Californians: If you’re protesting today, protect one another and hold the line for peace.

There’s no place for violence in our democracy.

If you see agitators, alert law enforcement and look out for your fellow citizens. Stay safe. Stay peaceful.

The targeted shootings that took the lives of Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband and left Sen. John Hoffman and his wife wounded are devastating. My heart is with their families and loved ones. 1/2

As a California lawmaker, I’m heartbroken and horrified by the assassination of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a targeted, politically motivated attack. I pray for the recovery of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also shot in a separate incident.

I stand with the @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social in condemning political violence and encouraging Californians to continue raising our voices peacefully.

Joint statement from Assembly @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social and @asmrepublicans.bsky.social Leader James Gallagher:

My statement in response to LA protests and Trump's threats:

“Assembly Democrats have delivered a better version of Assembly Bill 379 that accomplishes four major changes to our existing criminal laws.”

This fight is far from over, but we’re one step closer to protecting our community’s health and safety.

Thank you to CalEPA and DTSC for stepping in and taking urgent action to hold the landfill accountable.

As a former journalist and editor for two decades, lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Journalism and vice president of the Sacramento Press Club, I want to share a few observations 🧵

“These bills will reduce bureaucracy and red tape. They will lead to fewer construction delays and cost overruns,” @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social said. “They are a first step in putting California back on a path to build more housing and do so quickly.”

I was proud to stand in solidarity with my colleagues today who remain committed to addressing the state's housing crisis. No matter where you live in CA, these laws we voted yes on today make it easier to build faster, and construct more housing – because we must make housing more affordable!

My Speaker @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social puts it well: "There are more kids with measles in Texas than transgender Athletes in the NCAA"

Republicans obsess over made-up epidemics than the real ones their anti-science attitude unleash

“Conservatives got what they wanted in X, a haven for hate to be spread and misinformation to be amplified. Now that California Democrats are leaving … Republicans wanna say it’s because they don’t want to listen to other people. Give me a break.”
