Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW
California’s affordability crisis is real and we have to tackle it head on. That means building more housing, protecting health care, and keeping costs down for working families.
As governor, I’ll keep California moving forward — affordable, healthy, and open to everyone chasing the California Dream.

Can we work on getting him some followers…
Californians need to hear what @XavierBecerra has to say about improving our state.
As my daughter would say, “He’s got mad skills!” ✊🏼

At yesterday’s LULAC Gubernatorial Forum, I made one thing clear: when civil rights are under attack, I fight back.
No candidate has fought and won against Trump like I have.
I protected Californians of every background as Attorney General, and I will do it again as Governor.
Very proud to share our new ad. It's launching today as part of a seven-figure statewide media buy.
The Governor’s Office is no place for on-the-job training. California needs an experienced fighter.
I'm ready to fight. Ready to win.
Taking a serious look today at this man.
Former HHS secretary, AG of California.
Not a lot of drama. But no drama sounds pretty good about now.

Excellent candidate. He called me after my husband passed and it was a genuine conversation. Not a formula condolence. I'll never forget his kindness. I'm going to a couple of sources within the party today to see what the numbers and public sentiment are cooking up. This is a do or die situation.
I’ve been checking out Xavier Becerra… and I like what I’m hearing.
Serious experience. Solid on the issues. Not just talk. And he’s hitting the issues the right way. Feels like someone who actually understands what California needs.
Let’s keep eyes on him together.
@MedicareGov I have ALS & a feeding tube. I’m out of formula that I need to survive and you’re telling me I need to do a swallow study to prove I need nutrition via enteral formula. The study will cause me to choke. I don’t have a feeding tube for fun. How is this right? @CMAorg
