"Embracing CA’s values of inclusivity, generosity & community – & understanding that our fates are intertwined – is critical as every Californian faces the unprecedented crisis posed by #COVID19."

CA is issuing a statewide, mandatory STAY AT HOME order.
Those that work in critical sectors should go to work. Grocery stores, pharmacies, banks and more will stay open.
We need to meet this moment and flatten the curve together.

Thank you --
To our doctors.
To our nurses.
To ALL our healthcare workers out there.
You’re on the front lines in a whole new way these days.
Eternally grateful for your service.
In San Francisco this morning for a listening roundtable at @PPICNotes. As chair of the @CAgovernor’s task force on Alzheimer’s Prevention & Preparedness and A Path Forward, I’m committed to convening and hearing from all of those on the frontlines of this disease. #Alzheimers
Why is Trump scared of CA?
-$21.5 billion surplus
-Record low unemployment
-Creating 1 in 7 US jobs
Meanwhile Trump:
-DOUBLED the deficit
-Created over $3 TRILLION new debt
We’re the progressive answer to his regressive policies.
It’s driving him MAD.
Budgets are statements of values.
Here are Trump’s:
Cut Medicare by $800B.
Cut Medicaid by $920B.
Cut food stamps by $181B.
Cut education by 8%.
Cut EPA by 26%.
Cut housing by 15%.
He made sure to secure $2 billion for his border wall, though. https://t.co/4Q9qgvarkc
“The minimum that voters can do is ensure that students attend schools that are safe and modern, reflecting California’s commitment to education, perhaps the state’s most important investment.” https://t.co/3V9av52Khp #Prop13SchoolBond#SafeSchoolsHealthyLearning
Chlorpyrifos is a pesticide that literally causes brain damage for kids.
The Trump administration refused to ban it. So, CA did.
Now, the pesticide’s top supplier announced it will stop making the chemical -- citing reduced demand.

It shouldn’t be our children’s job to clean up the mess made by previous generations. They’re inheriting the worst effects of climate change. We must act. NOW. https://t.co/Ljzw3avz5E
Trump's proposed cuts to food stamps would affect:
- 400,000 people in Texas
- 328,000 in Florida
- 225,000 in Pennsylvania
- 176,000 in Washington State
- 165,000 in Michigan
- 118,000 in Wisconsin
- 97,000 in Georgia
Pass it on.
Trump‘s abusing the powers of his office to target political opponents. But it doesn’t end with Ukraine.
Demanding civil servants focus on “political errands”.
Holding aid hostage.
Political interference in investigations.
It’s all happening — to CA.

“This budget assessment points to a broader truth. CA is now the fifth-largest economy in the world. Our state is proving what big-hearted, progressive governance can look like – all without breaking the bank." - @GavinNewsom#CaliforniaForAll https://t.co/GiXBnIfJOs
