But, I couldn't ask for you to share your story & fight the stigma around abortion without sharing MY abortion story. For the first time publicly I'm sharing my story. What access to abortion meant to me & why I fight to protect/expand access #SayAbortion latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Because nothing says freedom like a backdoor abortion ban.

Lies. Betrayal. Then comes accountability.
Rep. David Valadao proves his empty vows to protect Medicaid were all lies | Opinion sacbee.com/opinion/editor…
While we are sleeping Congress will vote to close clinics, shutter hospitals, cause millions of people to lose health coverage and strip funding for #PlannedParenthood. Tomorrow we will wake up to the damage and we will fight back. Hard.

Yep. And the gloves are off.
Here’s the thing about our Governor @GavinNewsom - he’s a street fighter. He’s not going to let Trump or anyone fuck with California or our country. If Republicans want to bring knives to the fight, he’s bringing tanks. We’ve got his back.
LFG.
Republicans can’t win the traditional game, so they want to change the game. California is proud of our independent commission — it’s a national model. But we need to recognize the existential nature of this moment — there may not be a nation to model. That's why we’ve had…
GOP Rep. David Valadao has a new challenger. @DrJasmeetBains, a physician and centrist Dem in the state lege, wants to make Valadao regret his vote in favor of the GOP megabill. Read more in my latest for @CalMatters #CA22 #CAlege #CApol calmatters.org/politics/2025/…
He’s trying to strike a chord and it’s probably A minor

On the “Big Beautiful Betrayal” bill going to Congress… “We’re all for 2nd chances and Valadeo will have a 2nd chance to do the right thing… and stand tall for his district but if he doesn’t he should stand down. He shouldn’t even run for re-election”. — @CAgovernor #medicaid
Just plain cruel. Planned Parenthood in CA refuses to abandon trans youth & their families, & will continue to fight for the ability of all trans people to access the health care they need & deserve — knowing the fights for repro freedom & trans rights are intrinsically linked.
By upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care, the Supreme Court ruling has dealt a devastating blow to countless trans kids and their families. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…
To watch my friend @SenAlexPadilla assaulted & detained for simply doing his job isn’t just disturbing, it’s downright horrifying. We, the people, will not let this administration- set on authoritarianism- strip us of our rights & terrorize our communities. Period. Full stop.
BREAKING: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., speaks out after being forcibly removed and cuffed from DHS Sec. Noem's press conference.
California strong. Strong because of our values, our diversity, our commitment to liberty and justice for all. Trump’s attack on California values will not divide us. And when we fight back, my bets on @CAgovernor
[FULL ADDRESS] Governor Newsom addresses Californians in response to President Trump’s assault on democracy and the President’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles.
Here’s what you need to know about @CAgovernor’s May Budget Revision: 1. It decreases funding for sexual & reproductive health care providers by half a billion $. 2. It would eliminate 1/3 of PP in CA’s annual funding. 3. It effectively defunds Planned Parenthood in CA.
We look forward to working with the State Legislature to restore reproductive health care funding in the state budget to ensure Planned Parenthood is here for good in California. Read our full response here: plannedparenthoodaction.org/planned-parent…
