Here's a California public safety story you probably won't see on Fox News: Crime is way down. Homicide ⬇️ 18.6% Robbery ⬇️ 19.9% Property crime ⬇️ 14.3% Motor vehicle theft ⬇️ 25.8% Violent crime ⬇️ 10.2% California's crime is falling — and the data proves that point.
Since 2024 in California: Homicide is Down 18.6%, Robbery is Down 19.9%, Property Crime is Down 14.3%, Motor Vehicle Theft is Down 25.8%, Violent Crime is Down 10.2%

Working people are exhausted from working multiple jobs, deciding what bills can be paid this month, and using buy-now-pay-later apps just to put food on the table. We need relief through higher pay and better benefits within strong union contracts!

Today, the SCOTUS rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. This attack on our families and constitutional rights should never have gone this far, but working people spoke up and refused to back down. This is worker power.

The Trump regime has made it clear that they will target, silence, and instill fear in whoever they perceive as opposition, especially when they need to distract people from their failures. It’s yet another reason why working people must unite at the ballot box to hold them accountable!

This is a win for voters, plain and simple. California, like many states, utilizes vote-by-mail to increase participation in our democracy. Today’s ruling helps ensure mailed-in-ballots get counted and people’s voices are heard through the democratic process.

Overnight, the Senate passed a bill to add an additional $70 BILLION to ICE and Border Patrol’s already giant budget without any reforms. It’s time to fund investments in our communities; not cruelty. Lawmakers must invest in real solutions that actually keep communities safe!

U.S. Senate passes $70 billion ICE funding, fails to ban Trump's 'anti-weaponization' fund
Nearly all of the funding would go to DHS's ICE and Border Patrol agencies that are carrying out the Trump admin's vigorous deportations throughout the U.S.

Down South we know that when the state attacks the civil rights lawyers instead of the cross burners, the system is working exactly as designed. A government targeting the people who track extremism is a government that views those extremists as its allies.
