A federal appeals court has ruled domestic abusers have the right to carry firearms. There are zealots hellbent on leaving government powerless to protect its people--and this assault will only accelerate.
Governor Newsom on Fifth Circuit Court Ruling Allowing Domestic Violence Abusers to Possess Guns

"Now, a federal appeals court has ruled domestic abusers have the right to carry firearms. Where is the line? Who's next?

"Judge Cory Wilson, Judge James Ho, and Judge Edith Jones.

"These three zealots are hellbent on a deranged vision of guns for all, leaving government powerless to protect its people. This is what the ultra-conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court wants. It's happening, and it's happening right now.

"Wake up, America – this assault on our safety will only accelerate. This is serious – and it's coming to California. We are probably only weeks away from another activist judge, Judge Roger Benitez, striking down California's bans on assault weapons and large capacity magazines. California will continue to fight against these extremist judges to protect our residents' right to be free from gun violence."

It's one thing for Big Oil to make record profits as they rip off Californians at the pump - it's another to push to continue harmful drilling near daycares, schools, and homes. California will hold Big Oil accountable - and it starts with passing our price gouging penalty.
Governor Newsom Calls Out Big Oil on Continued Push for Drilling in Neighborhoods
“It’s one thing for Big Oil to make record profits as they rip off Californians at the pump. It’s quite another to push to continue harmful drilling near daycares and schools and our homes. Greedy oil companies know that drilling results in more kids getting asthma, more children born with birth defects, and more communities exposed to toxic, dangerous chemicals – but they would rather put our health at risk than sacrifice a single cent of their billions in profits. 
“I proudly signed SB 1137 last year to stop new oil drilling in our neighborhoods and protect California families. Big Oil knows that California is moving beyond fossil fuels, so on their way out these corporations are doing everything they can to squeeze out profits as they pollute our communities. We’re not standing for it. California will hold Big Oil accountable, and it starts with passing our price gouging penalty to prevent extreme gas

Millions of Californians will get a $90-$120 credit on next month’s natural gas & electricity bills! We sped up the delivery of utility credits that would have gone out late spring. Californians are feeling the rising costs of utility bills--so we're offering relief faster.

Shell just posted their HIGHEST-EVER annual profits - $40 billion. Big oil is hiking up gas prices and ripping you off to line their own pockets. We are working with the Legislature to keep greedy oil companies in line.

"I stand with Armenians & am concerned about the humanitarian implications of the blocked commercial corridor for the people of Artsakh - their free & secure movement is critical. I urge the administration to continue pressure on President Aliyev to restore access." -
Quote Tweet
I urged President Aliyev to immediately restore commercial traffic on the Lachin corridor. Each day it remains blocked risks a humanitarian crisis and undermines the steps that Armenia and Azerbaijan have taken toward peace. The U.S. is committed to supporting these efforts.

CA is demanding more from local governments – no more skirting the law on housing. This accountability is paying off – the state just certified San Francisco's housing plan, which will create over 80k units w/ lots of streamlining. More housing, faster.

Fred Korematsu did not set out to become a civil rights hero, but his bold decision to challenge the policy of Japanese internment altered history. This year, on Fred Korematsu Day, we reflect with gratitude on his brave crusade for civil rights.
