SCOOP! The travel ban applies to using state funds. The Governor’s travel is not being paid by the state. Connecting the two is an attempt at gotcha journalism that is neither gotcha nor journalism. The governor is on a vacation with his family. He will return later this week
Thanks
@Rich_Holmes22
for turning a disappointing night for a young Kings fan into one he will never forget. He already had a 22 jersey. Now he’s got one to grow into. Hope you know how much that means to him. You’ve got a fan for life.

Fixed That For You:
Green arrows are for offering real relief to Californians rather than your bill to give away millions more to oil companies. Out of touch doesn’t begin to describe it.
Since California moved to winter blend gasoline, we saw the largest ever single day drop in wholesale prices that refineries pay for gas. But prices at the pump are EXACTLY THE SAME. It doesn’t add up. Oil companies are ripping you off.
Murder rates were an average of 40% higher in 2020 in the 25 states that Trump carried in 2020 compared to states carried by Biden — and far higher than in "deep blue" states like NY and CA.
Governor Gavin Newsom did the right thing when he promised to appoint a Black woman to the U.S. Senate.
If he intends to keep his promise and appoint a Black woman to the Senate, there shouldn’t be any strings attached.
Most beautiful thing I've read in a long, long time. Tough stuff, but incredible grace and strength from
@erskinetimes
. Will carry this one with me for a long while.
Business are shuttering again, schools will be closed this fall, workers are in danger -- all because people won't wear face coverings. Anti-mask, anti-vax, anti-science, anti-public health. It's time to call this movement what it is -- deadly

As SCOTUS moves to strip women of their rights, California leaders will place an amendment to the state constitution on the November ballot ensuring a woman’s right to an abortion.
This is a big deal. California makes it official -- no new gasoline cars will be sold in the state after 2035. This is the single most significant thing we can do to fight pollution and combat climate change.

but cannot be there in person, you can stream it live at the link below, or on other platforms. See today's Nooner for more details...
Lots of creative cutting and clipping from
@hannity
and other cogs of the Right Wing bullshit machine out there today. Anyone is interested in what Gov. Newsom actually said about cleaning up San Francisco can check the clip below
I agree with
@realDonaldTrump
: There was a well-funded and intricate plot to take the presidency from him — and more than 72 million of us were in on it.
47 years ago, I was born to a teenage mother who decided adoption was the best choice for her. Grateful for the choice she made, but even more grateful that she had the right to make a choice. Will continue to fight with those who stand for choice

California: You can help keep the lights on this week during this record heat wave by pre-cooling your house. Set thermostat to 70 degrees until 4 pm. Then to 78 degrees between 4-9 pm.
California just announced its lowest unemployment rate in history. The 3.9% July number is the lowest since records started being kept in 1976.
Now if we can just get comprehensive immigration reform so we can fill those jobs, keep inflation down and keep our economy humming…
Making a little history as
@EleniForCA
signs a bill into law. It’s the first time a woman has signed a bill into law in California history. Won’t be the last time…

6 people shot in Winston-Salem. Police say they are working three scenes and found more than 50 spent shell casings at Fairview Park.

If elected,
@GavinNewsom
would become the first Democrat since 1887 to directly follow another Democratic governor in office. (Incidentally, the last person to do it, Washington Bartlett, was also a former mayor of San Francisco)
Florida man doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Clean California launched in 2021 and has cleaned over 3,200 encampments and removed more than 2 mil cubic yards of litter from CA roadways. Not surprising that facts get short shrift fro this 3rd tier presidential wannabe
San Francisco has deteriorated into chaos and squalor under Democrat rule. They can't clean up the city for Americans, but they can clean up for Xi Jinping? It shows all you need to know about who really runs the show.
Deeply disturbed and angry about 'suspicious' fire at home of
@LorenaSGonzalez
and
@nathanfletcher
. Investigation ongoing, but can't help but jump to worst case scenario, and all that implies. Grateful nobody was hurt. I, for one, am mad as hell.
Disappointing and disturbing to see angry mob rule and ignorance trump public service and science as the county rescinds its mask order. Local health officers should be supported by state leaders as they put public health over nihilistic politics and pseudo-science.
The anti-vaxxers have become anti-maskers. Local public health officers, who haven’t been this important in a century are being second-guessed, harassed and threatened by residents, and sometimes local leaders, putting us all at risk.
Chris is spot on. This volatile system is the one voters signed up for when they passed Prop. 30. And that’s why the legislature and Gov. Newsom have maxed out budget reserves and built in billions more in budget resiliency. We knew this was coming and we have prepared.

