Donald Trump says he wants our military to use cities like Los Angeles and Portland as a "training ground." Absolutely not.

This un-American, illegal use of the military to terrorize in our communities must end now.

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize.

California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

The largest graduating class of new California Highway Patrol officers since December 2009 was just sworn in.

Protecting communities up and down our state, these 146 additional officers represent the best of California through their service and dedication.

Republicans are lying to the American people about the government shutdown.

It's shameful and they know it.

New in PN: Judge steps up to block ICE's kidnapping of Guatemalan kids

"It’s a strong rebuke to doomers who say that the law doesn’t matter. It mattered this weekend for the children pulled off those planes, and it continues to matter as courts step in to check Trump's worst, cruelest excesses."

Trump is weaponizing the govt against anyone he doesn't like, whether Lisa Cook, John Bolton or George/Alex Soros. It is behavior completely incompatible with a free society and an affront to the Constitution.

If he can do it to them, he can do it to you. Call Congress and demand they intervene.
The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous.

Parnas: If he went to Congress and said, “You know what? There’s this crime emergency. We need the National Guard out there longer. We need to take over Washington, D.C.” Would you grant it?

(I'm entirely serious. No one in American political life has tried to seriously suggest the goal of forcing Trump from office before 4 years is over, and this is because it is not imagined to be possible.)

I thought I had to wait 365 days from my last optometrist appointment in order for my insurance to cover it. And same for new glasses. It turns out, the benefits renew every January so not being able to see well for the past 2-3 months was entirely preventable by, you know, reading.

They won’t thank you for telling the truth.
They’ll shame you. Ban you. Call you dangerous.

Because truth isn’t welcome in a world built on lies.
