    Another 900 firefighters have arrived or will be arriving in Sonoma and Napa Counties. They'll bring with them 190 fire engines and 22 dozers. Multiple aircraft have been hitting the fires hard today. Firefighters are coming from all over CA, Oregon, Washington, Nevada & Arizona.

    Governor @GavinNewsom just eviscerated Ron DeSantis on live TV. A total crime scene! Best line of the night was 100% truth from Newsom 👇 “One thing we have in common, is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024.” Take a seat, Ronny.

    The ICE raids we’re seeing across LA County today are ruthless, indiscriminate and are designed to instill terror into the lives of Californians. America must put a stop to these fascist tactics. We call for an immediate release of SEIU State Council President David Huerta who
    Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him. seiuca.org/press-releases…

    Today, I’m launching my campaign for Congress to defeat Doug LaMalfa. Flipping CA-01, bringing costs down, and stopping Donald Trump. That’s going to take hard work. I’m all in. Every damn day.

    Reminder that Jim Jordan: - Wants to ban abortion nationwide. - Wants to ban same-sex marriage. - Tried (and failed) to overturn the 2020 election. And... he helped organize a massive cover-up of sexual abuse as a wrestling coach. The national GOP is completely off the rails.

    To say 2020 has been a terrible year is an understatement. That said, this year has brought our family hope during some dark times. After a few years of trying, we’ve got some good news. Well, maybe not for Gertrude the Pug. Better days, and a stinky baby boy are ahead in 2021

    🚨 BS Alert 🚨 First off, shocker, water from the Pacific Northwest doesn’t flow to the Central Valley. Second, federal water pumps were down for repair and are now back on. Third, rest assured, the military has not invaded the delta. Facts are hard.

    A bundle of absolute joy. Connor Michael McGuire entered the world at 5:16am on Sunday morn. It was such an incredibly emotional moment for us. 8 pounds, 10 oz. He’s healthy, happy and nursing like a champ. Erika did amazing and is doing well. All are a bit sleep deprived.

    Let’s be blunt.  The manufacturers had nothing to do with this.  They’re capping costs because of the amazing work of @JoeBiden driving a damn good deal that will benefit millions of Americans.
    Starting today, all three major insulin manufacturers are offering $35/mo caps on out-of-pocket costs. Also today, they’re cutting list prices by 70% or more - a move that’s expected to *save* them hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

    Effective January 1, 2023, the government set a $35 cap per monthly prescription among Medicare Part D enrollees under the Inflation Reduction Act. The IRA was signed into law on August 16, 2022 by President Biden. Further details available here: aspe.hhs.gov/sites/default/…

    BREAKING: An appeals court just paused the dangerous lower court decision that would have invalidated CA’s life-saving assault weapons ban. Assault weapons remain banned in our state. And it should stay that way. Grateful to AG @RobBonta and his team for their work on this.

    A Democrat was just re-elected Governor of Kentucky. Ohio voters just voted overwhelmingly to protect reproductive healthcare and abortion. Good night for democracy — and a good night for America.

    Last night at the Republican debate, @VivekGRamaswamy said: - January 6th was an inside job - The 2020 election was stolen - The government lied about 9/11 - The “Great Replacement” is not a conspiracy The GOP giving this nut job a megaphone is so dangerous for our democracy.

    As @realDonaldTrump prepares to land in California to talk wildfires, here’s a quick refresher: 1. Approx 57% of CA’s 33 million acres of forests are owned and managed by the Feds. Just 3% are owned and managed by the state or local gov’t...
