I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The California Transportation Commission has approved $1.1B to fund new zero-emission buses, charging stations, and other infrastructure and investments to make California communities safer and more climate resilient.

As Trump fails to upgrade America's infrastructure, California continues to lead.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

We’re suing the Trump Administration for its unlawful cuts to homeless housing funding — cuts that threaten to rip permanent housing support from tens of thousands of California families.

Donald Trump’s recklessness jeopardizes our housing stability.

We will stop him.

Young adults deserve to feel supported as they transition into adulthood.

That’s why California is investing $56M to expand access to housing so our youth never have to choose between their education, paying rent, or putting food on the table.

We won’t leave them behind.

Trump didn’t read before posting:

“OUR AMERICAN CODE OF MILITARY OBEDIENCE REQUIRES THAT, SHOULD ORDERS AND THE LAW EVER CONFLICT, OUR OFFICERS MUST OBEY THE LAW.”

Say what you will about Dick Cheney, but not allowing Trump and Vance go to his funeral is pretty fucking epic.

The Supreme Court should admit its error and restore the principle that no one, not even the president of the United States, is exempt from the rule of law.
The Supreme Court made a horrible mistake when it gave Trump absolute power
