As part of his quest to find new & creative ways to crater the economy, Trump is now targeting immigrant truck driver by trying to revoke their licenses. This is on top of his targeting of farmworkers, construction workers, home health workers & others.

Trump’s newest fight with California? Immigrants who drive trucks for a living
The Trump administration’s new trucking rules ban certain immigrant drivers. Up to 61,000 California truck drivers could lose their licenses.

Yet another garbage, frivolous Trump lawsuit against California.
California offers in-state tuition to non-citizen California residents who graduate from California high schools. Trump says that discriminates. No, it doesn’t, actually.
Quiet, piggy.

In-state college tuition for California’s undocumented students is illegal, Trump suit alleges
California universities offer in-state tuition to undocumented students who graduate from state high schools. The Trump administration is suing CSU, UC and the state, calling the practice illegal.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance — when we remember those no longer with us & recommit to the fight ahead. As Trump & his cult try to erase trans people from existence, we must have their backs.

This is rich. Connie Chan says she “built real affordable housing, not the Sacramento version that destroys our neighborhoods.”
She points to new affordable housing on Geary: housing that she didn’t build but that *was* built using “Sacramento version” housing laws & $52M in state funds. 🧵

Honored to earn the endorsement of @ufcwwest and @ufcw648. Our grocery workers, pharmacists, and frontline retail teams keep California running, and they deserve a champion in Congress. I’m ready to fight beside them for fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity on the job.

When you’re running for office, endorsements are important. But it’s also important to see who’s freaking out about you running. We launched our “Scott’s MAGA Fan Club” page, with all the wacked out MAGA leaders & publications having meltdowns about me running for Congress.🧵

I just announced the No Kings Act, which will allow people to sue federal officers and agents for violating their constitutional rights In other words, if your constitutional rights are violated by Trump and his fascist regime, I'm helping you get made whole and get justice.

Trump is determined to provide sensitive American technology to the Saudis, ranging from AI to military. It seems so linked to his own economic interests: real estate deals, Saudi investments, perhaps his scam meme coin bribe scheme.
He doesn’t care about our country. He only cares about himself.

For so long, they said gays & lesbians were freaks who must be suppressed & converted. They lost that fight.
Now they’re saying the same about trans people.
Like gays & lesbians, trans people have been in all societies forever. They’re part of the natural order. Deal with it.

California is pushing back against Trump’s lawless authoritarianism. Team Wiener is up for the fight. Yesterday, we announced legislation to hold federal agents & officials accountable for violating the law. And we’ll vigorously defend the law I passed to ban ICE, et al masking.

The Trump/MAGA insane obsession with dismantling the Department of Education — by transferring critical education programs to agencies that have nothing to do with education — is the next phase of its nihilism, e.g., destroying USAID & 600,000 people dying as a result.

HELL NO!
As part of Trump’s campaign to make people’s lives worse, he now wants to make everyone sit in traffic longer by ending federal transit funding & putting many more cars on the road.
One of my top priorities in Congress will be a profound increase in transit investment.

San Francisco’s cost of living is through the roof & our city’s extreme housing costs are pushing people out.
Supervisor Connie Chan’s solution? Make housing even more expensive by sabotaging the Mayor’s zoning plan to actually build more homes.
Great work, Supervisor.

Trump’s illegal crusade against the UC — trying to extort $1.2B & impose vile MAGA political ideology — was correctly struck down.
I’m proud of the UC & its workers & students for fighting back. It’s the only way to deal with authoritarianism.
