the GOP get that, both parties will feel out of touch.
Just saw Black Panther at a packed house in San Diego. Amazing movie. Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyongโo, Forest Whitaker and Danai Gurira as "The General" is my favorite.
Good to see a movie with an inspiring message & good to see Oakland play a role in it too
Independents are now the second-largest voting bloc in California, surpassing Republican registrants. We have a great chance to flip a lot of congressional seats and send a message to Trump. It all comes down to turnout!
Trump wants to sue California over its clean air rules and now Trump is attempting to sue so that it's easier to sell off public land. I think he is going to realize that a fight with California is not one he will win.
Trump announcing US position to view Jerusalem as Israeli capital, alludes to past presidents โnot having courageโ to do same. He is unraveling any progress made over decades and blocking any hope for peace.
Whatever you thought of Michelle Wolf's
