Through legislation, investments, and partnerships, California salutes the 160,000 active duty service members and nearly 1.5 million veterans who call the Golden State home.

We're committed to honoring their dedication and selflessness every day by giving back.

From Maine to New Mexico, Americans are begging Congress to *show up* and protect their health care.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are here ready to work. Republicans? Still on vacation—because Trump and Johnson told them to stay home.

No one is making Trump & Vance fire federal workers during this shutdown—they just want to.

This is just another one of Trump's intimidation tactics—don't be intimidated by these crooks. I'm not.

Trump says that, with his illegal mass layoffs, he’s closing “Democrat programs.” But programs like Social Security, education for children with disabilities, & clean water enforcement work for all Americans. If you want to repeal them, send a bill to Congress; if not, hands off.

Good for you, New York Times. Good for you, Fox. Thanks for not accepting Hegseth’s ridiculous press pledge—an effort to turn you into mouthpieces for MAGA state propaganda. A free press is not the “enemy of the people,” but—when you do your job and tell the truth—the people’s best friend.

Media including Fox News overwhelmingly reject Pentagon press policy

Fox News, along with ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN, said that the Pentagon policy violates their “core journalistic protections.”

I don’t know who Pete Hegseth is trying to fool. Journalists have never roamed free or without badges in the Pentagon, no one does—I know, I worked there.

Either he isn’t spending enough time in the Pentagon doing his job or he just hasn’t got a clue what’s going on around him. What a joke.
