By the time families get off years-long waiting lists for affordable child care, their children are often already in school.
Child care is an investment in our families and our economy. California can't afford to turn back the progress we've made—and as Governor I won't.

Why child care could be 'at a standstill' as California plans not to expand subsidized spaces

Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposed budget lacks funding for additional subsidized child-care slots, stalling progress on getting thousands of families access to affordable care.

Just days ago, federal agents raided the home of a @washingtonpost.com reporter.
Now, Donald Trump's administration ordered the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort.
Censoring the press is the first step towards controlling the people. We must defend our democracy.

Nursing is a calling, but it shouldn't be a sacrifice of one's own future.
To keep more nurses in this state, the solution is simple: Pay them what they deserve and protect the pensions that allow them to retire with dignity after a career of keeping us healthy.

Proud to stand with UNAC nurses on the picket line today.
Our nurses work long hours to save lives and keep patients healthy—they deserve a fair contract that reflects their work.

Honored to have the support of IBEW Local 441.
Electricians know our next Governor needs the energy and backbone to stand up for working families and fight for lower costs across California. Proud to have them join our growing coalition of labor and grassroots support.

When someone is dealing with a mental health crisis or substance abuse, they don’t need a weapon in their face. They need care.
In Congress, I fought to pass my Mental Health Justice Act. As Governor, I will keep prioritizing care & support—not jail time—for people who need it.

I had a blast at the CA Professional Scientists Town Hall. You all don’t just ask questions, you bring the data!
The relationship between the Governor and CAPS must be a partnership. When I have questions about the science of our water or our climate, I’m not calling a lobbyist—I’m calling you.

We want a global competitive edge. We want advanced tech talent. But we aren’t investing in the one thing that keeps that talent in the workforce: Child care.
Let’s invest in our future, not just talk about it.

It was great to meet with the voters of Folsom to talk about the future of our state. We aren’t just fighting back against what’s coming from DC—we are building a California where our best days are ahead of us.
Let’s take this energy and build it into a movement they can’t ignore.

Alex Pretti spent his days caring for veterans as a nurse. And he died trying to protect his neighbors.
Federal agents—funded by our tax dollars—murdered him.
Americans deserve accountability. Congress exists to put checks and balances on the president. It’s long past time to act like it.

California has a long, proud history of protecting its resources. But right now, the federal government is trying to handcuff our state agencies and strip away our ability to safeguard our own waters.

The math is staggering: $400M for a private jet from Qatar, $90.5M in settlements from tech and media companies, and over $800M in self-enrichment schemes.
That’s 16,822 times the median U.S. household income.

One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

Real toughness isn’t rhetoric; it’s refusing to back down when lobbyists and the billionaire class come knocking. I’ve seen @mikiesherrill.bsky.social’s tenacity in the House. She doesn’t back down from a bully, and she won’t back down for New Jersey. Congratulations, Madam Governor!

Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, his commitment to service, and his unrelenting fight for a more just nation.

Child care isn’t just an investment in our families, it’s an investment in our economy too.

Some districts spend more money checking if a child "deserves" a meal than they would just feeding every student.
Universal school meals are about more than compassion, they're about common-sense administration that saves taxpayers money.
