The Golden State is fully charged and ready to invest in more zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure to establish a dependable and sustainable future. We are setting the gold standard for global clean energy leadership, despite the Trump administration’s attempts to undermine our efforts.

Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov · 3d ago

California is speeding up zero-emission vehicle infrastructure construction. We're putting $95M toward more charging stations, more hydrogen refueling systems, and more workforce training opportunities. Instead of abandoning our future economy, California is taking the wheel.

Here in California, we’re investing in our children by making Universal Transitional Kindergarten (TK) available to every 4-year-old across the state, providing them access to free, high-quality early education. By starting earlier, we’re giving every child a strong foundation for learning.

Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov · 2d ago

With free TK available to every 4-year-old in the state, hundreds of thousands of families are saving up to $13,000 a year. 55% are already signed up. Talk about an affordability agenda.

CA homeowners deserve affordable wildfire protection for their homes. That is why I am proud to co-sponsor SB 894 by @benallenca.bsky.social, which will establish the CA Wildfire Resilience Program, providing homeowners with affordable, low-interest financing for wildfire mitigation and resilience.

As @governor.ca.gov Newsom’s Representative for International Affairs and Trade Development, I am very proud of the strong and growing partnership California has built with the Republic of Armenia over the past seven years.

Proud to have joined the Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation’s 32nd annual ‘Help Is on the Way: Broadway & Beyond’ concert and gala this past weekend. REAF is a lifeline for our city’s HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ+, homeless, and other underserved communities - grateful to support the work they do.

Last week, I joined the de Young Museum in celebration of the new ‘Treasures of the Pharaohs’ exhibit & got an early preview of the 130 rare artifacts that document over 3000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization & history – which are all on view for the first time in North America, here in SF.

California is in touch with our partners in Europe as they battle historic and deadly blazes. The state continues to actively coordinate with emergency personnel and first responders on the ground — lending our support and expertise. And we stand ready should they need more.

CA stands in solidarity with the people of France, Spain, Portugal, and communities across Europe facing devastating wildfires & extreme weather. Thank you the brave firefighters, first responders, & emergency personnel who are working to protect lives, safeguard communities, & contain these fires.

My heart is with everyone affected by the devastating M7.1 earthquake in Japan. I am also thinking of the courageous rescue teams working to locate & save those who may still be missing or trapped beneath the rubble. CA stands with the people of Japan as they mourn, recover, & rebuild.

The proof is in the data. A @uofcalifornia.bsky.social degree is an investment that pays off with higher career earnings for students.

People who say college isn’t worth it haven’t seen this data

A UC degree pays off with higher earnings that grow over time, and UC graduates enter the workforce with greater financial flexibility due to no or low debt.

I wrapped up my UK trip at the London office of @wilsonsonsini.bsky.social, a California-based law firm, where I spoke with British investors about the opportunities and benefits of doing business in the Golden State.

It was so great to visit & tour @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social! During this visit, I met with Imperial College VP Amanda Wolthuizen to discuss opportunities for collaboration on academic research & an exciting partnership between our UC campuses & the Russell Group of UK research universities.

Today, I joined British Consul General Eleanor Kiloh and British Business Bank Chairman Stephen Welton to discuss the strength of British investment in California, particularly in the aerospace and aviation tech sectors.

What an amazing experience to be visited at the California pavilion by Apollo 16 Lunar Module pilot and the 10th man to walk on the moon, Astronaut Charlie Duke — a true American hero and space pioneer.

Honored to have met Deputy Mayor @howarddawber.bsky.social at the Farnborough Airshow today.
 We had a great conversation about the strong ties between London and California as global hubs for innovation, investment, and growth in the aviation and aerospace technology sectors.

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.

Today, I joined the CA delegation in London at the Farnborough International Airshow for tours and product demonstrations from Archer Aviation, Anduril, Lockheed Martin, and many other innovative CA-based companies. The future of aerospace and aviation is pioneering and inventive — and it’s in CA!

Great to see these important changes that will make CalFresh more accessible to California’s students. Our universities are home to the best and brightest students in the world, but we can’t expect them to excel if they are wondering how to afford their next meal.

California is making the largest education investment in state history — including $2.4 BILLION more for special education — to support California's youngest learners.

On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we confront stark and persistent inequity in our workforce. Black women are still paid significantly less than their peers, even while working longer hours and carrying greater burdens.

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.

July is Disability Pride Month. We celebrate the leadership and contributions of California’s disability community and reaffirm our commitment to a future where everyone is respected and empowered to live, work, and learn without barriers.

Thank you to @governor.ca.gov, State Treasurer @fionamacpa.bsky.social, & Google.org for partnering to help CA families access $2.4B in early wealth-building resources, so every dollar reaches the families that need it. Every child's future starts with these savings & wealth-building accounts.

Governor Gavin Newsom@governor.ca.gov · 2mo ago

Thousands of California families may already have money for their children through programs like CalKIDS. In partnership with Google.org and the Early Wealth Partnership, we’re launching a new tool to make it easier for families to access and claim CalKIDS and other wealth-building accounts.

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.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2mo ago

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s proposed limits.

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a win for every Californian who votes by mail and a rejection of the effort to throw those ballots out. Mail delays happen. When voters cast their ballot by Election Day, that ballot should count. The Court got this right.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 2mo ago

BREAKING: In a huge win for voters across the country, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold grace periods for mail ballots. States CAN count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after Election Day.

11 years ago, the Obergefell v. Hodges decision affirmed that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry the person they love, marking a historic win for marriage equality. However, this progress must not be taken for granted.
