🇺🇸🤠Giddy up!

JUST IN: Republican CA members of Congress send Gov. Newsom letter against oil/gas proposal: “Your recent proposal to force refineries to withhold supply from the market shows that you and your Admin are more interested in political gimmicks than solving real-world issues.”

@CBakerAD16 @gjandrews @UofCalifornia 👏🏼👏🏼they got the best of the best!!

Some personal news to share: The Student and Policy Center Sacramento is a unique and exciting part of @UofCalifornia’s public service to California. I’m thrilled to join the Center as Director, and I can’t wait to get to work. universityofcalifornia.edu/news/catharine…

I’m so thankful to have been part of #teamnestande. My heart goes out to his family and all who had the privilege to know him. Love you, Boss. I will miss you. I’m grateful for you.

We lost a truly great leader with the passing of @BrianNestande. He was my mentor, my champion, my dear friend. The outpouring of love by all who knew him underscores his legacy. I owe so much to him. 1/2

An incredible group of intelligent and passionate women! Happy International Women’s Day from the Senate & Assembly Republican Legislators & staff! 👩🏼‍💼👩🏽‍💼👩🏻‍💼👩🏾‍💼

@BuffyWicks Awesome move on multiple fronts!

As I kick off my new chairmanship today, I’m THRILLED to welcome Steve Wertheim to my staff as a senior adviser. He was my right-hand man on all things AB 2011 – now, he’s bringing that land use expertise to help inform my housing and climate package. Let’s do this, Steve! 💪

We can unite to save youth football, however our members remain divided on this Saturday’s @NFL @49ers V. @packers game. BANG BANG!

California is trying to ban tackle football for kids under 12. This is getting out of hand 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you support freedom of choice for your kids sports & want to help stop unwarranted government over-each, please share & attend in-person to help us Save Youth 🏈! @ABC10 @kcranews @nbcbayarea @FOX40 @chriscfore @cayfalliance @AYF @Pop_Warner

Current End of Session vibes….🕰️🏛️

Republicans in the CA Assembly using Taylor Swift lines in their opposition charter school bill AB 1604. @gregrwallis closes with "this is why we can't have nice things," while @joshua_hoover says "when you are young they assume you know nothing..."

Did you know @Patterdude is on twitter?

Have you ever seen members so happy during End of Session?! LET’S GOOOO!! 🍕🥳🇺🇸

Robert Saleh's brother was working in the South Tower on 9/11 and survived the attack. But it made Saleh rethink his life. So he quit his 9-5 job and got into coaching. And 22 years later, on 9/11, he'll open the season on MNF as the New York Jets head coach. That's poetic.

The People’s House

I am glad to see the Assembly Public Safety Committee did the right thing and finally advanced a bill that made sexually trafficking a child a serious and violent crime. I’m disappointed to see that it had to be FORCED out only because Leadership got involved and the issue went public. It doesn’t matter what party, race, or gender; it’s simply a fight between good vs. evil. Either you support children or you support pimps. I support kids!

JUST IN: Democrats in the Assembly move to hold hearing immediately after session to hear child sex trafficking bill SB 14. Republicans counter with motion to immediately bring the bill to the floor
