Wildfires are growing more intense as our climate gets hotter and drier. California must fight climate change head-on by accelerating our clean-energy future and investing in resilience before disaster strikes.
Wildfires aren’t necessarily happening more often, but they are becoming more intense.
A new international study shows that hotter, drier conditions are making it easier for fires to spread rapidly once they begin.

Wildfire safety is a shared mission—and it starts with community action and smart state policy. In Sacramento, I’ll fight to modernize the grid and to ensure firefighters have the resources they need.

Residential construction workers in LA earn a median wage of just $18/hour — and many lack health & safety protections.
That’s not right & it’s not sustainable.
I support the Construction Worker Minimum Wage because it’s good for workers, families & the future of LA.

Accountability is critical & I’m grateful to law enforcement for their tireless work investigating the #PalisadesFire & making this arrest. We must secure justice for families, small businesses & workers who lost everything AND take critical steps to ensure this devastation never happens again.

When our daughter was born, I had to sign a document saying I was giving up my baby girl so my wife Laura & I could re-adopt her back as her legal parents.

Disagreements should be settled with debate and democracy — not bullets. Today’s attack on Charlie Kirk is a tragic reminder of the work we must do to rid our society of political violence and gun violence.

Today’s #SCOTUS ruling is as outrageous as it is offensive — giving Trump’s ICE agents the green light to profile people for the color of their skin, the language they speak, or where they work. (1/2)

Devastated by this morning’s horrific explosion that killed at least 3 LA County Sheriffs at a training facility in East LA. While we’re still gathering information, I send my deepest condolences to the families of the sheriff deputies, the department, and to all those whose lives they’ve touched.

This is SO important for all communities in very high fire hazard severity zones to be aware of.
Thank you, @vcstar.bsky.social, for your help raising awareness regarding efforts underway that could drastically change the look of our neighborhoods.

Federal agents just forcibly removed U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from a public press conference hosted by Secretary Kristi Noem and detained him. No threats. No disruption. Just his presence and his voice.
This is not democracy. This is political suppression, plain and simple.

As we celebrated Pride in West Hollywood yesterday, a man violently attacked a group of Jews in Colorado peacefully calling for the release of the Israeli hostages — part of a terrifying surge of antisemitic hate and violence across our country.
Colorado suspect, now charged with federal hate crime, planned antisemitic attack for a year, FBI says | CNN
The suspect in Sunday’s attack in Colorado told investigators he “wanted to kill all Zionist people” and had planned the attack for a year, according to an affidavit.
