Publicizing executions won't make our communities safer. Research suggests it could do the opposite, increasing violence and desensitizing people to brutality. We should focus on reducing violence, not putting executions on display.

Yesterday, I joined our neighbors at Jewish Silicon Valley in Los Gatos and the Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto to mourn and remember the more than 1,200 men, women, and children murdered in Israel on October 7th, and the many taken hostage by Hamas.

We didn't sit down with the USSR during the cold war because with them, we sat down with them because we needed to avoid mutual annihilation. By establishing red lines with the Chinese now, we can avoid the need for red phones later.

After a tsunami warning and separate lockdown left Sunset Ridge Elementary teacher Rebecca Slater's students stuck in classrooms without food, she rallied local businesses, the Pacifica Lions Club, and families to stock every classroom with emergency snacks. 🧵⬇️

We need AI experts in the United States to be able to talk to their counterparts in China to forge shared safety metrics, rigorous evaluation protocols, standardized testing, and critical verification mechanisms.

If we develop the red lines today, we can avoid having to use the red phones later.

If we want global AI safeguards, we need American experts talking to their Chinese counterparts.

We don’t talk to the Chinese because we trust them or agree with them; we shouldn’t and don’t. We talk to the Chinese because—as with the USSR during the Cold War—all of our lives depend on it.

On Constitution Day, we honor a document that protects our rights as Americans and limits presidential power. President Trump swore to “preserve, protect and defend” it. Yet when asked whether he must uphold it, he answered, “I don’t know.” No president stands above the Constitution.

Your retirement savings should stay yours. Former Oxnard Mayor John Zaragoza gets exactly why I introduced the bipartisan SAFER Act. Californians shouldn’t lose control of their retirement savings simply because an account goes untouched for a few years. Worth a read:

Florida is entering peak hurricane season as FEMA faces critical staffing shortages. Nearly 7,000 employees have left in less than two year and has just 240 surge workers ready to help in an emergency—60% fewer than last year. But don’t worry. Donald Trump will bring paper towels.

Children at the Dilley Trailer Prison report unsafe water, a lack of basic medical care, moldy food, and months of detention. No child should suffer in ICE custody. I joined more than 110 colleagues demanding the Trump administration shut down Dilley and free these families.
