GavinNewsom says ex wife became "a right-wing personality because "she fell prey" to the culture at Fox News. Kind of like he "fell prey" to PGE and other CA #utilities and ended rooftop #solar success story on their behalf. #utilities #cleanenergy #solar #climatechange

CA Senator Lena Gonzalez is right. "Last year we just spent over $54 billion on climate action (in the state budget),” Gonzalez told me, “and yet we’re still investing over $11 billion of our pension funds in fossil fuel companies. It makes no sense. It just makes us look like hypocrites.” #LenaGonzalez #ClimateChange #california https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/garofoli-climate-pensions-17774661.php

The only positive (in a way) feature of this #Republican controlled House of Representatives is that its constant grossness will make it easy for me to stay motivated to work on behalf of #RuleOfLaw and for #Democratic candidates across the country throughout the next two years. We have to preserve state legislatures, the US Senate, state executive offices (governor, attorney general, sec of state, etc.) and the U.S. presidency from this criminal, cruel, ignorant cult.
