For everyone saying this is not a time for blame, this is exactly the moment that the people who have been responsible for the mismanagement of California's fire policies be held accountable. Our governor has been obsessed with holding a special session to "Trump-proof" CA,

🚨BREAKING: Democrats in Sacramento just voted to BLOCK $1 billion for wildfire prevention. Their failure to invest in prevention directly lead to the disastrous fires. They would rather spend our tax dollars to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants. Every AYE vote was to kill

For full context today we gaveled into a special session called by Governor Newsom to “Trump-proof” California. I wore my dark MAGA hat to remind him that President Trump received 40% of the CA vote, won the popular vote, and took more than 300 electoral college votes.

No, Governor, I voted against your budget full of misplaced priorities and outrageous programs like free healthcare for illegal immigrants. Don’t blame Republicans for your mess. You and the super-majority Democrat legislature passed a ridiculous budget that cut critical funding

Democrats insist on spending over $5 BILLION a year on illegal immigrant healthcare while they slash wildfire prevention 80% down to $200 million. This should disgust every Californian especially those impacted by the ongoing wildfire disaster in Los Angeles.

I’m calling on Congress to immediately convene upon President Trump’s inauguration and strip California of all its federal funding until it complies with our immigration laws. Not a penny to sanctuary states! #federalism

California is ready to fight. I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration. Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate

I’m proud to say that I was @BrandonStraka’s attorney, and making that call to him today was one of the highlights of my professional career.

I was just called by my attorney. I can now officially say I have received a full, complete, and unconditional pardon. Thank you, @realDonaldTrump. 🙏🏻 For 4 years I have been silenced by my plea agreement, which was a lie from top to bottom. The government forced me to

I just sent an official letter to Governor @GavinNewsom calling on him to convene a special session to address our ongoing unmitigated wildfire disaster. Instead of “Trump-Proofing” California, Newsom needs to FIREPROOF our state! Enough is enough.

FACT CHECK: There is ZERO requirement to prove you are a US citizen to vote in California. The first time you vote, CA accepts all forms of ridiculous fake “ID” such as: -Utility bill -Drug prescription -Public transit card -Student ID -MediCal card, which CA now gives to all

Conditioning aid for American citizens is wrong. FACT: Under current CA law you must be a CA resident and US citizen (and attest to being one under penalty of perjury) AND provide a form of ID such as driver’s license or passport that has been approved by the Secretary of State

BREAKING: I just introduced AB 1783 to revoke all taxpayer funding for health care for illegal immigrants in the California State Budget. It is unconscionable to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to give universal healthcare to illegal immigrants when our own citizens cannot

I want to be clear about what happened last night in the California Legislature and my views on the issue of reparations. For years, the Democrat party has been promising to pay direct cash reparations to Americans who have been harmed by slavery. They convinced voters they were

Bottom line: many of the wild fires CA experienced could have been prevented or significantly mitigated with better management, policies, and funding. This is a time for accountability and, more importantly, change in how we approach fire policy. Many of the rejected proposals

In the 1950s the average timber harvest in California was around 6.0 billion board feet per year. Today, that number has dropped to ~1.5 billion board feet per year. California’s forests, which cover a third of the state, are now choked with nearly 163 million dead trees.
