Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark.

Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.

California will not sit idle as Donald Trump and Republicans take a wrecking ball to our democracy.

This moment calls for urgency and action.

That's why we’re giving voters a way to fight back and nullify congressional gains in Texas or any state that tries to rig its maps.

Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have picked back up where Bruce Rauner left off.

They’re declaring war on working people by making workplaces less safe and raising the cost of living.

Luckily, we've seen this movie before.

We beat them once. And we’re going to do it again.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Good morning!

Trump is the opposite of manly. Beta

He wears makeup. He whines non-stop. He’s always a poor victim. He dodged the draft. He have never served anything noble. He’s desperate for approval. He smells like the inside of a warm prison on the bayou, he hikes his pants up high

Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.

If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

Donald Trump and Republicans are pushing illegal maps that violate the Voting Rights Act.

Instead, Congress should pass fair, independent maps nationwide. Without that, Democratic states must consider all the options to protect our constitutional republic.

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.
Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats

They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

Things that will happen when he's gone:

* we're going to learn about shit he did that's so heinous, it makes the stuff we know about look tame

* his many minions will claim to have "always opposed" him and demand sympathy for their suffering at his hands

* dancing in the streets, worldwide

Perez: The governor's coordinating the Texas department of public safety with the FBI, the president—this is really the type of coordination that could have been used when Texans needed it during the recent floods.

I was against fighting under a different set of rules than Republicans before it was cool. Lots of professors and good gov groups attacked me. Even some in the party.

Glad that we are now all on team fight!

More from me on this going out soon.

I know we say “Everything is bigger in Texas,” but this is, in fact, bigger than Texas. This is nothing but a power grab, and it will ultimately impact all of us.

You’ve heard of Donald Trump. But have you heard of Russell Vought?

He’s the man behind Project 2025—a 900-page roadmap for dismantling democracy and rebuilding it in the image of the far-right. Six months in, Trump is executing this plan step-for-step.

Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.
