Forcing women to bear the children of their abusive ex-partners, while protecting the ability of their abusive exes to easily purchase guns—& allowing them to carry guns openly w/out permits or training. *Those* are now the values Republican stand for. It’s incomprehensibly vile.

Just so we're clear: in the midst of a raging pandemic that Trump downplayed & ignored for months—during which he refused to help states—he's now, instead, sending unwanted secret police forces who are willing to use batons & tear gas on moms? Disgusting.

Today Trump threatened the women of CA & our right to access safe & legal abortion. In Sept—our Assembly overwhelmingly passed #ACR110 —reaffirming CA as a "Reproductive Freedom State for All." That will not change. We won't pay the price for a radical right-wing agenda. Period.

Trump when asked by @jonathanvswan how history will remember Rep. John Lewis: "I don't know." When asked if Rep. Lewis' accomplishments were impressive: "I can't say one way or the other." That was a softball. Congressman Lewis was a giant. Nov. 3rd can't come soon enough.
