When your supporters hold a rally, where they pledge allegiance to a flag that was flown at the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6. The biggest threat to our democracy in my lifetime. When you don`t separate yourselves from them…

I have no more campaigns to run. My only agenda... I know because I won both of them.

This vaccine means hope.

It won't just be an exercise in nostalgia or looking backwards. We want to look forward.

I don't believe it's inevitable that we succumb to paralysis or mutual hatred, or abandoned democracy in favor of systems that reserved power and privilege for the few.

I am endorsing Justin Trudeau to be reelected as Canadian prime minister.

Governor Newsom has spent the past year and a half protecting California communities. Now, Republicans are trying to recall him from office and overturn common sense COVID safety measures for health care workers and school staff. Your vote…

Hello Californians. you`ve got a big choice to make by September 14th. Governor Newsom has spent the past year and a half protecting California communities. Now, Republicans are trying to recall him from office and overturn common sense…

You can have differences of opinion, for instance, about how to deal with climate change. But how do you have a debate with someone who doesn’t believe that climate change is real and manmade.

We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We got better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve. And I`m confident we can solve, but we`re going to have to focus on them, not on this. We`re not…
