For everyone saying this is not a time for blame, this is exactly the moment that the people who have been responsible for the mismanagement of California's fire policies be held accountable. Our governor has been obsessed with holding a special session to "Trump-proof" CA, when he should be focused on FIRE-PROOFING our communities. Here are a few hard facts about the democrat-run state's failures to address fire prevention:

🚨BREAKING: Democrats in Sacramento just voted to BLOCK $1 billion for wildfire prevention. Their failure to invest in prevention directly lead to the disastrous fires. They would rather spend our tax dollars to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants. Every AYE vote was to kill our amendment with this $1 billion; every Republican voted NO in order to provide this funding.

For full context today we gaveled into a special session called by Governor Newsom to “Trump-proof” California. I wore my dark MAGA hat to remind him that President Trump received 40% of the CA vote, won the popular vote, and took more than 300 electoral college votes.

No, Governor, I voted against your budget full of misplaced priorities and outrageous programs like free healthcare for illegal immigrants. Don’t blame Republicans for your mess. You and the super-majority Democrat legislature passed a ridiculous budget that cut critical funding for wildfire prevention and instead funded: - $5 billion annually to give illegal immigrants free healthcare - $4.2 billion on a fraudulent high-speed rail project to nowhere - $24 billion on homelessness programs with ZERO result

Democrats insist on spending over $5 BILLION a year on illegal immigrant healthcare while they slash wildfire prevention 80% down to $200 million. This should disgust every Californian especially those impacted by the ongoing wildfire disaster in Los Angeles.

I’m calling on Congress to immediately convene upon President Trump’s inauguration and strip California of all its federal funding until it complies with our immigration laws. Not a penny to sanctuary states! #federalism

I’m proud to say that I was @BrandonStraka’s attorney, and making that call to him today was one of the highlights of my professional career.

I just sent an official letter to Governor @GavinNewsom calling on him to convene a special session to address our ongoing unmitigated wildfire disaster. Instead of “Trump-Proofing” California, Newsom needs to FIREPROOF our state! Enough is enough.

FACT CHECK: There is ZERO requirement to prove you are a US citizen to vote in California. The first time you vote, CA accepts all forms of ridiculous fake “ID” such as: -Utility bill -Drug prescription -Public transit card -Student ID -MediCal card, which CA now gives to all illegal aliens! It is ILLEGAL to ask anyone for photo ID. Read the law for yourself here, 2 CCR § 20107: tinyurl.com/mbdtdy6n

🚨Assembly Democrats just BLOCKED my bill AB 844 which would protect girls in sports and in locker rooms. 79% of Americans believe boys should NOT be allowed to play in girls sports, but out-of-touch Sacramento Democrats choose radical gender politics over common sense. Where is @GavinNewsom? He called out this unfairness on a podcast but is absent when we need leadership.

BREAKING: I just introduced AB 1783 to revoke all taxpayer funding for health care for illegal immigrants in the California State Budget. It is unconscionable to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to give universal healthcare to illegal immigrants when our own citizens cannot afford their own healthcare on top of historic inflation and the highest cost of living in the nation. The state budget has a $68 billion deficit, insurance premiums are going up across the board, and consumer prices remain 19% higher than pre-pandemic levels. Law-abiding immigrants like my parents are part of the great fabric of our state and nation. We cannot incentivize illegal immigration with free healthcare. We must take care of our own citizens before trying to care for the citizens of other nations.

