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.

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.

What’s happening in LA isn’t about safety — it’s fearmongering. Immigrants are part of the fabric of our great state. CA stands with our immigrant communities & is taking action to protect them. Stay peaceful. Don’t give Trump what he wants. Our strength is in unity, not chaos.

Release the files.

Nearly 250 years ago, our founders imagined a nation rooted in liberty, justice & democracy. Today, those ideals are under threat, but the spirit of 1776 lives on in every American who shows up & speaks out. This Fourth of July, let’s celebrate our freedom — and fight to protect it 🇺🇸

Eleni’s Book Club is officially underway 📚 I’ve always loved reading and the way books bring people together and spark meaningful conversations. For our first video, I’m starting with 107 Days by VP @kamalaharris.com — a powerful and inspiring reflection on leadership at a pivotal moment.

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.

JD Vance rolled into California, shut out our local press, and showed us exactly who he is: out of touch, disrespectful, and proudly racist. Calling U.S. Senator ALEX Padilla “Jose” wasn’t a mistake—it was a message. And Californians see right through it.

First Colbert. Now Kimmel. Who’s next? Ben Rhodes is exactly right about Trump creating an environment where people start to self-censor. It is right out of Viktor Orban‘s playbook which, as Ben, notes, Trump & his administration have studied. The fight to speak the truth is far from over.

For this month’s book club, I read Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social’s autobiography, Young Man in a Hurry. The book offers an insightful look at his life, with a detailed first-person account of the challenges he faced. I highly recommend it and look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts on it.

The American people have EYES. We could see gas prices under $3 before Trump, and we can see them now over $4 and rising while he retreats into a White House ballroom project. A BALLROOM. People are struggling to eat and he’s picking out chandeliers. #TrumpsGasCrisis
