The winner of Trump’s war in Iran? China.
@mitchjackson If he’s intentionally interfering with a federal election in this manner, he should be criminally prosecuted.
The Congress and public education bureaucrats don’t know what skills employers will need in an AI-driven economy, but we can be certain that employers will know before we do. By incentivizing companies to invest in community colleges and state universities to build the talent pipelines they need, the SKILL Act will drive our success in an AI-driven economy by investing in people.
Trump’s priorities: make it harder to vote, harder to own a home
ICYMI: Donald Trump thinks “nobody gives a f*ck about housing.” He won’t sign the first big bipartisan housing bill in decades, until he can make it harder to vote before the midterm elections, because he just doesn’t care about affordability.

If the Trump Administration can shut down advanced AI models without explanation, then a kleptocratic regime becomes the unreviewable gatekeeper for a trillion-dollar industry. The public deserves to know what—if any—objective, transparent criteria guide this Administration’s
Congress is now asking four polite-but-deadly questions: Did you even tell Anthropic first? Normally you give a company a chance to fix the problem before you nuke them. Did you? Is this actually unique to Anthropic? Because if GPT-5.5 can do the same thing and the cybersecurity world says it can, why is only Anthropic being punished? Did you follow the law? The shortcut you used has rules. Did you actually meet them, or did you skip steps? What’s the actual evidence? You said “military intelligence end use.” Prove it. Show your working. Translation: we think you broke the rules, picked on one company, and we want to see the receipts by Friday.
Congress just dropped a bomb on the Anthropic ban Four members of Congress request an explanation of Howard W. Lutnick's export ban against Claude Fable no later than 26th June Here's few questions they are asking: - Was Anthropic even given a chance to fix it before you

You deserve to know why Trump shut down Anthropic’s model

Workers deserve policies that help them succeed in the AI economy. We’re proud to endorse @RepLiccardo's SKILL Act, which would provide tax incentives for companies to partner with community colleges and public universities on workforce training, internships, apprenticeships, and applied learning. politico.com/news/2026/06/2…
How we win in an age of AI: Invest in people.
We cannot know what skills our employers will seek a decade from now, but we can be certain that employers will identify those next-generation skills before the government does. The SKILL Act incentives private sector employers to invest in local community colleges and state
Silicon Valley’s rep in Congress leading the charge on AI:
We need transparent, consistent rules governing AI. Uncertainty undermines trust. When the Trump Administration suddenly suspends a frontier AI model, the public deserves a clear explanation of the standards it applies, and the risks it seeks to address. That's why I’m leading a

BREAKING: I just released my closing ad. Watch and chip-in to keep us on the air!
Read it here (gift link): mercurynews.com/2026/05/27/end…
Altwer, on the other hand? "Able to address district concerns while helping solve citywide problems." "Represents neither the status quo nor a radical break from it." "Altwer made clear she is committed to being a good steward of the public purse."
MERCURY NEWS ENDORSEMENT: San Jose needs a blight fighter. Elect @GennyAltwer to City Council. Editorial board describes opponents: "too vague" "idealist at a moment when we need a pragmatist" "offered few new ideas"
“Worth your serious consideration is San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, a policy savant with data-driven ideas on mental health and homelessness. Mahan has done an excellent job stewarding California’s third-largest city.”
OPINION: With Newsom’s presidential run sucking up the media oxygen, California needs a governor with ideas to solve problems. The editorial board says there are two candidates worth considering. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Matt should be the next governor, obviously.
This is unacceptable. And as a former middle school teacher, I won't settle until California makes change on education. Read my plan to bring accountability back to the classroom: MahanForCalifornia.com/education
