Proud to have earned the endorsement from Stonewall Young Democrats! As an organization, SYD is focused on shaping and inspiring young LGBTQIA+ Democrats to be the next generation of political leaders – and I am honored to stand alongside them in their mission.

Her legacy now lives on in every woman who dares to lead, every voice that refuses to be silenced, and every door that is open for the generations that follow.

Gloria Steinem was a trailblazer who transformed the fight for women’s equality and reproductive freedom. She taught us that our voices have power, and that we should never be afraid to speak up, challenge injustice, and fight for what is right.

Beyond her successes in Hollywood, Dolly’s Imagination Library program made free books available to children in all 58 CA counties & made our state the first to offer a fully bilingual English-Spanish option. Thank you, Dolly, for your contributions to CA & to the world.

Yesterday, America lost an icon. Dolly Parton was beloved for her music, her larger-than-life personality, her rhinestoned outfits, and, most importantly, her kindness & generosity, as reflected in her philanthropic legacy. Although Dolly was a TN legend, she leaves behind a lasting legacy in CA.

I am deeply humbled and honored to be endorsed by one of my personal heroes, and one of California’s fiercest leaders Dolores Huerta.

Calling all history buffs who love historical fiction! I am excited to share August’s book club recommendation: Isola by Allegra Goodman. This was a remarkable book. The author takes an intriguing historical fact about the 16th-century survival story & extrapolates it into an amazing narrative.

Thank you to UA Local 393 and Erica Valentine for spending this Saturday with @fionamacpa.bsky.social, Malia Cohen, & I! It was so great to meet and speak with all the hardworking plumbers, steamfitters, & HVAC/R service technicians who keep Silicon Valley running smoothly for over 100 years.

Happy birthday, @barackobama.bsky.social!

As a Greek American by birth and a Cretan-American by marriage, my heart breaks for the three courageous firefighters who lost their lives fighting the fires raging on mainland Greece and the island of Crete right now. May their bravery, selflessness, and service be eternally remembered.

Three firefighters killed on Crete and in mainland Greece as Europe battles wildfires

David Huerta never should have been prosecuted. He never should have been tackled and pepper sprayed while observing an ICE raid. I’m proud to stand with David and SEIU against the abuse of power from the Trump Administration – because We the People, will not be silenced.

I am deeply honored to earn the endorsement of @ppactionca.bsky.social. As CA’s next State Treasurer, I am committed to protecting reproductive freedom & access to essential healthcare. These rights are non-negotiable, so I will always fight to ensure every person can access the care they need.

Markos & I are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend, Clint Reilly. Civic-leader, brilliant political strategist – Clint changed countless lives for the better. He was one of a kind, larger than life, & will be missed. Our thoughts are with Janet, their daughters & all who loved him.

And still obsessed with an election he lost 6 years ago.

Obviously, Donald Trump is a loser.

7 days ago, ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 52-year man on his way to work. Yesterday, ICE shot and killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year old man in front of his daughter and wife. ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back to office, with 2 in just the last week.

Proud to have @cademocrats.bsky.social support for our campaign for CA State Treasurer. Together, we're building a California economy that works for every Californian — onward to November.

Eleni Kounalakis has our full support for California State Treasurer! Californians deserve a leader like Eleni who will invest in our communities and expand economic opportunities for working families.

What an honor and pleasure for my father Angelo and brother Kyriakos to meet with the future Governor of California!

Happy 250th Birthday to the United States of America! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the enduring promise of a nation founded over 200 years ago on the ideals of liberty, freedom, and equality.

As we celebrate our independence, we honor that legacy by reflecting on the responsibility it carries – which is to defend the values that define America, especially when they are tested, and to renew our commitment to the ideals that unite us and move our nation forward.

Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸 Two and a half centuries ago, our nation was founded on a bold promise: democracy, freedom, and equal justice under the law.

Today, justice prevailed. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship — rejecting Donald Trump’s unconstitutional attack on our immigrant communities. If you are born in this country, you are an American. Full stop. California has always stood for that truth, and we always will.

Congratulations to my number one “s-hero” @pelosi.house.gov on this incredible opportunity to continue her legacy of fighting for our democracy.

To all the dads out there – and those who serve as father figures – I hope you are celebrated today for all you do! And especially to my husband, Markos, who is a wonderful father to our two sons and my own remarkable dad. Happy Father’s Day!

Incredibly honored and excited to be here at the Grand Opening Ceremony for the new Obama Presidential Center in Chicago! Thank you to @barackobama.bsky.social and Michelle Obama for this beautiful celebration of community, music, and joy.

This month, I read The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. I love this book so much. It is such a great read, especially for readers who are government wonks like myself. Let me know what you think if you have a chance to read it, and join me next month for the next Book Club 📚

Donald Trump’s targeting of First Partner @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social through the DOJ is the latest example of his unpresidential, thuggish behavior. Using our federal government to intimidate political opponents - or their families - is an attack on our democracy, and an attack on us all.

Such a privilege to attend the FIFA 2026 Qatar vs. Switzerland game today! ⚽️ Thank you FIFA President Infantino and team mascots and congratulations to both teams on a great match!

Go Team USA 🇺🇸 Excited to be here at the USA vs. Paraguay game in Los Angeles!

Congratulations to Eleni Kounalakis on advancing to the General Election as the Democratic candidate for Treasurer of California! 🥳 Eleni has built her career around expanding opportunity and delivering results for Californians.
