I am saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Berkeley Fire Captain Scott Hall, a dedicated servant to the Berkeley community for 33 years. My thoughts are with Hall’s family and the Berkeley Fire Department during this difficult time.

Tomorrow, @seiuca.org President David Huerta will go to court after peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights at an ICE raid in LA when he was tackled and detained. We will not be intimidated. I stand with Huerta, working families, immigrants, & democracy.

November is Trans Awareness Month. At a time when trans rights are under attack nationally, California has been leading the way in advancing rights. I am proud to stand with the LGBTQ community in approving legislation to protect gender-affirming care and patient privacy.

California’s efforts to preserve our offshore natural resources has been vital in protecting local economies and advancing our climate goals. I strongly oppose offshore drilling, which undermines the progress we have made. We can meet our energy needs without risking oil spills.

It’s deeply concerning that the Trump Administration is suing California for requiring precisely what the FBI is urging. SB 627 protects both the public and legitimate officers. (1/2)

John Beam was a beloved member of the Oakland community who for decades inspired young athletes to achieve their full potential. I am shocked that his life was cut short in a heinous act of violence. I take solace in knowing that those he mentored will continue his legacy.
John Beam died Friday, a day after he was shot inside the Oakland campus fieldhouse, authorities said.

Today I hosted a hearing on the federal impacts on CalFresh, which 5.5 million Californians rely on. Because of Trump's actions, 395,000 Californians could lose coverage. I am committed to protecting communities from devastating long-term cuts to SNAP. sd07.senate.ca.gov/news/395000-...

From Laney College to Skyline High, my heart is with our city that has been shaken by gun violence, and I pray that the victims quickly recover. I am committed to working with regional partners in continuing efforts to decrease crime and ensure that our schools are safe spaces.

The fact that the FBI had to issue a bulletin calling on ICE to identify themselves shows why we need laws like SB 627 to protect the public and promote transparency and accountability.

As Trump mimics Marie Antoinette hosting luxury dinners, he can't stand the fact that the courts are stopping him from starving tens of millions of Americans. Trump's cruelty knows no bounds. California will make sure that CalFresh recipients get their benefits in full.

The shutdown is not stopping Congress from threatening states' rights while harming public safety. H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Mandate, would let people from other states ignore state laws and carry guns without a permit. I call on Congress to oppose this dangerous legislation.

Californians have sent a clear message with the passage of Prop 50 – when democracy is under attack we will stand up and fight back. I am grateful to Californians who have used their voice and vote to object to Trump’s attempts to rig elections.
Tuesday capped off a whirlwind, hyper-partisan two-and-a-half-month campaign for one of the most expensive ballot measures in state history. Here are four things to know about how Prop. 50 will affect California, Newsom and Trump. bit.ly/4oRV8M2
