Today, I convened California’s top emergency response officials to prepare and protect at-risk communities for the upcoming red flag conditions throughout the state. We will continue using every tool at our disposal to keep Californians safe.

California continues to lead. Many of our innovative efforts to fight benefit theft, including the implementation of chip-and-tap EBT cards, will soon become the model for the nation. More from USDA: fna.usda.gov/snap/fr-102326. More on CA efforts: bit.ly/3UiStBF.

I've signed an executive order to continue the progress we've made against crime in California into the next governor's administration. This interagency effort will give recommendations for maintaining and strengthening our proven public safety strategies and investments.

With historic drops in crime across California, we're doubling down on our proven California Model — both accountability and rehabilitation. At Corcoran State Prison, we're introducing a new staff-led housing community to better prepare individuals to return to their community.

🌧️ ¿Sabías que todos los condados en California han recibido una declaración de emergencia relacionada con inundaciones en los últimos 20 años? Las inundaciones pueden ocurrir en cualquier momento. Debido a que se pronostica el fenómeno de El Niño para este invierno, es fundamental prepararse desde ahora. ✅ Conoce tu riesgo: Mantente al tanto del pronóstico del tiempo y las alertas locales. Confirma si vives en una zona propensa a inundaciones o incendios forestales. 🎒 Prepárate: Ten listo un kit de emergencia, planifica las rutas de evacuación y asegúrate de incluir a tus mascotas en tu plan. 🚨 Actúa: Sigue las instrucciones de las autoridades locales y evacúa cuando te lo indiquen. ¡Nunca conduzcas por aguas de inundación!

Did you know every California county has received a flood-related emergency declaration in the past 20 years? Flooding can happen anywhere in California, at any time. With a strong El Niño anticipated this winter, preparing now is critical. ✅ Know your risk: Monitor weather forecasts and local alerts. Know if you live in a floodplain or near a burn scar. 🎒 Be prepared: Keep an emergency kit ready, plan evacuation routes, and account for pets. 🚨 Take action: Follow local officials’ instructions and evacuate when ordered. Never drive through floodwaters! Stay informed at Weather.gov. For more information, visit wp.me/pgM8my-12DX

California is continuing our prep work for El Niño's arrival and the dangerous flooding those storms might trigger over the next few months. Now is the time to look up your local flood risk, sign up for alerts, and make an emergency plan. washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

We're positioning millions of sandbags, inspecting levees, and making sure our communities have the support they need. I'm encouraging Californians across the state to get ready, too ⬇️ gov.ca.gov/2026/10/21/govern…

Donald Trump's FEMA has a message to Americans during hurricane season and ahead of a historic El Niño: DROP DEAD.

Any credible allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and investigated.    That being said, the action by Trump’s DOJ — charging just 28 individuals — suggests they have no evidence to back up their claims just last week of TENS or HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of illegally registered voters. Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters. If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.

California's September revenue came in at a whopping $2.9 BILLION above forecasts. As our economy continues to grow, we will keep betting on the future being built right here in the Golden State.

Kern County’s Mojave Micro Mill will be California’s first new steel mill in more than 50 years. Through a kickstart of $30M in tax credit through California Competes state funding, this new mill will commit over $540M in capital investments and nearly 450 new jobs over its first 5 years of operation. We’re proudly bringing good-paying jobs to communities up and down the entire state, expanding steel manufacturing, and cutting emissions all at the same time.

A college degree shouldn't be the only path to a well-paying career. My administration is helping make that a reality with investing in people — training 49,000+ new apprentices across California in skilled trades and fields like healthcare, education, and tech.

The Trump Administration kept thousands of sailors and Marines aboard the USS Lincoln for months past their scheduled return. When they finally returned to California, we provided the sailors and their families with mental health services and support — and expanded resources statewide. The contrast in character couldn't be more clear.
