AI should expand opportunity, not come at the expense of workers. That's why I just signed first-in-the-nation laws to protect California workers as businesses adopt AI.
Governor Newsom signs new, first-in-the-nation protections for California workers, creating stronger safeguards for AI involvement in healthcare and building stronger trust and transparency for people using AI.

Eric Schmitt fucked up so badly today that even The New York Times isn't mincing words on how badly he fucked up.
NYT Headline: As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falls Apart

Subhed: A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