I want to be clear about what happened last night in the California Legislature and my views on the issue of reparations. For years, the Democrat party has been promising to pay direct cash reparations to Americans who have been harmed by slavery. They convinced voters they were serious about this proposal and that they would enact legislation to make it happen. When the time came to pass the bills, they went into hiding and refused to bring the bills to the floor for a vote. There were hundreds of activists in the Capitol being visibly ignored by the democrats in Sacramento. They weren’t even allowed to enter the public gallery to watch the proceedings. I’ve never seen that happen. I met with several members of the public there to support the bills. I found them to be sincere, honest, and deeply frustrated Americans. I believed there should be a debate and a recorded vote on the issue. Politicians cannot be allowed to make promises to the people who elect them, and then hide like cowards when it’s time to go on record. At minimum, the People were owed a hearing and opportunity to know where their elected representative stands on the issue. I have always been clear about my views. I have not been supportive of California taxpayers paying for the wrongs of slave states. (Perhaps slave states and the Democrat party who fought for slavery should be the financially responsible.) HOWEVER, I do believe we need to have a conversation about making direct investments and important policy changes into communities that have been harmed by past injustices. This is a conversation Republicans are very much open to having. It’s unconscionable that democrats this year have spent BILLIONS on handouts to illegal immigrants, including giving them free universal healthcare and down payment assistance to buy a new home! These are people who broke our laws and just showed up in our country. If we have billions to give to illegal immigrants, then why don’t we have billions to invest in our own American communities? In the coming weeks I intend to have meaningful, serious, and productive conversations on this topic. My message to black Americans is do not blindly support any political party or politician simply because of the letter next to their name. Make them earn your vote! All 80 members of the CA Assembly are up for election this November. That’s your opportunity to make your voices heard.

Bottom line: many of the wild fires CA experienced could have been prevented or significantly mitigated with better management, policies, and funding. This is a time for accountability and, more importantly, change in how we approach fire policy. Many of the rejected proposals were brought by Republicans, and I suspect they were rejected for that reason. There is only one political party to blame for CA's failures.

In the 1950s the average timber harvest in California was around 6.0 billion board feet per year. Today, that number has dropped to ~1.5 billion board feet per year. California’s forests, which cover a third of the state, are now choked with nearly 163 million dead trees. calmatters.org/explainers/ca…

Democrats have controlled every level of government in California for nearly two decades. Republican policy solutions like CEQA exemptions for wildfire preparedness have been blocked or vetoed by this Governor, and the People have a right to demand accountability.

Medi-Cal is officially BROKE because of illegal immigrant healthcare. The Dept. of Finance just requested a $3.4 billion loan to meet its budget shortfall for just this year. I have been sounding the alarm on free healthcare for illegal immigrants because there is NO LIMIT to how many people can come to California and receive healthcare paid for by you—the taxpayer.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and other regulatory policies limit the ability of local government and fire management services to clear dead trees and vegetation. (This is a big deal and prevents much of the controlled burns we desperately need.) Multiple bills, including AB 2330, AB 1951, and AB 2639 were rejected by the democrat-controlled Legislature or vetoed by the Governor that would have exempted wildfire prevention projects from CEQA and other permitting issues.

I sent an official letter to the California Coastal Commission demanding records of communications regarding their decision to retaliate against @elonmusk and @SpaceX for his personal political views. This dangerous and illegal decision threatens our national security and erodes the public trust we place in our officials to act in the best interest of the People—not politics. In America we protect the First Amendment — we cannot tolerate the government wielding official power to punish citizens for expressing their views and beliefs.

🚨BREAKING: CA VOTER ID BALLOT MEASURE ANNOUNCEMENT Sacramento Democrats kicked me off the Assembly Elections Committee for fighting for YOU, but we don’t need them. We’re going around the Legislature to bring common sense Voter ID to California Elections. We are going to collect over 1 million signatures to put Voter ID on the 2026 ballot. 📊68% of CA Voters SUPPORT Voter ID, including 52% of Democrats, 70% of Independents, and 93% of Republicans. shorturl.at/ZmSed 📋Join us at VoterIDVolunteer.org

California has prioritized “suppression-only” strategies and failed to remove accumulated vegetation, leading to denser forests with increased fuel loads – our forests have become tinderboxes, leading to devastating outcomes when a fire starts. californiapolicycenter.org/f…

I just voted NO on the California state budget which cuts funding for education and public safety. Meanwhile it funds $5.4 Billion on healthcare for illegal immigrants. The CA legislature is OUT of touch. The CA budget is OUT of control. The CA People are OUT of money.

