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.
The AI industry has focused on running faster, but no human wins a race to superintelligence that exceeds human control. By establishing red lines now, we can avoid the need for red phones later.
Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast to those observing. May this sacred day of reflection and renewal bring peace and meaning to you and your loved ones.
Silicon Valley knows a good idea can start anywhere, including with a student and a laptop.
On #NationalAppChallengeDay, I’m calling on young coders across our community to build something new and enter the 2026 Congressional App Challenge by October 26. Learn more:
On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor every service member who endured captivity and every hero who never came home. We stand with their families, continue seeking answers and renew our promise: America leaves no one behind.
Enkutatash! Last weekend, I joined San José’s Ethiopian community to celebrate the New Year and recognize Ethiopian Community Services for all it does across our community.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
On Constitution Day, we honor a document that protects our rights as Americans and limits presidential power.

No president stands above the Constitution.
Attention young innovators! California’s next big idea could come from you.
The Westly Prize will award up to $145,000 to young Californians tackling real challenges in their communities.
If you’re under 28 with an idea that can make a difference, apply by October 16:

Over 100 of my colleagues and I just demanded that Speaker Johnson cancel our seven week “vacation” so we can pass meaningful AI safeguards. Republican leadership responded to this firestorm by canceling tomorrow’s votes. You can’t make this up.
A Putin-linked Russian oligarch paid for two nights of Donald Trump Jr.’s post-wedding celebrations.
Just your average “America First” wedding gift.
The gold squares represent each day Congress voted.
Wouldn’t you love a job where you only work seven days in three months?
While we're seeing this firestorm of concern throughout the country around AI safety, Speaker Johnson fiddling. At least Nero had the decency to stay in town while Rome burned.
Democracy works best when everyone participates. On National Voter Registration Day, register to vote, check your status, and make a plan for November. Your voice matters, and your vote counts. registertovote.ca.gov
