Climate change is an important problem we must solve through global collaboration, innovation, and continued efforts to reduce emissions. But we must put human welfare and resilience at the center of our climate strategies and funding. Read this very important memo from

Mayor @daniellurie is right! Under his leadership and DA @brookejenkinsSF, crime in SF is at record lows and the City is already working in partnership with state & federal law enforcement to get fentanyl off our streets. We don't need National Guard deployment in our City. It

As your mayor, my top priority every single day is keeping San Francisco safe. With the support of local law enforcement, community leaders, and the appropriate federal law enforcement partners, we’re achieving that goal without compromising our values or our laws. As a result,

Powerful and thoughtful words from a great philanthropic leader @laurenepowell in today's @WSJ. True philanthropy is about helping other people, NOT the donor! "The most effective giving empowers existing institutions, supports local leadership and creates space for communities

True generosity flows quietly to communities that already know what they need, building capacity not dependency.

Today, @ekindogus and I are excited to introduce @periodiclabs. Our goal is to create an AI scientist. Science works by conjecturing how the world might be, running experiments, and learning from the results. Intelligence is necessary, but not sufficient. New knowledge is

Really important to see @OpenAI under @sama prioritizing teen safety over growth. A good standard being set for the whole space. Setting the teen safety model as the default for users is a BIG deal. We can build AI informed by our values. That is up to US!  https://t.co/ntPY2Clea5

Very powerful to see OpenAI announcing that they will be funding their not for profit IN EXCESS OF $100 BILLION DOLLARS. This is such a HUGE opportunity for California. To put that in perspective, it would make the nonprofit the second largest in the world (and as the company

When Texas moves to change the rules and rig the midterm elections to keep one political party in power forever, none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines. I'm proud to support CA Prop 50 this November 4th -- the Election Rigging Response Act. Please join me!

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

We don't want policies that lead to more people leaving the state than coming in. We don't want to see the next great generation of companies born here and want to stay here — like an OpenAI — moving to places like Texas because CA laws and regulations make it too hard to just do

I am excited to be part of @LeadingFutureAI. AI is so important it transcends Democrats and Republicans — it is in America’s interest to lead. The only thing that stands in America’s way are bad policies that will cause America to lose its lead to China. We have to PLAY TO WIN.
