.@AsmRepublicans affordability plan: Do nothing as Trump guts healthcare for corporate tax breaks.
Our plan: Fight back, protect Medi-Cal, keep food on the table, invest in housing, lower taxes for small businesses & ensure billionaire corporations can't zero out their tax bill.
This is how @AssemblyDems make California "more affordable."
Tax software, tax health plans & raise billions in new revenue for a state government that already spends $355 billion a year.
Healthcare advocates on Friday celebrated the budget compromise between the California Assembly and Senate, after seeing many cuts they’d worked against for much of the year delayed.

California, home to cultures from every corner of the world, is ready to celebrate the FIFA World Cup as well as the power of sport, community, and competition.
Good luck to all the teams competing. Let the games begin! ⚽🌎
Reminder to those who come after California’s people: to get to them, you must get through us. And you WILL be held responsible for your cruelty. Assembly Democrats will always stand with immigrants.
Assembly Democrats begin the day by standing up to Trump’s lawless ICE mercenaries who have terrorized Californians for months. We oppose any attempt by Trump to dehumanize those in search of the American Dream, and we honor immigrant contributions to our California way of life.
Last week Trump took $1.3 billion from California’s most vulnerable. This week he’s giving $1.8 Billion dollars of taxpayer money to his friends.

Unlike Trump's America, voting rights matter in California. Assembly Democrats stand with all marginalized voices risking everything for the right to have their voice heard.
I urge all LA residents to heed evacuation orders and follow the directions of emergency officials. Protect your family and loved ones, do what is advised. Firefighters and first responders are battling the dangerous and unpredictable #PalisadesFire#EatonFire, and California will be there to support evacuation and recovery efforts. Stay safe, remain vigilant, be prepared.
Today, we honor the remarkable life of President Jimmy Carter—a leader dedicated to peace, human rights, and public service. His legacy will forever inspire us.
Today it was a great honor to be elected by my colleagues to serve another term as Speaker of the California Assembly.
Our task this session is urgent and clear: We must chart a new path forward and renew the California Dream by focusing on affordability.
California will always be a place of opportunity. But that opportunity must shine equally for everyone in every corner of this great state.
Over the next two years, we must do everything in our power — collectively — to renew the California Dream. Millions of Californians have put their faith in us. Let’s get it done. Let’s get to work.
.@potus has my deepest gratitude for his selfless leadership and the incredible progress he’s made for America. We are forever indebted to him for beating @realDonaldTrump in 2020, and for laying the foundation to beat him again in 2024. Thank you, Mr. President.
The Assembly fought hard to protect the public services that matter most to Californians, and we are delivering a budget that prioritizes affordability and long-term stability. 🧵
Under my leadership, the Assembly will continue to work to uplift all residents of our state. See my full statement on the Legislature v Weber opinion below:
Residents have spoken loud and clear: They want to feel safe. We are saying enough is enough on organized retail theft. Now that the Assembly has taken action, I expect the Senate to move quickly and send these bills to the Governor for signature.
My Assembly colleagues, Budget Chair @AsmJesseGabriel and I will continue to fight to protect core programs for California’s most vulnerable residents and essential classroom funding. Here is our joint statement in response to the Governor’s “May Revision” budget proposal:
