    The day after Christmas, 12 million will lose unemployment benefits.   On New Year’s Eve, eviction moratoriums, small business relief and more will expire.   The House has acted, and is willing to compromise. So is Trump.   So far, nothing but a lump of coal from Mitch McConnell.

    So no one told you life was gonna be this way...

    Just, for no particular reason, thinking about the time I saw Rudy Giuliani sitting on a reproduction of the Friends couch in the CNN lobby, shouting into his phone that Adam Schiff was “shaking in his boots”

    During impeachment, Republicans argued that, although Trump may be guilty, the voters should decide. Well, voters decided. Overwhelmingly. And now Trump is trying to overturn the will of voters. Republicans’ new ideology? Never mind the Constitution. Just do what Trump wants.

    We’re at a crossroads in our fight against coronavirus. The virus is spreading as rapidly as it was in the spring. I know it’s tough. But now is the time to make sacrifices so we can save lives. Mask. Social distance. Limit travel and gatherings. Stay safe, Californians.

    Due to the rise in cases, CA is issuing a limited Stay at Home Order. Non-essential work and gatherings must stop from 10pm-5am in counties in the purple tier. This will take effect at 10pm on Saturday and remain for 1 month. Together--we can flatten the curve again.

    Countless public servants have tried to determine how to ethically serve a deeply unethical president.   Many have failed, but some have stood up when it mattered.   can still stand up to protect our democracy. Because waiting could cost lives.   Do the right thing.

    NEW: People who have spoken to GSA Admin Emily Murphy say she's struggling with the weight of the election on her shoulders, feeling like she's in a no-win situation trying to follow what she sees as precedent to wait to ascertain, w/

    Trump only knows how to put his own interests first. He can't understand Chris Krebs or others, like our brave service members, who put duty and service to the country above all else. Trump doesn't understand patriotism. And he never will.

    Director Krebs worked diligently to safeguard our elections from interference and misinformation. He protected our democracy. And spoke truth to power. That’s why Trump retaliated and fired him. It’s pathetic and predictable from a president who views truth as his enemy.

    Joe Biden can cancel student debt on day 1. He doesn't need to wait for Congress. And millions of Americans saddled with debt can't wait, either.   It's good policy, too — and will stimulate the economy quickly.   We need to think big to build a better, fairer economy for all.

    You count every vote. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. It’s the essence of our democracy. Unless you’re Trump’s GOP. Then you either win, or cry fraud and try to get legal votes thrown out. Biden won. The only question now is how much damage Trump will do on his way out.

    Spreading misinformation. Undermining our standing abroad. Delaying critical national security preparedness.   Trump seems determined to burn down the house on his way out the door. We must not let him succeed.

    Trump always puts his personal interests first. He doesn't care what it means for the country. If he can sabotage the Biden Administration, he'll do it. If he can punish his enemies, he'll do it. If he can stay in power, he'll do it. But he will not succeed.

    A tragic milestone: California now has 1 million cases of COVID-19. It didn’t have to be this way. But we’re not powerless against this virus. Be as cautious, if not more, as you were in March. Wear a mask. Limit travel. Social distance. We can save lives. But we have to act.

    California has become the second state in the U.S. to record 1 million confirmed coronavirus infections, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Texas reached the mark earlier this week.

    "The president couldn't be doing all this, he couldn't have broken down so many of our norms and democratic institutions over the last four years, he couldn't be behaving the way he is today, if there weren't leaders in the Republican Party ... going along with him."

    Imagine if this happened in another country: A leader refusing to concede, alleging fraud without evidence, resisting a peaceful transition of power. We would condemn it. It’s no different here. Trump lost. Biden won. America cherishes her democracy. It’s time we show it.

    Trump fired the Secretary of Defense by tweet. He removed a top climate scientist from his post. And his Attorney General is doing Trump’s bidding, sowing doubt in the election. There will be more blood-letting before the end, as Trump lashes out. But a new day is coming.

    Today, Trump is in the Supreme Court trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. 
 Trump wants to end healthcare for millions — during a pandemic. It’s unconscionable.   Access to healthcare is a human right and we will fight not only to protect it, but to make it universal.

    Some good news to start your week: Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine may be more than 90% effective. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, but the virus is still spreading. As scientists continue to work on a vaccine, we all have to do our part. Wear a mask. Social distance. Be safe.

    Breaking News: Pfizer said early data showed its vaccine was more than 90 percent effective in preventing Covid-19, pushing the company to a lead in the vaccine race.

    Over the last four years, our democracy was tested in ways we never imagined. At times it seemed to falter, the guardrails tumbling down. But in the end, our democracy proved resilient. Because truth mattered, right mattered, and decency mattered. Because of you.
