Moving forward in life is knowing when you should lead, knowing when to follow, and knowing when to stand alone with kindness.

In WA State farm workers are harvesting Granny Smith apples. Hector says, "I feel very unhappy about what they're paying us. Last year, we were paid $33/900lb bin. This year they are only paying us $30/bin. It's increasingly difficult to cover my family's expenses. #WeFeedYou

While Trump moves to cut disaster preparedness, California is putting new rescue vehicles, boats, and lifesaving equipment directly into the hands of highly trained firefighters. We're ensuring responders have the tools needed to act quickly, protect communities, and save lives.

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

Happy to see @airresources.bsky.social approve updates to California's Cap-and-Invest program after the Legislature extended it through 2045. California is slashing emissions, creating jobs, and using funds raised from polluters to improve Californians' lives and health across the state.

CARB@airresources.bsky.social

Today, CARB adopted updates to California’s #CapAndInvest Program to help keep the state on track toward its 2030 and 2045 climate goals while supporting affordability, jobs, and clean energy investment. 🌎 The updated program is expected to take effect September 1. ➡️ bit.ly/4wYUKR0

Reminder: You can watch the DOGE bro depos on YouTube! (I’ve seen a lot of clips compiled by news orgs, but some of them don’t link to the full videos.)

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public. Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkCz...

PAPER PLANET: “While Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply. The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand. While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.

🚨HUGE: Trump’s destroyed the economy so badly that he inspired an ECONOMIST to run for Congress. Jeff Cohen literally wrote the textbook on how the economy works. He can call out Trump’s bullshit in real time and offer solutions. Here’s how this race could change everything.👇

Jeff Cohen for Congress@jeffcohen4congress.bsky.social

I’m Jeff Cohen. I’ve spent my life working on big economic problems. Trump’s chaotic economic nonsense is failing us. Americans can’t get ahead. I’m running for Congress because we need leadership to fix it.

The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

NOAA also confirming with me this morning that the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) will be continuing its distribution of DMSP satellite data, which means our hurricane forecast tools should stay in tact. Crisis averted 🙌

🚨🚨 I've independently confirmed with @NOAA that they received a late-breaking notice from @DeptofDefense that SSMIS data will continue to flow for the remainder of the lifespan of the satellites. I will be updating my reporting shortly. Here is the official NOAA statement 👇

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 230+ Venezuelan deportees the Trump administration sent to CECOT matched those on the lists. (Published May)
