WE VOTED YES on CA 50. We Passed the Election Rigging Response Act in California. And the Supreme Court said Yes! We can use the new maps! Donald Trump was not allowed to steal the next election by redrawing maps in red states only.

Governor Newsom Explains What This is About...


I've heard the calls to "Do Something!" And I agree. I don’t want to go to another candlelight vigil. I don’t want to hold hands. It's time for action. Concrete action.

And God help us if we're not successful. We may have enjoyed our last free and fair election. They're redrawing districts to hold the House; going after ActBlue and Democrats' ability to fundraise; going after colleges and the free press... We have to act.

This is going to be a big week.

In Texas, it looks like Republicans will pass their new maps.

Here in California, our legislature will put a special election on the ballot for November where the people will vote on our maps.

They don't need a vote of the people in Texas. In California, people will vote. It will be a close election. Republicans will spend more than $100 million to beat us.

So before this week ends and a critical new one begins - I am asking one last time:

Please make a contribution to help me pass the Election Rigging Response Act in California. If you've given before, please give once more. If you haven't given yet, now is when I need you most. We cannot afford to lose this election.

RFK Jr is not only crazy, he's dangerous! Millions of Americans could die because of his actions... Arrest him and lock him up! #5150

Dr David Elliman, UCL, said: “This is a very worrying development. mRNA vaccines were an extremely important tool in saving the lives of people from COVID. There is no reliable published evidence that supports RFK Jr’s assertion that the vaccines encourage new mutations and, in so doing, may prolong pandemics. The evidence to support this should be made public, so that it can be examined...

California Democrats Unite to Defend Democracy, Counter Trump’s Power Grab...

SACRAMENTO – Today, the California Democratic Party (CADEM) voted to officially endorse the Election Rigging Response Act, Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats proposed statewide ballot measure designed to counter efforts by President Donald Trump and Texas Republicans to rig the 2026 election.

Trump and Texas Republicans are making an unprecedented power grab by manipulating district boundaries to steal congressional seats before voting even begins. Other GOP-controlled states are preparing to follow suit. California won’t sit on the sidelines while Republicans try to rig the system—we’re fighting back to protect our democracy.

Top 10 reasons for voting against Republicans.

Economic concerns:

Tax cuts favoring the wealthy: Critics contend that Republican tax cuts, such as the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, primarily benefit the wealthiest individuals and corporations while increasing the national debt. A 2025 analysis of proposed Project 2025 economic policies suggested it would shift the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class.

Harm to social safety nets: Opponents argue that Republican plans to cut social spending would harm millions of Americans who rely on programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some proposals aim to reduce assistance to low- and moderate-income families to finance tax cuts for the wealthy.

Fiscal irresponsibility: 

Some fiscal conservatives and others criticize the Republican Party for large deficits and increasing the national debt, despite campaigning on fiscal discipline.

Social and domestic policy concerns: 

Restrictions on abortion access: The overturning of Roe v. Wade and subsequent state-level bans have energized voters who oppose Republican efforts to restrict abortion access. For many, a candidate's stance on abortion is a key factor in their vote.

Climate change denial and environmental policy: The Republican Party is frequently criticized for its skeptical approach to climate change, its promotion of fossil fuels, and its opposition to renewable energy initiatives. Critics argue these policies ignore scientific consensus and will lead to severe environmental consequences.

Threats to civil liberties: 

Critics of proposals like Project 2025 argue they pose a threat to civil liberties and the separation of church and state. A specific concern is the suggested removal of protections for transgender students from Title IX.

Concerns about democracy and governance: Undermining democratic institutions: Actions and rhetoric that question the legitimacy of elections have led many to vote against Republicans out of concern for the health of American democracy. This includes supporting candidates who promote election misinformation.

Erosion of checks and balances: 

Critics argue that proposals to increase executive power, such as firing civil service employees and eliminating government departments, would erode the system of checks and balances and lead to a more authoritarian government.

Divisive rhetoric and political polarization: Opponents express concern that Republican leaders have increasingly employed divisive rhetoric that fuels political polarization and delegitimizes political opponents.

Foreign policy and immigration concerns: 

Foreign policy and alliances: Some argue that a "restrainer" or "isolationist" foreign policy could weaken relationships with allies, embolden adversaries, and create global instability. Critics also express concern about the potential for unilateral action without congressional approval.
Harsh immigration policies: Opponents argue against certain Republican immigration policies, viewing them as excessively punitive towards immigrants and harmful to families. Some express concern that policies could undermine immigrants' contributions to the economy and communities.