California is a fallen republic. When the CA Supreme Court can block the People from voting on a ballot initiative, we have devolved from a constitutional to a banana republic. This decision is outrageous and I hope voters will make their voices heard in November by voting out every incumbent democrat who supported this attack on our democracy.

Today, Governor Gavin Newsom defied parents' constitutional and God-given right to raise their children by signing #AB1955 which codifies the government's authority to keep secrets from parents. #AB1955 endangers children by excluding parents from important matters impacting their child's health and welfare at school. Governor Newsom signing #AB1955 is both immoral and unconstitutional and we will challenge it in court to stop the government from keeping secrets from parents.

Wait. Can they help us here in California too?

Other legislation, including SB 1003, would have provided CEQA exemptions for utility undergrounding projects, as power lines that are not adequately cleared of debris present major wildfire risks. These bills also failed to reach the Governor’s desk. wfca.com/wildfire-articles/p…

We started this year’s session in January! There is zero reason Sacramento dems should have waited until last night’s constitutional deadline to pass hundreds of bills. It’s all by design to rush through terrible bills without public scrutiny. You get it yet?

CA will go broke giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants. I asked the Governor’s finance team last year if there was a limit on how many illegal immigrants can come to California and sign up for free healthcare. They said there’s no limit! This is an insane policy.

This is true. California gave out billions in unemployment during COVID, much of which was fraudulent. Now businesses are left to pick up the tab. Newsom could have paid off the deficit, but he elected to give out $5 billion in healthcare coverage to illegal immigrants instead.

Correct. Under Operation Guardian Angel, pioneered by my office, local jails have no choice but to comply with our lawful orders to hand over criminal illegal immigrants. This is a good thing.

Instead of doing his job as Governor focusing on fighting these wildfires, @GavinNewsom took time to attack me on Twitter for stating the obvious: he is a complete failure and wholly incompetent to run our state. 5 years ago Newsom told President Trump California has not done enough to manage our forests, since then we’ve had 7 historically devastating fires—NOTHING has changed.

Memo to @GavinNewsom and the other out of touch politicians in Sacramento.

Democrats in Sacramento CUT wildfire prevention by 80% at the same time LA Mayor Karen Bass slashed her fire department budget—even when her own Fire Chief warned those cuts would limit their ability to fight a fire like this. This is inexcusable and we need to kick every Democrat out of office to fix California.

Assemblyman Bill Essayli Accepts Appointment to be United States Attorney for the Central District of California Assemblyman Bill Essayli has vacated his seat in the California State Assembly to accept the appointment to be the United States Attorney for the Central District of California. "I am honored that President Trump and Attorney General Bondi have placed their trust in me to serve as United States Attorney for the Central District of California. I intend to implement the President’s mission to restore trust in our justice system and pursue those who dare to cause harm to the United States and the People of our nation,” stated Bill Essayli. “In just over two years, we have achieved major victories to restore common sense in Sacramento. When I joined the Assembly, parental rights, illegal immigration, and voter ID were peripheral issues; we’ve made them centerpieces of our Party. This past election we added true fighters and I am confident they will continue the important work needed in the Legislature to make Republicans start winning in California,” added Essayli. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California serves the seven counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. This includes a population of nearly 20 million people – the largest of any federal judicial district in the country. The role of the Office is to enforce the laws and defend the interests of the United States. It does so through three primary litigating Divisions: Criminal, National Security, and Civil.

A Member of the California Legislature has been accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of soliciting and accepting bribes up to $200,000. Although this person’s name has not been made public, I am calling on our legislature to immediately initiate an investigation to determine who this person is and to take the appropriate actions if it’s determined they in fact did engage in unlawful conduct. We have a rotten culture of corruption in Sacramento. It’s unacceptable for legislators to financially benefit from abusing their powers, while everyday Californians are struggling just to survive under the current Democrat regime. We need major reforms and accountability for our state elected officials.

