Trump’s greatest hits: lies, flip-flops, and gaslighting

U.S. Senator @padilla.senate.gov was put in handcuffs for simply asking a question. That’s not law & order — that’s authoritarianism. If this can happen to a U.S. Senator, I don’t even want to imagine what this means for everyday Americans.

Today is Election Day, California! From my two decades delivering housing to middle class families, serving as President Obama’s Ambassador overseas to nearly 8 years as Lt. Governor, I have the experience and proven record necessary to serve as a Treasurer Californians can trust.

Release the files.

CA, I just opened my mail-in ballot to vote YES on Prop 50! This special election is our chance to restore power to the people, with fair, transparent maps that sunset in 2030. Vote early, by mail, or on Election Day — but make sure you vote YES on 50! Let’s do this, CA!   #YesOnCA50 #CAStrong

CA is worth fighting for. As State Treasurer, I’ll protect our values, invest in our future, and make sure not one CA dollar supports Trump’s hateful agenda. Proud to have the support of Governor Newsom, Senator Padilla, teachers, firefighters, and Californians across our state. Watch & share ⬇️

CA stands in solidarity with Central TX after this weekend’s catastrophic flooding — one of the deadliest in the U.S. in decades, claiming at least 89 lives. We’re especially holding close the families mourning the young lives tragically lost at Camp Mystic, and those still searching for loved ones.

CA didn’t start this redistricting fight, but we refuse to sit it out. We will not let partisan maps silence communities, erase representation, or rig democracy. Republicans are trying to lock in minority rule by drawing lines to drown out voices. Not here. Not now. Not ever. #VoteYESonProp50

California, we are one day away from Election Day! Your ballot must be postmarked by Election Day, so today is a great day to drop it in the mailbox or return to it to a vote center. In order for democracy to work, we all need to participate, so be sure to go to vote.ca.gov to make your plan.

I saw the authoritarian playbook up close as Ambassador to Hungary. Viktor Orbán was calculated. Trump is reckless — tanking the economy, targeting workers & going after California, the state that gives America its biggest paycheck. His power games are hurting lives & livelihoods for Americans.

Ships and boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla are continuing their attempts to break the naval blockade on Gaza, just weeks after the latest attempt was intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters off Greece.

How can you tell how old that white pine tree is — and how can that reveal some mysteries about a forest’s history? NOTE: some of the southern pines, like loblolly pine, are “multinodal” — capable of producing more than one whorl of branches per year. #forest #trees #nature #science #history

To combat gerrymandering, fight fire with fire. The Virginia Supreme Court struck down the citizen initiative for a new Congressional map. The legislature can fight back. Here I describe Quinn Yeargin's idea to use the state constitution to retire that court:

Anger lies. It tells you things are bigger than they are. A late text feels like contempt. A tone feels like an attack. Ask one question when heated. "Will this matter in 7 days?" Most of the time, no. Peer support, not therapy. Call 988 in crisis. #angermanagement #peersupport

Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.

Don’t let these MAGA influencers lie to you or distract you. President Trump’s big ugly bill is taking healthcare away from millions while he uses his DOJ to target his enemies. We see MAGA influencers and politicians will justify anything Trump does to stay in the good graces of Dear Leader.

No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.

Booker: Troops uphold their oath—Congress isn’t. He called out the "do nothing Senate" as a U.S. military unit was left unprepared, and Senate leadership failed to act or investigate. #USPolitics #Military @democrats.senate.gov
