Spend a day in my shoes as a rural doctor before claiming you know how to save healthcare for rural areas. When a rural hospital shuts down that impacts everyone’s healthcare access.

Being kind, consistent, and sincere is always worth more than whatever political identities people hold. I try to remember that.

A newly elected Republican in the California Assembly approached me on the floor last week and told me a Congressman in his party, that previously served with me, really valued our relationship and encouraged him to get to know me.

Today we have cancelled all of our Grammy-related events, including the Artist Showcase and After-Grammy Party and will redirect the resources that would have been used for those events to assist those affected by the wildfires.

Palm Springs to DC direct! Can’t wait to take it!

Good news for Los Angeles

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

We are lucky to have you @Sam_Mahood

I spoke with @BretBaier about my essay, “The Perils of Isolationism,” and why isolationism has never been the answer to the United States’ security or prosperity. The world still needs America — and America still needs the world. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

Thank you Assemblyman @gregrwallis !

Thank you @AsmJamesRamos !

1. Why are you silent on the crazy money printing that inflated home prices? 2. When you propose capping rents, why do you express wonder that homebuilders don’t want to build homes? 3. How will you guarantee your government subsidy won’t just drive up costs proportionally?

@JeremyBWhite My baby is cuter than your baby.

I'll be honest here, my resolve to not put the baby on social media is really being tested by my firm belief that she's the cutest baby to ever live and the world should know it

Everyone (including Dems) should celebrate #SCOTUS overturning “Chevron Deference” under which the power of the Executive Branch grew & grew. Our Founding Fathers feared a too-powerful executive. Yet mission creep made it so, since the 1930s. My thoughts, still relevant: amp.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Embarrassing. So sad.

Very pleased to honor and recognize two life sciences champions and leaders: Senator Monique Limon and Assemblymember Chris Ward! CLS’ 2024 Legislators of the Year! Thank you for supporting innovation and patients through your policy leadership. @ChrisWardCA @MoniqueLimonCA

As one of the many doubly-disenfranchised, this debate demonstrates why being doubly-disenfranchised is entirely understandable. #debate #DebateNight

Brutal