The California Assembly silenced me and the 500k Californians I represent tonight! They would not let me debate or speak. These people are the enemy of democracy!

California is literally burning, it doesn’t have to be this way. The policies of the far left have set the conditions for this disaster. We have to end bad environmental policies that have prevented us from managing our wild lands. The time is now!

Vote NO on all bonds. California cannot afford any more debt. We need to spend the money we already have more wisely.

D’s have been in full control of California for over a decade. How’s that working out? Is there a single category they haven’t failed in? Crime, housing, affordability, traffic, homelessness…list goes on.

Newsom doubling down on bankrupting CA by giving free universal healthcare to illegal immigrants. He’s unfit to be Governor, let alone President!

California is facing a $73 Billion deficit and no one is taking it seriously. Not the Governor, not the Chair of the Budget Committee. This is how the Democrat Supermajority in Sacramento reacts to the minority party holding them accountable. They shut off microphones and they demand you speak to them behind closed doors. No more secret deals or NDAs. The People deserve a vigorous and public debate on the largest budget deficit in our state’s history.

🚨LEAKED emails from the Governor’s office prove what we’ve known—Democrat politicians care more about playing politics to score points than do what’s right for the People. Newsom is so afraid of letting the People vote to fix Prop. 47 he sends his thugs to threaten supporters into smoke-filled rooms to cut a deal—no wonder he’s such a fan of NDAs. But it won’t work—we will vote to #FixProp47 on the ballot this November.

Today Governor Newsom’s Air Resources Board just voted to increase gas prices by at least 60¢ per gallon. I boycotted Newsom’s Special Session on Gas Prices because we know Sacramento is the problem, not the solution. Here’s some of what you missed during the special session that ended with higher gas prices.

This isn’t the first committee I’ve been removed from, and it will not be the last. Take my committees. Kill my bills. Call me names. I don’t care. I will never stop fighting for a better California. If you want a better life, and more liberty, vote Republican!

🚨 BREAKING: Next week I will force a vote on the floor of the California State Assembly to end sanctuary protections for illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors. Why does CA law protect pedophiles from deportation?? foxnews.com/politics/califor…

WILDFIRE SPECIAL SESSION UPDATE: Today I introduced a wildfire legislative package which will cut bureaucratic red tape to help FIREPROOF our state. These are 3 common sense proposals that will protect our communities and the environment from future wildfires 🧵:

As a California legislator I am demanding the Costal Commission immediately hand over its internal communications. It’s completely unacceptable that politics played any role in their decision to deny @SpaceX application.

Mr Speaker, as a sign of good will can we dispense with our special session next week to “Trump-proof” California? President Trump has shown California tremendous grace, we ought to do the same.

How about tax credits for hard working Californians? Car registration fees are over $600 alone. Unaffordable.

California democrats love illegal immigration so much they offer many incentives for them to come here. Today, the Assembly just voted to give illegal immigrants free down payment assistance (up to $150k) to buy a house a new home. Thats on top of providing free health care and free college tuition. Does it even mean anything to be a citizen anymore? I spoke in strong opposition to this backwards policy, and now Gavin Newsom will decide whether to sign it into law. I hope all California voters are watching what’s happing up here.

This is 100% misleading and demonstratively false. The bill Governor Newsom signed does the following: ALLOWS schools to hide information about students. They’re playing a word game with “official records” and are not telling you that schools maintain “unofficial records” to allow a student to be called a different name and change their gender preference at school without parental consent. ALLOWS students to use opposite sex bathrooms and play on opposite sex sports without parental approval or notification. ALLOWS politically motivated teachers to teach radical general ideology to kids as young as kindergarten and brainwash students to not tell parents about the curriculum under the notion that parents will hurt the kids. There is ZERO evidence this is happening. OVERRIDES local school board policies that mandate parental notification when a student wants to change their unofficial records, or use opposite gender facilities and sports. @elonmusk is absolutely correct, these policies will further drive parents and companies out of CA and students out of public schools.

