In one of the stupidest policy moves ever, Trump cut off most support for the American EV industry. Champagne was flowing in Beijing... @murphymike writes about smart ways that CA could fill some of the gap. Sacramento should get to work on this ASAP. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Why does @StephenM’s secret police force keep kidnapping Americans? And why isn’t this the biggest story in America?
Reporter: We met a sister and a wife of a man who works as a security guard, he is a disabled US veteran. He is a US citizen. They are desperately looking for him. They say he was taken in the raid
In 2009, I was one of those screaming from the rooftops that the US had the chance to end oil dependence. China went and did it. wsj.com/world/china/ch…
“It’s gone much farther than ‘We’ve got to get rid of dangerous criminals, cartels & gang members.’ It’s gotten very personal for a lot of folks-whether or not they’re Latino” said Sam Yebri, president of Thrive LA” …politico.com/news/2025/07/1…
It doesn’t have to be this way. We need new voices and new ideas in Sacramento. sfchronicle.com/california/art…
My heart goes out to their families…horrible.
UPDATE: Tragically, 3 deputies are confirmed deceased. No other injuries reported. Sources tell me that 3 LASD deputies were moving ordinance on the facility’s property when the accident took place. I’m told at this time this appears to be an accident & not a nefarious incident.
Nearly 30% of meteorologist positions in California’s weather offices are vacant as the state approaches peak wildfire season. latimes.com/california/sto…

Deeply grateful to the amazing LA artist (and my lifelong pal) Alex Israel for designing our new campaign logo. Inspiration was a California sunrise—a new day where it’s easier and more affordable to live here, where we’ve taken on crime and homelessness, where this is the best…
Did anyone ask the @POTUS on his visit to the flood-ravaged Hill Country of Texas whether he still believes climate change is a "hoax?"
This made me cry. As the US ambassador to Russia, I had the tremendous privilege of working with these talented patriots who were completely dedicated to serving our great country. Such a colossal waste. Antithetical to advancing American national interest.
HAPPENING NOW!! Moving scene - tears, hugs, and cheers - inside the State Dept HQ tonight, as diplomats gathered in the lobby to clap out their laid off colleague, some of which have served for decades 👇🏻
“If we ever close the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.”
Ronald Reagan: “Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have been working in politics for almost 40 years. I am trying to think of a worse piece of legislation signed into law than the monstrosity the Republicans just passed. I’m coming up short. It’s the worst new law of my adult life.
From California’s perspective, here’s some of what what will happen: - hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, will lose health care (majority of CA kids are on Medicaid) - clean energy/scientific and medical research that power our economy and improve people’s lives will shrink…
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
Washington is debating the most destructive legislation in a generation…but California does the opposite… a great investment in the future. And a BFD!
California expands the Film & TV Tax Credit to $750 million. "Now we're competitive!" @CAgovernor says the bipartisan bill will help 16 TV shows film in CA, bringing in an estimated $1.1 billion to the state. Our @FOXLA story includes @GavinNewsom, Noah Wylie, @MayorOfLA…
This is an American tragedy. The damage to health care and clean energy will be generational. Reminds me of the old line (I think from Pat Moynihan), “in Washington, moderate Republicans are always there when you don’t need them.”
It does seem worth asking why Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) will support health care provisions for the rest of the country that she thinks her state should be exempted from
Well, here's a turn of events @elonmusk vows to defeat politicians who back Trump's megabill 'if it is the last thing I do opposes bill "because it would add trillions of dollars to the deficit and eliminate federal subsidies for renewable energy" businessinsider.com/elon-musk-vows…
Great end of quarter for our campaign…honored by the support of so many community leaders led by @RickCarusoLA and @AVillaraigosa. And moved by the contributions from folks all over the district. We’re just getting started!
Schatz: This bill will kill 300,000 jobs in wind and solar per year. We're going to lose out on $450 billion in capital as thousands of projects go under. And because of that, we're going to generate about 500 gigawatts less energy in the next decade. The 500 gigawatts less…
