Hi @GavinNewsom! Do you really want your legacy to be taking money away from school kids for air conditioning during heat waves to hand it to a fossil fuel company that made $1.8 billion in profit last year?
Extend CalSHAPE. Cool the schools. It’s really not that complicated.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who'd like to take a moment to appreciate Joe Biden while he's still with us, although he's suffering greatly from cancer.
This is one of my favorite clips of him, so compassionate and caring. Amazing guy🙏💙🙏.
Praying for you, Joe.

⚠️ Brannan Island State Recreation Area is currently closed until further notice due to environmental hazards following a recent fire.
This closure highlights the neglect of infrastructure, lack of security investment, and the Delta's vulnerability to Newsom’s bad water plans.

TWEEPS: At 5pm today, trump moved to end mail-in voting while continuing to use it himself. That’s not election integrity, that’s blatant voter suppression.
I need 1,000 fast RTs and replies using #TrumpVotedByMail.
Please and thank you! 🙏💪

My god. 😞
We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.
Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

BREAKING: In an extraordinary and illegal move, Trump says he’s transferring $10 billion from the U.S. government to his “Board of Peace,” which he chairs and can use the funds as he wishes.
Where is Congress???

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

Listen to British member of Parliament Ed Davey completely tear Trump apart, calling him, the "most corrupt president America has ever seen" and "an international gangster":
"President Trump is acting like an international gangster, threatened to trample over the sovereignty of an ally, threatening the end of NATO altogether, and now threatening to hit our country and seven European allies with outrageous damaging tariffs unless he gets his hands on Greenland. This is an incredibly grave moment for the United Kingdom, Europe, and the world. He is a bully. The most corrupt president, the United States has ever seen. So there are only two ways to get him to back down: bribing him with a new jet, perhaps, or a few billion in his crypto account."

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:
"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate and House to start to take control of political power... With this erratic and mad behaviour, you have to ask... Is the President capable of running the US?"

JOINT statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom! ✅
Wave a 🇬🇱 flag if you're with Greenland,
Denmark, and other NATO members! 🇬🇱

My Republican colleagues must take notice:
The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.
This is pathetic.
It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.
Breaking News: President Trump told Norway’s prime minister that one reason he’s pushing to acquire Greenland is because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. nyti.ms/3YMteq4

BREAKING: Danish troops just arrived in Greenland, including Denmark’s Army Chief Peter Boysen, after Trump’s threats.
Let that sink in.
One of America’s closest allies is now deploying forces… because of the United States.
This is what humiliation looks like:
We’re not deterring Russia. We’re scaring our friends.
How is this acceptable?
