Since I became governor in 2019, California's economy has grown by $1.5+ TRILLION. And 2026 state revenues from our three biggest tax sources are coming in $7.7 BILLION higher than projected. The Golden State continues to dominate and set the pace.

I'm thrilled to announce nearly $1.3 BILLION to improve passenger rail and expand clean mass transit up and down the state. California's nation-leading climate leadership continues to deliver for Californians at home and showcase our green power around the world.

California is funding new research on prescribing psychedelic treatments to improve veterans' health. It's part of my administration's work prioritizing veterans through mental health resources, homeownership aid, consumer protections, and post-service career support.

I'm headed to @UNFCCC #COP31 in Türkiye to send a clear message to world leaders: California is not backing down on climate action. Excited to join international partners and other subnational leaders to build on our extraordinary climate action and economic growth.

I'm issuing emergency proclamations to support recovery from the Mile Post 18 Fire in Humboldt County and August's monsoon storm in Imperial County. We're making sure communities on the ground have what they need to rebuild critical infrastructure after natural disasters.

Republicans are once again giving promotions to the worst people you know.
BREAKING: Rep. Jim Jordan will lead a much-diminished House GOP as minority leader next year, beating out Majority Leader Steve Scalise in his third attempt to lead Republicans on Capitol Hill. politico.com/live-updates/20…

Great visiting county and state partners providing CARE Act services to Californians with addiction and severe mental health issues. We've connected nearly 12,000 people to support since 2024, delivered historic drops in homelessness, and are helping to undo decades of neglect.

California's CARE Act is providing more treatment and housing to people with serious mental illness and addiction. We're also EXCEEDING Prop 1 goals: 6,900+ new, permanent shelters and beds 27,000+ outpatient slots This is a big deal.

Jennifer and I deeply mourn the loss of LAPD Officer Thomas Denton and send our thoughts to his family, friends, and colleagues. In honor of Officer Denton, flags at the State Capitol and Capitol Annex Swing Space will be flown at half-staff.

Donald Trump just promoted one of the most vile thugs to ever slither into the Oval Office. This is an insult to every American who voted for change on Tuesday. Stephen Miller cooked up the sadistic mass deportation regime that ripped apart families and trampled basic civil rights. Innocent people are dead because of him. Voters rejected his cruelty and extremism. This is sick.
"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

We just got FINAL APPROVAL to build our Sites Reservoir project on the Sacramento River, the state's largest new reservoir in 50 years. Construction in Glenn and Colusa counties is set to create jobs and an extraordinary source of support for withstanding future droughts.
California continues to take bold action to expand our water storage and delivery for a world made hotter and drier by the climate crisis. We've worked over the last eight years to fast-track key water infrastructure like the Sites Reservoir project to prepare for that future.

Justice is served.
The Supreme Court quickly shut down President Donald Trump's effort to force California to sideline potentially thousands of ballots that the Justice Department claims may have been cast by noncitizens, rejecting the administration's emergency request hours after it was filed. cnn.it/3WpAfz2

Let me be clear to anyone thinking about helping Trump interfere with California elections: If you interfere with voters or tamper with ballots, you will be prosecuted with a FELONY. And don't count on a pardon from the President. He can't pardon you out of California justice.

California is dead serious about the security of tomorrow's midterm elections. If Trump tries to meddle with California's ballots, you can be sure as hell that we'll prosecute those who help him. Californians deserve a free and fair election, and that is exactly what we'll deliver.

I'm proposing to expand the @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit to at least $1 BILLION annually to make California's Film & TV Credit the LARGEST capped program in America. Building on my previous expansions' success, we'll bring in more productions, more jobs, and more opportunity.
