I asked one LGBTQ legislator what the feeling is among caucus members right now — "Livid." #caleg

‘School lunch debt’ is a term so absurd that it shouldn’t even exist. That’s why I’m proud to introduce a bill to CANCEL the nation’s student meal debt and stop humiliating kids and penalizing hunger. fox43.com/article/life/f…

Big 3 Automaker profits: 2013: $19 billion 2014: $16 billion 2015: $26 billion 2016: $27 billion 2017: $25 billion 2018: $26 billion 2019: $22 billion 2020: $20 billion 2021: $31 billion 2022: $37 billion 2023 (so far): $33 billion So yes, they can afford to pay workers more.

When it comes to organized labor, don’t be a 1993 Democrat in a 2023 world. 👀

What a great way to start #NationalSchoolLunchWeek !! Gavin Newsom signed my #caleg #SB348 - making CA the first state in the nation to codify President Donald J. Trump 's new federal guidelines on school nutrition standards to reduce sugar & salt in school meals. sd09.senate.ca.gov/news/gov-newso…

I’m grateful to Governor Gavin Newsom for his commitment to justice for survivors of child sexual assault. AB 452 removes cruel & arbitrary barriers to healing & justice. CA has taken a critical step forward in letting survivors know their voices matter. AB 452 Co-author Nancy Skinner

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 40 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

NEW: California's homeless population up to 181,399, a nearly 6% increase since last year. More than two-thirds are unsheltered. The homeless population would rank as the state's 25th largest city, bigger than Oceanside, Pasadena and Berkeley huduser.gov/portal/sites/d…

This ⬇️ is a massive policy failure.

Ron DeSantis the minute he dropped out of the presidential race:

When we start being told the only way to balance the budget is cutting teachers, child care, and life saving social services…remember this 👇🏽

According to research from the Federal Reserve, corporate profits accounted for ALL of inflation from around July 2020–July 2021, and 41% of all inflation from around July 2020–July 2022. We must tackle corporate price gouging head-on. I’m staying in that fight.

You likely paid more of your income in taxes than over 100 of the largest corporations did. ⚡ By ensuring that corporations pay their fair share in taxes, we can invest in vital public services and provide a safety net for those in need. #TaxDay

Dozens of CA Senate Dems California Legislative Women's Caucus Nancy Skinner staff alumni have gathered in her office and now in the balcony to celebrate her 14 year legacy in the #CaLeg Legislature during today’s floor celebration of terming out Senators. We 🫶 you, Senator.

Disappointed to see the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project permanently close. All the more reason we need my bill, #AB2401, which expands a different EV rebate program statewide & targets lower-income, high mileage CA drivers. We can’t lose the momentum in our shift toward clean cars.

#AB2488, my bill to help revitalize Downtown San Francisco, has been signed by the Governor! It allows local leaders to offer tax incentives to developers for converting empty office/retail spaces into housing to boost needed foot traffic in the area. a19.asmdc.org/press-releases…

This is what happens when we can’t build housing. NIMBYs are killing the future of our party. Democrats need to learn how to build shit again. We need to massively cut the red tape that prevents us from building mixed use, transit oriented development cheap and quickly.
