@realDonaldTrump
is lying on immigration, lying about crime and lying about the laws of CA. Flying in a dozen Republican politicians to flatter him and praise his reckless policies changes nothing. We, the citizens of the fifth largest economy in the world, are not impressed.
👋 Thanks for the shout-out,
@realDonaldTrump
. But bridges are still better than walls. And California remains the 6th largest economy in the world and the most prosperous state in America.

At a time of unprecedented political turmoil, Jeff Sessions has come to California to further divide and polarize America. Jeff, these political stunts may be the norm in Washington, but they don’t work here. SAD!!!
This vote will live in infamy. It eviscerates the last vestige of Congressional integrity and does irreparable damage to our once proud Republican Party. It will not stand.
#GOPTaxScam
This is insane – it borders on criminality. It perhaps is the most obvious and dangerous and irresponsible action by Mr. Trump. And that’s saying quite a lot, because he has a whole list of them.
Breaking News: The EPA unveiled its new pollution rules for coal power. In the fine print: Increased emissions could cause 1,400 premature deaths a year.
#SB100
and this executive order put California on a path to meet the goals of Paris and beyond. It will not be easy. It will not be immediate. But it must be done.

Today, California’s message to the Trump administration is simple: Not here, not now. We will not let the federal government pillage public lands and destroy our treasured coast.

While the
@WhiteHouse
declares war on climate science and retreats from the Paris Agreement, California is doing the opposite and taking action.
#COP23
In California, facts and science still matter. These findings are profoundly serious and will continue to guide us as we confront the apocalyptic threat of irreversible climate change.
California set the toughest emissions targets in the nation, tracked progress and delivered results. The next step is for California to cut emissions below 1990 levels by 2030 — a heroic and very ambitious goal.
NEWS RELEASE: Climate pollutants fall below 1990 levels for first time ➡️

#SB32
Achievement roughly equal to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year
#ActOnClimate
The world must radically change. It must decarbonize & establish a totally renewable basis for all economic activity. We can do it but only if the deniers, the skeptics & the comfortable wake up to what the scientists are telling us 🌎
⚠️ This flawed and dangerous measure pushed by Trump’s Washington allies jeopardizes the safety of millions of Californians by stopping local communities from fixing their crumbling roads and bridges. Just say no. 👎
Thank you
@realDonaldTrump
for making crystal clear how little you know about the global car market. Your horse and buggy strategy will not work.
The fossil fuel car is going the way of the dodo bird. Please inform the other members of the Flat Earth Society.
Thank you

for standing with us for Better, Cheaper, Safer Cars for Americans. California has treated the Auto Industry very poorly for many years, harming Workers and Consumers. We are fixing this problem!
I want to personally thank all of the firefighters, emergency managers, first responders, national guard members, law enforcement officers and volunteers working around the clock to fight these fires and help our communities recover.
Dianne Feinstein was a wonderful friend of the Brown family. I got to know her well over the years and came to deeply appreciate her intensity, devotion to duty and unfailing solicitude for her friends. Dianne was utterly unique and set the bar for those who follow.
Judge Barrett: Have you not read Laudato si'?
Unlike you, our Pope has firm views on climate change. Pope Francis tells us clearly climate change threatens all of humanity and all of God’s creatures.
For the love of God, please read it.
NEW: We’re facing a climate crisis.
We need bold action.
CA is phasing out the internal combustion engine.
By 2035 every new car sold in CA will be an emission free vehicle.
Cars shouldn’t give our kids asthma.
Make wildfires worse.
Melt glaciers.
Or raise sea levels.
The states joining today’s lawsuit represent 140 million people who simply want cleaner and more efficient cars. This phalanx of states will defend the nation’s clean car standards to boost gas mileage and curb toxic air pollution. 🌎
Nancy was the best chief of staff a governor could ever ask for. She understood gov't & politics, could manage, was a diplomat & was fearless. Nancy loved her job & we loved her doing it. This is truly a loss for me, Anne, our office, Nancy’s family & close friends – & all of CA
On behalf of all Californians, Anne and I extend our deepest condolences to Mayor Lee's family, his many friends and the entire City of San Francisco. Ed was a true champion for working people and epitomized the California spirit. He'll truly be missed.
Rolling back the Endangered Species Act is profoundly unwise. Mr. President, we humans are part of the web of life and dependent on other species for our well-being. You’ve done dumb things, and now you’re doing something utterly dangerous –– unforgivable!
The Trump Administration is revoking California’s Federal Waiver on emissions in order to produce far less expensive cars for the consumer, while at the same time making the cars substantially SAFER. This will lead to more production because of this pricing and safety......
Thank God for the 23 states suing to stop Trump’s insane move to make American cars more polluting. Lord knows, we already have enough pollution coming from his mouth.
Nearly 2 million veterans live in California. In honoring these brave Americans today, we recognize their valor and their sacrifices in the service of our country.

Trump blames China. I blame Trump.
Why? For failing to mobilize America’s powerful capacity for testing, tracing, and isolating those exposed. If he had done so, America would be fully open today — not reeling deeper into economic uncertainty.
We can do this together. Please

now. Demand is higher than expected. Help relieve stress on the grid by lowering A/C, deferring use of major appliances, and turning out unneeded lights. Every MW counts.
Tragic day for America — and the world. Oblivious to science and our common future, the dinosaurs of coal and their compliant stooge,
@Sen_JoeManchin
, have now torpedoed an absolutely vital climate initiative. Insane and criminal.
Breaking News: Senator Joe Manchin said he wouldn’t support funding for climate programs or raising taxes on the wealthy, a major blow for the Biden agenda.
Watch out for this belated April Fools' Day trick. This cynical and meretricious abuse of power will poison our air and jeopardize the health of all Americans.
Under questioning from Sen. Harris, Judge Barrett says that COVID is infectious, smoking causes cancer, but climate change is a "very contentious" matter and she will not express a view on it.
3,000 workers in California are building the only high-speed rail in North America. The Chinese have already built 18,000 miles. As the 5th largest economy in the world, let’s keep going!
George Deukmejian was a popular governor and made friends across the political aisle. Anne and I join all Californians in expressing our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
