The Wealth Tax is a “self-inflicted wound” – it underfunds education and hurts California.

Thrilled for my friend, Omar Yaghi; his Nobel Prize winning discovery led to literally harvesting water from Air. Proud to represent @Atoco as they bring water harvesting technology to consumers around the globe. Learn more in this great @Bloomberg piece.
Startup Atoco now has a commercial prototype. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@TedTurnerIII was a visionary whose courage changed television and the news business forever. Sharon and I enjoyed spending time with him and @janefonda back in the day. All of us news watchers will remember him forever.
Always great to be with @Elex_michaelson on @CNNTheStoryIs. As I said to Elex, I urge all candidates to focus their message on affordability – far and away the most important issue for CA Voters. Excited to watch tonight’s @CNN CA Debate.
“The cost of living. Gas prices are going up,” Former CA @GovernorDavis said.
He tells @Elex_Michaelson what he thinks is the key issue in this CA gov. race.
“And groceries, and rent. And if you can afford to buy a house. It’s just too darn expensive to live in California.”

Nice bipartisan Veteran’s Day with former governors @Schwarzenegger and @GovernorDavis hosting a pizza party at the West LA VA.
Thanks @Schwarznegger for including me in your yearly Veterans Day Pizza Party! Veterans contribute more to the U.S. than they get in return. We pay special tribute to their service/sacrifice on Veterans Day, but they deserve our gratitude every day...Great meeting @realchefrush
One of my greatest moments as a child was visiting with Gil Hodges playing First Base for the *BROOKLYN* @Dodgers! As a life-long fan, Go Blue!
ALT Gil Hodges has his arm around Governor Davis above.
Congratulations to my buddy, Omar Yaghi, on winning the Nobel Prize! Omar’s life is the epitome of the American Dream. His journey took him from Jordan to various parts of the United States and finally to @UCBerkeley. Omar’s research will move humanity forward.
Congratulations to UC Berkeley’s Omar Yaghi, who shares the 2025 @NobelPrize in #Chemistry for helping create a field called reticular chemistry. bit.ly/4q5wGsg
John Burton was a force in California politics—uncompromising, passionate, and deeply committed to the causes he believed in. We didn’t always see eye to eye, but I respected his tenacity and his lifelong fight for the vulnerable. His impact will not be forgotten.
With the passing of Pope Francis, the world lost one of its most consequential leaders. His kindness, humility, and mercy inspired many to be better people and endeared him to billions around the globe regardless of their religion or lack thereof. While he is no longer...
Congrats @kaj33! I've rooted for you my whole life, first when you led @UCLA to 3 titles & later winning 5 w. the @Lakers! More importantly for your life's work fighting discrimination & bringing groups together. – Gray

Great enthusiasm for @kamalaharris at the DNC &across the Country! We all have a lot more work to do to ensure we send my friend, Kamala, to the WH. Thank you @JoeBiden for your lifetime of service & tremendous record. You are a true patriot.