This is how the real Sacramento works. The swamp protects itself. Today I attempted to force a vote on my DUI legislation, which would strip legislators of their state cars when they get a DUI. The motion requires a second from my Republican colleague to call a vote. He refused to second in order to save the democrats from having to go on record. I doubt his voters sent him to Sacramento who to protect democrats, but alas here we are.

🚨@GavinNewsom’s $50 million to @RobBonta to “Trump-Proof” CA could be used to defend CRIMINAL illegal immigrants from deportation. His staff did everything to avoid my questions and Democrats pretend they don’t want to protect criminal illegal aliens—if that’s true they will welcome an amendment to guarantee that not a dollar will be spent to defend criminal illegal immigrants.

When the Lieutenant Governor of the largest state in the nation pressures the Secretary of State to unilaterally remove a candidate for President from our ballot, we cannot be silent. This attack on our democracy violates our Constitution and decades of case law. We are a government of the People, by the People, and for the People. The People must be free to elect the candidate of their choice without interference.

No, Senator. I love my state so much that I want to protect our citizens from criminal illegal alien rapists who are shielded by sanctuary laws that you passed. Congress uses its purse strings to influence state policies all the time. California will not lose a penny if it comes into compliance with federal law.

California is falling apart while Gavin Newsom is busy hosting a podcast. We don’t need another wannabe commentator—we need a governor. Maybe instead of chasing clout, he should try actually running the state he was elected to lead. If Newsom wants to prove he can be anything more than the governor of a failing state, how about starting with the basics: DO YOUR JOB.

Every Democrat in the California Assembly just voted against protecting girls in sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms. Very unfair to our girls! Any thoughts @GavinNewsom ?

Happening Now: As Dems prepare to pass $50 million to Trump proof California, Republicans are ready to get them on record on whether this money will be used for criminal illegal immigrants. Dems have retreated to strategize on how to handle. They’re panicking.

Our Founders rightly warned of the tyranny of the majority. A tyrannical majority will strip the People of their voice in government if it threatens their regime. Democrats in Sacramento have stripped me of my committees, killed my bills, and constantly cut my mic because I am a threat to their tyrannical rule over the People. The more they try to stop us the more committed I am to fighting Sacramento. “The accumulation of all powers, Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary, in the same hands…may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” -James Madison

President Trump was overwhelmingly elected with a mandate to ENFORCE our laws and protect American citizens. Instead of working with the President, today Sacramento Democrats approved $50 million to bring frivolous lawsuits. This defies all common sense especially when Californians are still suffering from one of the most devastating wildfires in history.

We just got word that the democrats in Sacramento are postponing tomorrow's special session to Trump-proof California. Are they finally responding to the public's demand to stop playing politics and focus on the fires, or is this a temporary delay? Too soon to tell...

Who wants to tell her that there are other countries that export coffee, not just Columbia.

The only misinformation out there is you, @CAgovernor . This fire could have been mitigated with common sense policies. We didn’t clear the brush, we didn’t remove the dead wood, we don’t have sufficient infrastructure and water resources. That’s on YOU.

This is insanity. We have hard working Californians struggling to buy homes and Sacramento Democrats want to spend our tax dollars helping illegal immigrants buy homes! Who do these legislators represent??

This is stunning. Talk is cheap @GavinNewsom. Why don’t you support my bill AB 844 to reverse CA’s law allowing boys to compete in girls sports? You’re the Governor, not a commentator!

BREAKING: Kamala Harris gave an illegal alien rapist a sweetheart plea deal. He raped an American woman, had prior convictions for domestic violence, and was in the country illegally. Rather than throwing the book at him, Kamala gave him the lowest possible sentence.

