Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Thank you @MilkenInstitute for our insightful conversation about the fire, recovery, risk, and insurance. Appreciated the thoughtful questions and discussion! We have to learn from the fires and rebuild in a way that better incorporates the best fire science.

Always love getting to put my professor hat on! Great engaging with Santa Monica College students to discuss some of the heavier policy issues we're addressing as a state, from gerrymandering to budget issues to the bill process!

For two excruciating years, I have called for the return of the hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza. Today is a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally home and reuniting with loved ones. I'm thinking of them and their families on this joyful day
Hamas released all 20 remaining living hostages held in Gaza on Monday, as part of a cease-fire pausing two years of war that saw Israelis kill thousands of Palestians.
