I just signed bipartisan laws to lower Californians' electricity costs, stabilize our gas supply, and provide a stable funding source for @CaHSRA's high-speed rail. Millions of Californians will soon start saving billions on their energy costs, and the savings don’t stop there.

No matter how much Trump lies, he can’t escape the truth: Earth’s atmosphere, upon which all living creatures depend, is heating up — and dangerously. Today, California boldly confronts this reality and extends our world-leading cap-and-invest program. Science over crass

Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump.

@elonmusk You obviously didn’t read the article which cited farmers who are upset with him, emptying a reservoir in the middle of winter when that water is supposed to be saved until summer for irrigating farms. None of that water is flowing south towards the LA basin.
