NEW: CALIFORNIA HOMELESSNESS DOWN TWO YEARS IN A ROW
California’s preliminary 2026 results show a 7.3% drop in unsheltered homelessness and a 4.1% drop in total homelessness. Proof that building housing, expanding treatment and shelter, and increasing accountability works.

Preparing for El Niño means acting before storms hit. Here's how we're moving faster to get critical flood and storm protection projects underway ⬇️
Under @CAgovernor Newsom's emergency action, certain state laws can be suspended for qualifying work, helping streamline permitting and environmental review, accelerate floodwater diversion efforts and remove barriers that could delay projects protecting people and communities.
We're also partnering with the @CA_Trans_Agency to identify vulnerable stretches of Highway 1 and advance protections for the coastal communities that depend on this vital route.

🌊 King Tides are continuing to impact California’s coastline through Friday, with coastal flooding already reported across the state.
As El Niño impacts continue, coastal communities should stay alert and prepare for changing conditions.
⚠️ Cal OES urges residents and visitors to:
- Stay out of the water and away from dangerous surf.
- Never drive around barricades or through flooded roads.
- Avoid flooded areas and never enter water of unknown depth.
- Monitor local advisories and take precautions to protect people and property.
Stay informed and check the latest forecasts and warnings at weather.gov.

CNN: As the Pacific overheats, coastlines are taking a beating. What the Governor signed today is an executive order that would free up communities to get earthmovers and heavy bulldozers down on the sand in a matter of hours — instead of sometimes months — which require public meetings and environmental reviews and all of that.
@CAGovernor Gavin Newsom: This is an affordability crisis. This is literally at the core of so many things that that frustrate us and concern us. And I just pray that people start paying attention to what the hell is going on and what we can do about it, because we still have agency, we can still solve this issue.

"Keeping communities safe means taking action before a storm arrives. Cal OES is putting the Governor’s emergency proclamation into action by leading coordination among state agencies, preparing resources, and supporting our local partners. Together, we’re working to protect vital routes like Highway 1, which coastal communities depend on to evacuate safely, connect with essential services, and receive help during emergencies." - Cal OES Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs
I just issued two executive orders to bolster protections along our coasts — and around Highway 1 — ahead of potentially dangerous El Niño storms.
We're proactively putting state agencies to work to guard against possible storm damage and road closures.

Thanks to @CAgovernor’s action, we’re moving faster than ever to prepare for El Niño.
This includes working around the clock with local, state and federal partners to protect our communities – from reinforcing key portions of our Pacific Coast Highway to speeding approvals for flood and storm safety projects.

California continues to lead. Many of our innovative efforts to fight benefit theft, including the implementation of chip-and-tap EBT cards, will soon become the model for the nation.

Debido a que se pronostica el fenómeno de El Niño para este invierno, es fundamental prepararse desde ahora.
✅ Conoce tu riesgo: Mantente al tanto del pronóstico del tiempo y las alertas locales. Confirma si vives en una zona propensa a inundaciones o incendios forestales.
🎒 Prepárate: Ten listo un kit de emergencia, planifica las rutas de evacuación y asegúrate de incluir a tus mascotas en tu plan.
🚨 Actúa: Sigue las instrucciones de las autoridades locales y evacúa cuando te lo indiquen. ¡Nunca conduzcas por aguas de inundación! Mantente informado en weather.gov.

🎒 Be prepared: Keep an emergency kit ready, plan evacuation routes, and account for pets.
🚨 Take action: Follow local officials’ instructions and evacuate when ordered. Never drive through floodwaters! Stay informed at Weather.gov.

Any credible allegation of voter fraud should be taken seriously and investigated.
That being said, the action by Trump’s DOJ — charging just 28 individuals — suggests they have no evidence to back up their claims just last week of TENS or HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of illegally registered voters.
Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters.
If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.