It’s a fact that California allows non-citizens to register to vote and does nothing to stop them. I asked important questions at the elections committee hearing about how we are going to validate citizenship status before registering a voter, and this is the reaction I got from the Democrat Party in Sacramento. The DMV previously admitted that they allowed non-citizens to register to vote. And the worst part is they wrote the law so that anyone who registers to vote through the DMV is IMMUNE from prosecution. They have effectively legalized fraud. They don’t like being asked important questions in a public setting. They prefer to make policy behind closed doors and using NDAs. What are they afraid of?

Newsom is pushing us to pass these bills tomorrow. We will be forcing a vote on an amendment to clarify that not a DOLLAR will be spent to protect criminal illegal immigrants from deportation. There should be no reason for any democrat to oppose adding that language.

The California Capitol was stormed today by radical leftists. They’re yelling “shut it down” which is a direct attempt to obstruct official proceedings. No word yet from DOJ on how many have been indicted for insurrection. I’ll wait…

The idea that we would use our tax dollars to defend criminal illegal immigrants is outrageous. How about we use that money to support the victims of the crimes committed by illegal immigrants?!

Why are democrats working so hard to stop Voter ID? California just passed a Voter ID ban which makes no sense.

In California you don’t need to prove citizenship to register to vote—that’s why some communities like Huntington Beach have implemented voter ID to protect our elections from fraud and illegal immigrants voting. But Democrats like Senator Dave Min want to continue to allow illegal immigrants to register to vote—that’s why I’m proposing an amendment to his #SB1174 to clearly prohibit noncitizens from voting in our elections. In a Democracy, nothing is more sacred than the integrity of the People’s vote. Every Democrat in the Capitol will have an opportunity to make their position known with regard to prohibiting noncitizens from voting. Stay tuned.

ALERT: For the first time since 1992, republicans in California picked up a seat in the state legislature during a presidential cycle. There might be a second seat coming, but that race is still too close to call.

🚨Urgent Legislative Announcement🚨 Today I am introducing legislation to end California's Sanctuary State for illegal immigrant pedophiles. #AB2641 will require law enforcement to comply with federal immigration authorities in cases involving illegals convicted of child sex crimes.

A court order is an ORDER, not a request. The ongoing illegal Pennsylvania ballot counting is going to haunt @JoshShapiroPA and complicit Democrats like Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia who should be arrested for breaking the law. #LockHerUp Meanwhile California still has over 600,000 uncounted ballots — we need voter ID and a complete overhaul of our elections system to restore confidence and public trust. @elonmusk @pnjaban @NRSC

WATCH: Governor Newsom’s office doubles-down on commitment to fund universal healthcare to illegal immigrants amid historic state budget deficit. I’m still waiting to hear how the Governor thinks adding 700,000 illegal immigrants to MediCal will improve California citizens’ access to healthcare.

I need your help to fuel my fight against the Sacramento Swamp that keeps protecting pedophiles ➡️ secure.anedot.com/essayli24/…

I need your help to fuel my fight against the Sacramento Swamp that keeps protecting pedophiles ➡️ essayliforassembly.com…

It’s not free. Hard working Californians are paying the bill with their tax dollars!

This happens in CA all the time. Billions were given to “non profits” in the name of solving homelessness and there is nothing to show for it. #Scam

Here we go. Now the Dems have started attacking the press for daring to report the truth in Sacramento. Shameful.

OVERDUE: Today Governor Newsom announced a Special Session on wildfires after I urged him to last Wednesday. Now it’s time to pass reforms to FIREPROOF our state!

Next week we come back to Sacramento and begin dealing with a $60 billion deficit. We can start by rolling back taxpayer funded healthcare for illegal immigrants. This should not be controversial. Let’s take care of our own citizens before we care for citizens of other nations.

And we’re just getting started…

🚨 Important Prop 47 update! Today we defeated Governor Gavin Newsom and his fake ballot measure which would have attempted to confuse voters and block Prop 47 reform. This is a huge victory thanks to the pressure from the public to keep partisan politics out of public safety. Californians are ready to finally make crime illegal again.

