Democrat Betty Yee drops out of race for California governor San Francisco native and former California state controller Betty Yee has announced she's leaving the race for governor after low polling, giving emotional remarks and thanking her family.

Betty Yee has suspended her campaign for governor.

She's putting California, our democracy, safety & well being ahead of her ambitions.

I hope others like Katie Porter will follow in her footsteps.

Please let everyone you know that she & Swalwell have dropped out.

New Documents Undermine Trump Administration’s Claims About Offshore Wind Deal There was no new investment required from TotalEnergies, according to newly disclosed terms.

Trump gives $1 billion if taxpayer money to foreign energy firm to stop an offshore wind farm. It wasn't in exchange for fossil fuel investments. He paid $1 billion of your dollars to avoid losing the case in court to allow it to be built. That's waste, fraud & abuse

The El Gamal family will be released! Today, a federal judge ordered the end of their imprisonment at the Dilley trailer prison. They had been suffering at Dilley for nearly a year—the mother was rushed to the hospital last week and the five-year old daughter had been denied dental care.

Pramila Jayapal (D) just DESTROYED Russ Vought on the floor and it was GLORIOUS.

Billionaires pay nothing while they slash Medicaid, food aid, and housing, then call it a “big beautiful bill.” He didn’t even know what the average American pays in taxes! Shame!

Even -47 in some polls. Prices are up. His numbers are in free fall. You can’t spin your way out of people’s grocery bills.

Trump’s Labor Sec Lori Chavez-DeRemer just resigned in disgrace. Among the Sen Dems who voted 4 her:

Gallego (master of bad judgment)
Kelly (often delusional)
Warnock (see Kelly)
Ossoff (naive)
Slotkin (useless or dumb)
Kaine (see Slotkin)

And usual craven bad Dems. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Ossoff: “Did you hear what he said? ‘It’s not possible’ to fund daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare—only war.” Then Trump drops a $1.5T Pentagon demand, paid by gutting housing, utilities, and cancer research… because draft-dodging Donald loves sending other people’s kids to war.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

I stood with local advocates and our Texas Democratic Delegation to say: Protect Big Bend. Stop the wall.

Building a wall in Big Bend isn’t just waste of taxpayer dollars, it’s a threat to the lives of Texans. By disrupting the flow of the Rio Grande Valley, it would increase the risks of deadly flash floods and severely impact downstream communities like Laredo.

Don’t worry Sean, we won’t miss you.

They are making more profits than they have ever been.

I mean. It is literally on a weekly basis.

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.
