California’s inclusivity and acceptance attracts new talent and ideas that drive our economic growth. Disney is making major investments in California, keeping jobs here and planning for the future of the @Disneyland Resort. It was great celebrating love at their first ever Pride night.
Dianne Feinstein was many things – a powerful, trailblazing U.S. Senator; an early voice for gun control; a leader in times of tragedy and chaos. But to me, she was a dear friend, a lifelong mentor, and a role model not only for me, but to my wife and daughters for what a powerful, effective leader looks like. She was a political giant, whose tenacity was matched by her grace. She broke down barriers and glass ceilings, but never lost her belief in the spirit of political cooperation. And she was a fighter — for the city, the state and the country she loved. Every race she won, she made history, but her story wasn’t just about being the first woman in a particular political office, it was what she did for California, and for America, with that power once she earned it. That’s what she should be remembered for. There is simply nobody who possessed the strength, gravitas, and fierceness of Dianne Feinstein. @jennifersiebelnewsom and I are deeply saddened by her passing, and we will mourn with her family in this difficult time.
It’s time to end the carnage that America’s gun violence has inflicted on our nation.
No president in modern American history has been more effective in two years than President @joebiden. A historically low unemployment rate. 12 million jobs created. More people with health insurance. Massive infrastructure investments across the nation. Strengthened protections for the LGBTQ community. Aggressive action to mitigate climate change. Meaningful gun violence prevention legislation. The list goes on. Today, America is facing a threat to our democracy. Authoritarian leaders in state after state are dismantling our core freedoms right before our eyes. There’s no one better to lead the fight for America than President Joe Biden. Looking forward to another four years of his historic leadership.
15 years later – marrying you is still the best decision I’ve ever made. Here’s to the next 15 and more. Love you, Jen. Happy Anniversary.
Book bans are at a record high — there have been over 1,200 challenges in the last year, nearly double the (then-record) total from 2021. Couldn’t leave Boise without dropping by this incredible bookstore. The owners of Rediscovered Books are doing everything they can to push back against these insane bans happening across the country.
Another trip around the sun with you. Jen, your strength, your tenacity, and your grit are felt by all around you. We love you endlessly. Happy Birthday!
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Miss you.
Some parts of Southern California could receive A YEAR’s worth of rain and extreme wind is expected across the state as Hurricane Hilary reaches CA. The state is mobilizing and has prepositioned resources to keep Californians safer. Those in its path are urged prepare now — here are 5 ways.
Our kids are dying and Republican leaders are doing nothing about it.
Happy Mother’s Day to this superhero mom.

We see this in you day in & day out. We love you, Jen.

Take a moment to watch this. Here’s what’s happening New College in Florida — ground zero for what the GOP are trying to do to education in this country.
The GOP want you to be silent as they roll back the rights Americans have fought so hard for. They want you to be silent as they ban books but promote AR-15s. They want you to be silent as they label American history as an “agenda.” Don’t be.
Celebrating Earth Day cleaning up a creek at a farm, then showcasing the incredible work my wife @jennifersiebelnewsom is doing to expand California’s farm to school program. Through this program, we’re connecting local farmers and food to students while creating a more sustainable food system and getting kids healthier meals at school.

On Memorial Day and always, we honor the service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us hold these brave souls in our hearts and pay our respects to the families who mourn their loss.
The story of the Jewish people is one of faith, resilience, and perseverance in the face of prejudice and persecution — and Holocaust Survivor Martha Sternbach is that story personified. Martha was sent to Auschwitz as a teenager and forced into slave labor. She is the only person in her family to survive. Now, she is a regular speaker at the Museum of Tolerance, educating people in hopes that future generations will see how hateful rhetoric can destroy the world. This Jewish Heritage Month, we celebrate the 1.2 million Jews who call California home and remember that we all have a responsibility to stand up against antisemitism.
Last April in Jackson, Mississippi, I was able to visit the Emmett Till exhibit with the Mayor and his family. Nothing would prepare me for the faces of my children as we walked through the exhibit: passing images of Emmett’s horrific mutilation, photographs of his mother weeping over his unrecognizable body, and seeing the bullet-ridden sign that once stood to mark where his body was found. As my 7, 10, 12, and 13-year-olds learned about what happened to 14-year-old Emmett, I learned why every child must learn this history, too. Children like mine will never have to experience the depths of dehumanization and racial violence that Emmett, his family, and Black Americans continue to experience today. There are too many leaders in our country right now who want to brush this — and so many other horrific pieces of our history — under the rug. @POTUS’ establishment of this national monument is an important step toward healing and a visual reminder to us all that we cannot turn our backs and deny or rewrite our past. Our nation must fully understand the impacts of our history on the present day to be able to heal and progress. Today is a step toward that. The truth stands tall — just as the life and legacy of Emmett Till always will.
