It brings me great personal pride that the Respect for Marriage Act is one of the final bills to bear my signature as Speaker.
This legislation – which now heads to ’ desk – expresses a value that our nation holds dear: liberty, equality and dignity for all.

Mike Hardeman was a friend, a labor leader who was there for the tough fights, and above all else -- a class act. The world lost one of the good guys and I’m going to miss him. - John L. Burton

I stand in solidarity with UC Academic Workers who seek a fair contract and voted to authorize a strike if needed. I urge the UC System to meet and bargain in good faith with the UAW Academic Workers.

BREAKING - 36,558 total votes were cast in UC Academic Workers’ Strike Authorization Votes, with 98% voting Yes to authorize a multi-unit strike if necessary. These are far and away the largest and most decisive strike authorization votes ever taken by Academic Workers in the US.

I will sleep well tonight for the first time in weeks.
That’s because while our world is suffering in so many ways, we proved that hard things can still be done - with persistence, empathy, integrity, and hard fucking work.
Good job, California. #sb54

This past week, SCOTUS:
- erased the fundamental right to abortion
- restricted the ability of states to regulate guns
- restricted the ability of the Executive branch to regulate climate change
- dismantled the separation of church & state
We can’t afford to lose elections.

Systemic inequalities have led to fossil-fueled power plants being built primarily in communities of color, placing these neighborhoods at higher risk of hazardous pollutant emissions. Today’s decision limits our ability to right those wrongs... #WVvsEPA
