@KarenBassLA
today. The big hit (besides the VP) was her homemade banana muffins. Warm and delicious. Wow! 😋
I am with you
@JoeBiden
- I endorse
@KamalaHarris
as our Democratic nominee & will work tirelessly to make sure she is elected our next President in November.
Thank you Mr. President for your lifetime of service to this country & the American people.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best
Omg. Biden talking about his son Beau who served in the military (and later died) and Trump interrupts to insult his other son. What a disgrace. And Wallace just allowing this bullshit.
Was unable to make it to Oakland, but proud to reaffirm my endorsement of California’s own
@KamalaHarris
for president! She is the tough, determined progressive we need right now to not only defeat Trump but mobilize a movement of people behind a big-hearted vision of change.
Says the guy who couldn’t make it to 270 days as Speaker of the House, the shortest in more the 140 years. Maybe not the guy to be talking about not making it to the end. Even Mike Johnson is going to beat this guys tenure as Speaker. 🤦🏽♀️
McCarthy: I have known the VP for long time. She always starts strong in a campaign, even for her presidential campaign. 40,000 people in Oakland. But then she couldn't make it to Iowa, even for her Senate race, even for her Attorney General race
Good job calling out the lies. It is Republicans who refused to fund the President’s border supplemental to combat fentanyl at the southern border, combat human trafficking, buy more beds and hire more agents at the border (some stuff I don’t even support)
Malliotakis: Senator Schumer and the President should be giving a little
Dean: They did try to pass that package in the Senate
Malliotakis: No they did not
Dean: Because the former president told them to kill it
Malliotakis: That’s not what happened
Senator Thom Tillis on Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think she’s uninformed, she is a total waste of time. She is a horrible leader. She is dragging our brand down…
Unprecedented! For first time in its 95 YEAR history,
@LULAC_PAC
endorsed a presidential ticket.
The stakes of this election are too high for Latinos and it’s clear that
@KamalaHarris
&
@Tim_Walz
see, respect, and will respond to our Latino communities.
Today, we are proud to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because of the real issues facing Latino communities and all Americans across the nation; we can trust them to do what is right for our community and the country.
Throughout her career, Harris has demonstrated a
California farmworkers are majority Latinos and Latinas. Putting food on our table day in and day out. Rain or heat.
This Hispanic Heritage month let’s honor their work and give them the right to organize and join a union.

Pence went on despite Susan Page asking him to stop. Only fair to allow Senator Harris to respond without interruption. Even if she made a prior point. What happened to equal time?
#VPDebate
Wallace allowing Trump to insult too. If there is a next debate can we get some decorum and rules in place that are followed. No way we could do what Trump is doing on the House floor. I get this isn’t the House floor but this is supposed to be the President. He’s embarrassing.
As we mourn the loss of a peace leader &human rights activists, let us remember Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s advice to do your little bit of good where you are.
Years ago I was lucky to see him officiate a dear friend’s wedding. We are all better for his blessings and wisdom.
I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. If you’re with me, add a donation right now.
New report: Massive surge in Latino turnout helped drive last year's Dem sweep in California. Latinos made up the same share of the electorate in 2018 that they did in 2016 in the 7 congressional seats Dems flipped, a huge departure from past midterms
What an honor for me to be able to lead this important conversation with
@VP
Harris to talk about her work for our Latino communities. From reproductive rights to supporting Latina entrepreneurs and her work on maternal health she continues to be an ally and an inspiration.
Adam Schiff has a plan that will make life more affordable for Californians.
Making child care affordable, reducing costs, enacting paid family leave for all, lowering education costs, and expanding the social security net.

On behalf of California workers and my constituents, I’m proud to join this fight. Californians can’t afford to wait. They deserve a living wage now. Thank you
@JosephNSanberg
for leading the way.
It is long-overdue for California workers to be guaranteed a living wage.
As we fight the legal battle to get the

@ada_briceno
for their bold leadership and courage. This is no small task.

