Let this renewed threat against San Francisco be a warning to every community: Trump will not stop with L.A., Portland, D.C., or Chicago. Your city could be next.

Using our servicemembers for law enforcement is illegal, and I'm prepared to do everything I can to block this threatened deployment.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Trump: "Drug prices went down for the year by 1/8 of 1 percent. Now I'm getting them down, Maria, 500, 600, 800 percent. In some cases even more than that. It's hard to believe."

We are united against kings. Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a 3rd term. But #WeThePeople don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption & abuse of power.

Imagine if KJP or Psaki had said this about the Republican base: not just that half of them were “deplorables” but that the GOP’s “main constituency is made up of domestic terrorists, white supremacists, and violent criminals”? The media, not just Fox, would be in meltdown. GOP would be screaming!

I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.

The president wants all the parts of government closed that he can't personally profit from. So he doesn't care about health care for your family. He wants to build a White House ballroom and promote bitcoin.

If you had told me in 2006 that a future Republican president would indict John Bolton, I would have laughed so hard.

But it’s 2025 and I’m not laughing.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

This isn't the bumbling, directionless Trump first term. This time, they are implementing a plan to let Trump and his people rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them.
