NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

California is a global climate powerhouse.

At #COP30 today, I met with leaders from around the world to double down on our work to confront the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, and help protect Californians from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.

Governor-Elect Spanberger's daughter crying because she is so proud of her mother, and her sister holding her hand to comfort her, shows that Abigail Spanberger is not just a great politician, but also a wonderful mother.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I don't live in Illinois, but I've been following Kat for a while. Watching the way she has stood up for people's rights and used her campaign to help her community, it seems like she's exactly the kind of person that should be in congress.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

I believe John Bolton's lawyer more than I do Donald Trump's prosecutors. Mostly though, I believe that Bolton is the victim of vindictive prosecution and political targeting. And that should be the end of the analysis.

Gov. Pritzker: "Democrats should just...follow the law. That means if someone broke the law — whether you're an ICE agent, or a CBP agent, or Stephen Miller — if you broke the law, you should be held accountable."