We need a proven leader in the US Senate.
@AdamSchiff
has been a leader on campaign finance reform & has the record to prove it. He helped lead efforts to pass McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation & is the lead author of the amendment to overturn Citizens United.
One of my favorite places in Washington DC is the Library of Congress. Just days ago, I was in it and saw this towering Christmas tree. Every time I visit the LOC I am in awe of its beauty and history.
Kudos to my colleague
@RepJayapal
for this great appearance on a show known to demonize immigrants. Thanks for standing strong, setting the record straight and doing it so composed. And great job controlling the conversation & not allowing to be talked over/interrupted.
I went on FOX News with
@TuckerCarlson
to set the record straight about family immigration. This is a cornerstone of our system that helps families stay together, strengthens our country's diversity and economy, and goes to the heart of what America is all about.
I was appalled by the treatment that this woman received for simply trying to use the restroom. Everyone has the right to their own identity, and the right not to be discriminated against for who they are.
It’s important to have a proven track record delivering for your constituents.
@AdamSchiff
has secured millions for his district to fight food & housing insecurity & deliver basic needs to his constituents. He’s committed to get those resources for CA if elected to US Senate.
President Trump can go to the hospital tonight because he has health insurance. I have had 2 patients in the last week who avoided NECESSARY, POTENTIALLY LIFE SAVING evaluations because they do not. And if Trump wins, there will be 25 Million more Americans just like them.
Really excited to announce the endorsement of our local Congresswoman
@Nanette4CA
. I look forward to partnering with her to represent Southeast LA, our port communities, and Long Beach.
Wallace allowing Trump to ramble then not giving Biden enough time to respond. And not shutting up Trump when he rudely interrupts. The mess continues.
Love this! Thank you for supporting your wife and our healthcare workers as they fight to save lives. I can relate, my sister is a RN at a Colorado hospital. I will continue to fight (& pray) for our healthcare workers, first responders and those on the frontlines
#COVID19
My wife is a doctor of 27 years. She's been working 14-16 hours a day & today was her first day off in about a month. She slept all day, and I let her because she damn well deserves it. We're coming up on 36 years, and I have never been more proud of her than I am right now.
Proud to support
@KarenBassLA
for Mayor of LA. I have worked along side her & know that she brings compassion, intelligence, and a relentlessness to reach a solution on issues. She has a deep love for our city & knows well the challenges ahead. She’s who we need to lead our city.
As mayor, I’ll do everything I can to help small businesses in our city not only survive, but thrive.
Great to be in San Pedro today with
@Nanette4CA

for Kamalanomenon event to get supporters fired up & on the phones. Lots of first time volunteers. Love the enthusiasm here to elect Kamala Harris our next President!
Wallace going through Biden’s enviro plan and talking now about cost. No mention from Wallace about the cost of not doing it - to our planet and public health. We must act on climate change now. And let’s be clear, Trump’s plan is to bail out Big Oil with taxpayer $$
It’s Thursday so you should know that if the minimum wage had increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it would be $22.50. Instead, it’s $7.25.
That's $15.25 per hour that's disappeared (or taken) from the pockets of low income workers the past 60 years...
My head hurts after watching that debate. I don’t know if we need another. Especially because Trump doesn’t know how to follow the rules. He thinks he’s above the law and rules.
When I was chair of the U.S. House Homeland Border subcommittee I relied on Aaron at Immigration Council.
Follow Aaron if you want the facts on border crossings and immigration policy. Because context, history and facts matter.
Latinos will help decide the 2024 election. And the Harris-Walz campaign knows that. That’s why today they launched a Latinos con Harris-Walz WhatsApp channel. Scan the QR code below to join them:

Also reminded of my 2016 election, single (no partner), quit job to campaign 1.5 years & use my savings & then taking out a home equity line to live without a pay check (to pay for rent and food). Sacrifices we make to serve. Worth it. Would do it all over again. Love my job.
Lots of excitement in NV to elect

When I ran for Congress, I never imagined I’d try to sleep in Tijuana on the cement floor on the US border in the cold w/ another MoC & a few immigrant rights friends & asylum seekers. Singing songs, sharing hugs, smiles & tears w/Maria, her kids & our group, worth it!
Hour 11. Been here since 2pm. Still waiting for asylum seekers to be processed and

Biden wraps presidential debate, acting presidential, saying he would accept the election results. What does Trump do? Interrupt. Because Trump doesn’t know how to do the same, be presidential.

Huge thanks to

voters for their vote of confidence & giving me the privilege to advance to the general election in Nov. I will continue to fight to create jobs for our district, access to healthcare for all, invest in infrastructure, & clean air & water. Onward to November!
As I watch headlines & vote counts this week, I’m reminded of my election 2016, when I was down 16% on election night & had the longest 2.5 hrs of my life, the time it took for more votes to come & take the lead. These candidates are going through that terrible feeling for days.
Californians like Blanca are counting on us to fight to get The Living Wage Act on the November ballot. Because Californians need help now. They deserve to earn a living wage. They deserve a raise to be able to afford rent, groceries and life’s basic necessities.
Too many Californians are facing the same struggle as Blanca. They can't wait until 2024 to raise the wage. That's why we're doing everything possible to get the Living Wage Act on the ballot this November.
Please RT Blanca's story. Blanca is why we fight to raise the wage.
The CBP Officer here asked me to stop recording, she doesn’t want the American people know what’s happening at the border. Please RT this NowThis video to help expose this. Thanks!

When I think of the earned income tax credit, I think of
@JosephNSanberg
. No one in California has championed the outreach and expansion of Cal EITC more than him. On a federal level, we must do the same. Outreach, awareness and expand the earned income tax credit.
Today is Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day. The EITC is a financial boost for working people and helps our local economy. Working family credits lifted an estimated 9 million people out of poverty. Learn more about the EITC here:
