I agree 1,000% with the action @governor.ca.gov Newsom has taken in response to the outrageous actions of Dr. Oz, who clearly seeks to disparage & stigmatize an entire community, the vast majority of whom are proud, law-abiding American citizens.
Oz should be ashamed, but sadly, he probably isn’t.

I am deeply honored to be endorsed by California’s U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and @adamschiff.com.
I look forward to working with our two senators to fight Trump’s dangerous policies and bring home federal funds for affordable housing, clean energy, and infrastructure projects here in California.

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday, the city’s police chief said. The shooting prompted clashes between law enforcement and protesters, as Minnesota officials renewed demands that the Trump administration end its immigration crackdown. trib.al/u8ESi4Q

Today marks one year since the devastating firestorms tore through SoCal.
We remember the lives lost, honor the communities forever changed, and stand with everyone rebuilding and healing. The Trump Administration needs to approve the federal disaster funding Californians need to fully recover.

The killing of an unarmed woman by ICE in Minneapolis is a horrific betrayal of American values.
The Trump administration has once again taken a life through unnecessary lethal force—and is already lying about what happened.
We need a full investigation. These attacks on our communities must stop.

President Trump is pursuing the discredited and rejected “might makes right” foreign policy approach of the 19th Century. This is taking our country and the values we have championed for over a century down a dark, disturbing and dangerous path.
Venezuela is ruled by an illegitimate regime, but the Administration has not made the case that an urgent threat to America’s national security existed to justify the use of U.S. military force.

History has shown us where gunboat diplomacy leads. Trump’s revival of this failed 19th-century approach to Latin America is destabilizing the region and putting Americans in harm’s way.
Breaking News: Venezuela has detained several Americans in the months since the Trump administration began a pressure campaign against the nation’s government.
Venezuela Detains Americans Amid Growing U.S. Pressure
