Everyone knows that the President has spread California Derangement Syndrome (CDS) for many years — some say he was even patient zero — but in reality he loves California, @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom, and our world-leading policies! Trump copies our policies on the regular to bring the riches of California to all the American people.

Take a look ⬇️
CalRx — First announced in 2023, CalRx makes available insulin for just $11.

Last month (while still failing to introduce his health care plan after 10 years of promising), Trump debuted the SAD TrumpRx plan for his obesity drugs.

Coming soon…maybe?

NEW: As Trump & RFK Jr. destroy the CDC’s credibility, @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom just announced California is teaming up with Oregon & Washington to launch a new “West Coast Health Alliance” to uphold scientific integrity in public health.
The alliance represents a unified regional response to the Trump Administration’s destruction of the U.S. CDC’s credibility and scientific integrity.

As kids head back to classrooms for the new school year, here’s a look at 10 ways California’s nation-leading investments are supporting kids and reducing costs for families ⬇️ 🥪 Universal Meals Program for School Kids:

Every student gets TWO free meals. California was the first state to implement a statewide Universal Meals Program for schoolchildren, providing all public TK-12 students access to two free meals per school day.

In September, Governor Newsom signed legislation to increase enrollment in state food assistance programs, reduce youth consumption of processed foods, and increase access to healthy, locally grown food in all California communities.

California also participates in the federal SUN Bucks food program which ensures that children in families with low incomes have adequate nutrition while school is out for the summer.

THREAD: It’s simple: President Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles is not about public safety; it’s about political retribution.

Here’s 6 times President Trump failed to take the same action during his previous Admin, including instances where fed assistance was requested: Washington, D.C. (January 6, 2021)

The last time @ElonMusk “moved” an HQ, @Tesla ended up expanding in California -- even relocating their Global Engineering & AI headquarters to California because of our diverse, world-leading talent.

gov.ca.gov/2023/02/22/gov… The bill @CAGovernor Newsom signed into protects the child-parent relationship by PREVENTING politicians & school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters & attempting to control if, when, & how families have deeply personal conversations.

Under California law, minors CANNOT legally change their name or gender WITHOUT parental consent & parents are GUARANTEED the right to access their students’ educational records.

This law:
Does NOT allow a student’s name or gender identity to be changed on an official school record without parental consent.
Does NOT limit a student’s ability to discuss their gender identity with their own family.
Does NOT take away or undermine parents’ rights. AB 1955 does not prevent families from having these conversations.
Does NOT allow teachers & school districts to hide information from parents.

Earlier this month, right-wing & Rupert Murdoch-owned outlets carried water for a corporate trade group pushing a false claim (disprovable at the time of their articles) no doubt to pad their profits.

@LATimes' @HiltzikM correctly dismantled it all here: latimes.com/business/story…

And now, when presented with the facts & official @BLS_Gov data, they refuse to share the real story & POSITIVE IMPACT with their readers:

1) Job growth in the first 2 months of $20 min wage
2) Job growth every month of 2024
3) Job growth since @CAGovernor signed the bill last Sept.

We sent a note to their editors – but we haven’t heard back.

Wonder why.

🌎THIS WEEK: California racked up a series of big climate wins, including new technology that cuts emissions from making cement and groundbreaking a clean energy project in tribal communities.
