Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

I've never forgotten where I came from.

And I've never stopped fighting for the families who are still working toward the California Dream.

That's why I'm running for Governor.

A 16-year-old Latina girl from Chicago mailed her application to MIT.

Her name was Sabrina González Pasterski....

On merit alone, she should have been impossible to ignore. At 14, she had built a working single-engine airplane in her family’s garage—documenting every step, from assembly to flight. She passed inspection and flew it herself. She came from public schools, a first-generation Cuban-American with no elite pipeline or connections.

She understood the unspoken rule: girls like her had to be exceptional just to be considered.

She was.

MIT still waitlisted her.

It hit hard. MIT had been the goal she built everything around. Being told “not yet” felt like being told “not you.” But then two MIT professors came across her airplane video. They watched a teenager design, build, and fly her own aircraft—and immediately recognized something rare.

They pushed her case forward.

MIT reconsidered.

She got in.

She didn’t forget that moment. Instead, she used it as fuel. At MIT, she didn’t just succeed—she redefined what success looked like. She became the first woman to win the prestigious Orloff Scholarship, graduated in just three years with a perfect 5.00 GPA, and became the first woman in two decades to graduate at the top of MIT Physics.

Her research moved just as fast. Her first paper was accepted within 24 hours—something almost unheard of in theoretical physics. Opportunities followed. NASA showed interest. Jeff Bezos personally offered her a role at Blue Origin.

She declined.

She chose to pursue deeper questions instead, heading to Harvard for a PhD in physics. There, she focused on black holes, quantum gravity, and the structure of spacetime. At just 25, her work was cited by Stephen Hawking—a rare acknowledgment from one of the most respected minds in science.

But her story isn’t just about intelligence.

It’s about navigating a space where people like her are often underrepresented. She had seen the imbalance early—few girls in advanced physics, even fewer from her background. Instead of stepping back, she stepped forward.

She kept her focus narrow and intentional. No social media presence, no distractions—just her work. She maintained a simple website, sharing research rather than chasing attention. When people compared her to Einstein, she rejected it, insisting she was still learning.

After completing her PhD, again with top performance, she continued her work at leading research institutions. Today, she contributes to some of the most complex problems in physics, exploring how the universe fundamentally works.

And as she does, she quietly expands what feels possible for others.

Sabrina González Pasterski’s story isn’t just about brilliance. It’s about persistence, identity, and refusing to shrink to fit expectations. MIT hesitated.

She gave them a second chance to see clearly.

And then she went on to prove exactly who she was.

Today, California celebrates Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong, a trailblazer during one of the most pivotal movements for farmworker rights in U.S. history.

His commitment to unity and social justice continues to inspire Californians today.

[Rob Bonta @AGRobBonta]

Happy #LarryItliongDay!

At a time when farm workers and immigrants were denied basic rights, Larry Itliong refused to accept the unacceptable, took a stand, and worked to advance justice.

Today and every day, we can honor his legacy by continuing the fight for justice and standing up for the rights of all.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.