When democrats claim CA doesn’t have money to keep us safe, build roads, or take care of our communities… show them this. Vote NO on every bond on the ballot this November. No more debit for irresponsible spending.

Sorry, but we have the receipts. When given the opportunity to support my motion to hear #AB2641 to end sanctuary state protections for pedophiles you refused to vote. You hid like a coward behind “procedure” and your silence enabled more of these abusers to avoid deportation.

It’s an honor to continue representing my community in Sacramento.

I will not participate in Gavin Newsom's latest publicity stunt calling for a special legislative session on gas prices to distract voters from his party’s failed policies. The party that’s been in control for 15 years in California is not going to all of a sudden solve the affordability crisis they created. Californians are suffering from the highest gas prices in the nation--and the truth is we already know why. Radical policies from Democrats in Sacramento and Gavin Newsom such as cap-and-trade, the low carbon fuel standard, and our highest gas tax in the nation give us the highest gas prices in the nation. Rather than reverse these, Gov. Newsom wants more taxes and regulations. Count me out.

Yet not a word from you about Biden pardoning convicted cop killers, criminally culpable politicians, and his own crime family. Hypocrisy doesn’t begin to describe you and your party.

CALIFORNIA COVERUP: NDAs have no business in the legislative process. The People have a right to know when Gavin Newsom’s major donor gets his Panera businesses exempted from a minimum wage bill. But NDAs between big business and labor unions shielded the negotiation process from the public. When trying to pass a bill to ban NDAs to stop this corruption, the Elections Committee today silenced me, cut my mic, and killed the bill. What are big lobbyists at @CalChamber trying to hide? Why won’t Democrats in the Assembly stop the use of NDAs?

AB 1333 is another attack on our Constitutional 2nd Amendment right to self-defense. The Castle Doctrine protects law-abiding citizens, not criminals. Weakening it puts families at risk.🧵 kcra.com/article/californias…

As a Member of the California Legislature, I stand in support of Texas and its right to defend itself. I will be officially asking @GavinNewsom to support Texas in this constitutional crisis caused by the Biden Administration’s refusal to enforce our federal immigration laws.

Democrats in Sacramento like to talk about defending democracy but they quickly shut down voices and views they disagree with. On the last night of session this year, my microphone was repeatedly cut off and finally the Speaker pro Tem stopped recognizing me altogether—silencing the nearly 500,000 constituents I represent. This is not democracy, this is not our constitutional republic, this is tyranny.

VICTORY: Today we blocked #AB2031, a dangerous proposal to protect dangerous criminal illegal immigrants from deportation, from advancing out of committee. Because of the pressure that we and the public put on the Democrats, they had no choice but to pull it. This is what an effective opposition party looks like. We cannot go along to get along with Democrats in Sacramento when our safety and fundamental rights are at stake. I will not be quiet in our fight to bring common sense to Sacramento.

California citizens are struggling to afford health care and Democrats in Sacramento want to spend $4 billion we don’t have to give free healthcare to illegal immigrants. This, despite the fact that California is facing a $70 billion deficit. That’s why the first bill I introduced this year was #AB1783 to revoke taxpayer funding for free healthcare for illegal immigrants. And that’s why today I’m announcing its companion bill #AB1995 which reappropriates the $4 billion funding to improve access to healthcare for California citizens. We must always take care of our citizens ahead of foreign citizens.

Welcome to the club! It’s a badge of honor when the super majority fears a couple truth speaking elected officials.

We should be solely focused on addressing the wildfire crisis. There is no reason for pushing this political stunt while California is burning. Sacramento democrats are completely tone deaf.

He is the single greatest threat to our democracy.

Newsom just signed this bill to OUTLAW Voter ID in California. This was the “hearing” on the bill. They know exactly what they’re doing but play dumb when called out.

Unbelievable. Illegal immigrant caught driving around raping woman in his van. Under our screwed up laws, California will go out of its way to protect him from deportation after he serves his sentence. We must repeal our sanctuary state policy. foxla.com/news/suspected-rap…