So much media hyperbole about
@LAO_CA
's fiscal outlook for '23-24: "whiplash," "stunning," "dire."😱 Words I would use: "predictable," "expected," "manageable," & "prepared" (after a decade of good management of the state's fiscal health). I know...so boring.🥱

cross Jefferson at Locks Drive this morning.
They will be clearing high weeds and grass along the Clarksburg Branch Line Trail to help prevent wildfires! 🐐💛
If you haven't read it yet, take a look at Liam Dillon's piece on housing in Marin. Important illustration of how race and class overlap in today's California and how well-meaning policies have consequences that often get short shrift.
Big Oil is ripping off Californians. Crude oil prices are dropping, but polluters are keeping prices high at the pump to earn record profits. The House passed a bill I wrote to crack down on this greed. Republican Senators bankrolled by Big Oil are blocking it.
Proud to be on hand with
@CMAdocs
in the Capitol this morning standing with
@AsmMikeGipson
in support of AB 1196, which would eliminate the use of the carotid restraint by law enforcement.

Any group of fish that stays together for social reasons is said to be shoaling, and if the shoal is swimming in the same direction together, it is schooling
This is dizzying. Republicans lure CA companies to move headquarters, offering huge tax breaks. Then, GOP alienates workers by stripping people of their rights. Workers revolt, and companies go CYA, offering safe passage back to ... California.

@madrid_mike
Here’s hoping all those who believe in constitutional protections instead of mob/authoritarian rule can come together to fight for basic common values and principles. Would be ironic in some ways if this could be catalyzed by abortion restrictions of all things But here’s hoping
If you ever had any doubt that Big Oil ripping you off, the numbers are in. Profits for Valero are more than 600 percent higher than they were last year.
Some budget news this evening: Tomorrow Newsom will propose spending billions of additional dollars on drought response, wildfire suppression and rural workforce development programs, per budget documents I reviewed.
Been coming to these things for 25 years, through 5 different governors, and pretty sure this is the first

press conference in that time without Rich Pedroncelli. Just not the same.
Bob Dole was not my choice for President, but he was undeniably a statesman and a patriot. He, and what he represented in our politics, are already sorely missed. RIP
Forecasting record high energy demand in CA today- more than 51,000 MW. That's about 1000 MW higher than the previous record in 2006. Precool homes this morning & try to use as little electricity as possible during from 4-9pm. Together, we can keep each other safe&cool.

This fall, when all my friends in Orange County are wondering why their schools are still closed, they can thank the extremist anti-mask movement, and their ringleader,
@DonWagonerCA
. Orange County deserves better leadership.
This is also a reminder for all those Republicans who said we should just suspend the gas tax that oil companies do not psd their savings on to consumers. We need to hold them accountable. It doesn’t add up
I dare anyone to spend time with Rachelle and City of Refuge and not feel inspired, humbled and moved. Thank you for hosting us this afternoon, for all who shared stories, and for everything you do, and will do, for our community.
I'm a cynical bastard, but have never more proud to help support physicians - and all health care workers - who are true heroes putting the public interest over their personal well being. We're heading in to some difficult times. Don't forget to
#ThankADoctor
#ThankANurse
Today, I started to hear the first-hand stories of our physicians heading in to ORs and hospitals without the protective gear they need to keep them safe. More of these stories are coming. These men and women continue to treat those who need care, putting their own health at risk
