California is actively monitoring reports of potential threats tied to the Middle East conflict.

The Governor has directed @Cal_OES to elevate its security posture and has been coordinating with state, local and federal partners since the start of the conflict to share information around-the-clock.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is out, Trump says, after controversial tenure President Donald Trump announced the decision on social media and said Noem would be replaced with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).

Kristi Noem will go down as the most shamelessly incompetent and cruel Homeland Security Secretary in U.S. history.

Firing her is not enough. NOEM, GREG BOVINO, and STEPHEN MILLER all must be held accountable for terrorizing and endangering the American people.

President Donald Trump asked members of Congress to stand during his State of the Union address Tuesday if they agreed with the "fundamental principle" that "the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."

The labor movement isn’t falling for the Trump administration’s attempts to divide us.

Even as the state of our union is under attack, workers are banding together to fight back. Watch AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social respond to President Trump’s State of the Union address:

Imagine what you could have done with the money Donald Trump took away with his illegal tariffs.

20.02.2026 18:08 👍 1942 🔁 447 💬 131 📌 23

Time to pay the piper, Donald.

Your tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab that drove up prices, hurt working families, and wrecked longstanding global alliances.

Every dollar your administration unlawfully took needs to be immediately refunded — with interest.

The decisions that we make now on AI are going to shape the next 50 years of our lives.

@sagaftra.org President Sean Astin is right: we need guardrails on the use of AI to protect our jobs, our intellectual property, our rights and our freedoms.

A hero in life and a legend in death, Jesse Jackson’s leadership shaped our America in profound ways for 60 years, and will live on always. The Assembly Democratic Caucus honors his courage and salutes his legacy.

Throughout his life, Rev. Jackson fought tirelessly for workers, both at home and around the world. At every turn, he reminded us that the fight for good jobs, living wages, and union rights is inseparable from the fight for justice and equality. May he rest in power.

Every strawberry tells a love story. Not the kind sold in candy, but a story rooted in sacrifice. Farmworkers harvest with care, yet they face low wages and fear. Love means respect. Love means justice. Love means standing with farmworkers.

Had a productive meeting at the Munich Security Conference with Danish Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social.

No matter who's in the White House, California will always be a steady partner committed to shared democratic values, climate action, and economic cooperation.

Thank you to EU Climate Commissioner @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu for meeting at the Munich Security Conference to discuss our shared net-zero and clean energy goals.

We look forward to strengthening climate cooperation between California and the EU.

Bill Introduced To Ensure Transparency With State Telework Policies | Official Website - Assemblymember Alex Lee Representing the 24th California Assembly District Assemblymember Alex Lee introduced legislation to support state workers and recognize the proven benefits of telework for both California employees and taxpayers. AB 1729 prioritizes transparency for public employees by requiring clear telework policies across state agencies.

Telework saves money, cuts pollution, and recruits the workforce Californians rely on. #AB1729 by @votealexlee.bsky.social brings transparency, real data on costs, & accountability for RTO mandates. We stand with @seiu1000.bsky.social for smart, equitable state policy that respects state workers.

Since Roe was overturned in 2022, thousands of people have traveled from other states to California to get the care they are being denied in other states — we do not discriminate in supporting people accessing the health care they want or need.

Trump accepts ownership of the current economy: 'I'm very proud of it' In an exclusive interview with NBC News, the president said the country is already experiencing the "Trump economy."

Working people are paying more for rent, groceries, utilities, health insurance and more — all while billionaires and corporations get richer.

And President Trump says he’s proud of it? Really?!

It's appropriate on #BlackHistoryMonth we uplift Kevin's voice. He's been a Jamaican H2A worker for the last 10 yrs & is excited over the implementation of his UFW contract at NYs Wafler Farms. He's looking forward to getting the benefits his contract provides. #UnionsForAll

These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou
