I don't want to even report on this story because it makes me sick to my stomach and so angry that I want to storm the court room and enact justice myself. I know that God will be the ultimate Judge, but I am so saddened by this fallen world. Lord, help us.

NEW: Prosecutor appears to suggest there is DNA evidence that 7-year-old Athena Strand, who was killed by a FedEx driver, was s*xually assaulted by him. Tanner Horner is accused of abducting the girl from her home before strangling her to her death. "We have DNA. Not only do we have initial DNA from Athena that has Tanner Horner's... We also have Tanner Horner's DNA in places where you shouldn't find DNA on a seven-year-old girl." Athena tried her best to fight off Horner. His DNA was allegedly found under her fingernails. Horrific.

California currently has a flat 8.84% corporate tax. Whether a company makes $100 or $1 billion in profit, the rate is the same.
It’s time for a tax code that recognizes the difference between a local shop and a global giant.

If there was any doubt what this race is about, now it's certain: It's California values against MAGA.
I'm running because voters are tired of the same old political games when the stakes are so much higher. They deserve a governor they can trust to fight for regular people, not just push policy agendas that only benefit corporate interests and the richest of the rich.
I'm the only leading Democrat in this race who's never taken corporate PAC money or profited off corporate greed, and I've taken on Trump and his cronies and won.

President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Republican Steve Hilton for California governor, potentially shaking up the race to replace Gavin Newsom. cnn.it/41hmams

@CAgovernor Great. $30 billion so that five people can have mediocre internet by 2035.

In 2021, the January 6th riot caused $1–2 billion in property damage—the costliest civil unrest in U.S. history—across over 140 cities from arson, looting, and vandalism.
At least 19–25 people died in related violence, including shootings and incidents amid the chaos.
Republicans want you to forget.

Who would you like to see go down first, Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell?

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California's state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. This would mean it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.

@BernieSanders But what right do you have to take money from one person and give it to someone else?

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.
If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.
Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share

@SenAdamSchiff Almost as frustrating as all the tax money wasted in California. How much did California families have to chip in for the high speed rail? Or homelessness? Or all the fraud?

Trump says he needs another $200,000,000,000 for his war.
Not for health care. Not for housing. Not for education.
Instead, he's asking every family to chip in $1,400 to keep bombing Iran.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, recently paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%.
That is less than the average truck driver, nurse and teacher.
YES, we must demand the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Universal health care access.
$25 minimum wage for health care workers.
$20 minimum wage for fast food workers.
Free childcare — and an entirely new grade that saves families $20k+ / year.
Free community college.
$11 insulin manufactured by the state.
Largest state tax rebate in American history.
All while growing our economy to become the 4th largest in the WORLD.
California defies the punditry of haters all the time. We’re focused on delivering results. And we’re not done yet.

Donald Trump knows he's going to get shellacked in the midterms. That's why he's rigging everything in sight. We have to win back the House or we may not have a free and fair election in 2028.

For the umpteenth time Democrats said YES to funding TSA — no conditions, just YES — and Senate Republicans tried to go along, and TRUMP SAID NO.

Q: Points at Schumer “Can YOU find yours?”

Democrats have offered to pay the salaries — fully fund, no conditions — for TSA.
It’s Republicans who keep blocking that.

@GavinNewsom Not enough for California’s high speed rail, though.

$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO:
- Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education.
- Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years.
- Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need.
- Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500.
Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war.
This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.
