Young adults deserve to feel supported as they transition into adulthood.
That’s why California is investing $56M to expand access to housing so our youth never have to choose between their education, paying rent, or putting food on the table.
We won’t leave them behind.

It is a breach of trust.

It’s not unimaginable. This is the same peace deal the kremlin peddled to Trump in 2016 via Kilimnik. And don’t forget Jared’s multiple Middle East “peace deals” that never included Palestine. There’s been like three of those.
Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."
