just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

I just signed legislation further enabling the development of carbon management projects in California. This action will create good-paying jobs, put our state on the leading edge of another emerging innovative industry, and aims to help further reduce climate pollution.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped health care away from 15 million people and are raising costs for millions more. The numbers are damning.

As a former federal worker, I remember the financial stress of a shutdown. That’s why I’ve refused to accept pay until the government reopens.   Up in NJ, I heard from workers who are rightfully frustrated. Full convo out tomorrow.

In New Jersey, the "Obamacare" health insurance marketplace is called Get Covered NJ. If Congress lets tax breaks expire, the cost will double (or more) for millions - an estimated 45,000 just in #NJ07, Rep Tom Kean Jr's district! Dems want to fix that - Republicans refused and shut the govt.
