What a horrific thing for our commander in chief to say about people who sacrificed their lives for our country.

Great day at the Davis Joint Unified School District. We provided millions in grants used by the district to lead amazing work such as establishing transitional kindergarten classes and aftercare centers, and a robotics training facility for their award winning robotics team.

Thanks to our food distribution center staff in Sacramento and Pomona. Truck drivers & warehouse workers delivering for every district - 800 million meals served last school year. Proud to visit the Sacramento Center today and to sponsor CA’s universal school meals legislation.

Great day with the students, parents, and staff at the Salinas Union High School District. Welcoming in a new school year and complementing their great work in Community Schools and CTE programs.

I have been enthralled with a now six-part saga on Instagram of a parents group chat in which one Mom is asking the other Moms not to send Oreos in their kids’ lunches because she doesn’t allow her daughter to eat Oreos. It’s incredible. instagram.com/reel/DcMjhWyzF…

Great day visiting at Tracy Elementary in the Baldwin Park Unified School District. The District took the grants we provided for coaches and training and made great gains in literacy. Well done!

Farm workers built California’s $50 billion agricultural sector. They deserve overtime pay. I helped pass farm worker overtime protections in 2016, and I’m not about to let anyone roll them back now. Fair days pay for fair days work. Standing with farm workers. Standing with the UFW.

D.L. Hughley on Iran: “All for nothing. The lives lost, cache lost, billions of dollars lost. If this is his victory, what the fuck does a loss look like? America used to have peace through strength. Now it’s weakness through stupidity”

My wife’s name is @Ally_Sammarco. Obviously you know that, but she’s not named anonymous. And she also went on the record with CNN so that hopefully this did not happen to other women and maybe it would help other women come forward. She also provided CNN all of the messages that you sent her. I’ve been very supportive of you over the years but even I learned a lot today. And she has my full support.

"The accuser has a right to make her claim." @ericswalwell, were those just words to you?
Eric Swalwell has taken a page out of the Trump playbook by attempting to silence women. Today we learned he is intimidating survivors, serving cease and desist letters on those coming forward with stories of sexual harassment and abuse. He sent this threat in the dead of night — another attempt to delay the truth. Deny the allegations. Question the women's motives. Suggest a conspiracy. This is what it looks like when powerful men get caught. These cease and desists are a disgusting abuse of power against brave women who are courageously working together to share their stories. It begs the question: if Swalwell has done nothing wrong, as his campaign claims, why not let the women tell their stories in the light of day? Our team remains steadfast. We will not relent. The women will not recant. They continue to work with legal support to protect themselves while sharing their accounts of Swalwell's pattern of predatory behavior and abuse. I am impatient. The women are impatient. But we trust this process. Their stories will be out soon.

Don’t let a billionaire buy the CA Governorship. He’s drowning out the most qualified candidates voices from this race, all who happen to be candidates of color. That’s not what an actual progressive would do. #teamtony
It’s tax season. While we were all digging through receipts, Tom Steyer only paid 14% in taxes on $39 million of passive income. He’s spent $100 million trying to buy this governor’s race, but California’s not for sale.

We had a great meeting with some of the top leaders on housing in the state. I am promoting a California plan that would create 2 million housing units by utilizing the surplus property owned by school districts in every county of the state. This housing could help many including educators, nurses, firefighters, and working families. School districts need some predevelopment and technical assistance funding to complete the effort so we are looking for public and private dollars to support the work. Get in touch if you wish to support this effort.

Replying to @GiveDirectly
@GiveDirectly has sent $1 billion in cash directly to people in extreme poverty. Their model has no middle man and study after study shows it works. Any billionaire could call them tomorrow and help pull an entire country out of poverty. For some, it would cost about a year in the stock market. I’m honestly baffled: why is there not a single billionaire who just makes the call to @NickAllardice, GiveDirectly’s CEO? Instead, they fund vanity projects and call it philanthropy. The solutions exist but the ambition is pointed in the wrong direction.

Earlier this week I was honored to host and recognize 11 California students who have written books. We organized this effort amd a live how to webinar as part of our strengthen literacy effort and invited experts who can help other students strengthen their writing. The students attend grades 5 through 12 and they were articulate, well written, and inspiring. Proud of our students, their educators, and their families.

The total amount this man will steal from us—remembering that he just stole $10 billion for his private Board of Peace—will easily top $100 billion by the end, and possibly $500 billion
