Governor Newsom issues executive order to accelerate independent oversight and advance the creation of an AI kill switch
With Donald Trump and Congress asleep at the wheel, Governor Gavin Newsom is once again taking the lead to strengthen AI safety for all Americans. Today, the Governor issued an executive order to dramatically accelerate the implementation of new third-party oversight of safety and security risks in AI systems, as well as independent audits.
The executive order convenes a group of world-leading experts to provide, within two months, a guide for California to reinforce and strengthen its AI safety and security laws. Proposals under consideration include requiring independent third parties to write safety plans for frontier AI companies, as well as requiring companies to develop an emergency shutoff, or âkill switch,â for frontier models.

Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.

Five Takeaways From Francesca Hongâs Near-Win in Wisconsin
Francesca Hong, the democratic socialist running in the Democratic primary for the Wisconsin governorâs race, lost last night in an extremely close election. She came within half a percentage point of beating David Crowley, the executive of Milwaukee County.

Single Mom. Restaurant Worker. Chef.
Progressives could score a huge Wisconsin win Tuesday. Some national figures donât want to touch it.
And other leaders say they arenât familiar with who she is, underscoring the work Hong has ahead of her if she wins Tuesday.
âI donât know her,â Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a brief hallway interview.
Sanders has said he would not endorse Hong and declined to comment when asked by POLITICO about the race last Friday on Capitol Hill.
âThinking He Can Fool Everyone,â Newsom Backs One Billionaires Tax But Not Another

âThe misdirect here is that Newsom is opposing a WEALTH tax on billionaires in his own state and insisting he supports a new national INCOME tax on billionaires. But billionaires make money off non-income sources.â

Gavin Newsom moves to neutralize tax on billionaires
(January 12, 2026)
The conversations, reported here for the first time, have occurred intermittently for months as SEIU-UHWâs ballot initiative targeting billionaires migrated from the backrooms of California politics to the center of a raging debate about Silicon Valley and income inequality, sparking tech titansâ wrath and vows to move out of state.
âWeâve been at this for four months,â Newsom said in an interview with POLITICO, describing an âall-handsâ effort that has included him meeting one-on-one with SEIU-UHWâs leader, Dave Regan.
A compromise does not appear imminent. A union official cast doubt on the possibility of a deal, saying the two sides do not currently have another meeting scheduled and framing a ballot fight as an inevitability.
If Californiaâs race for governor is a stress test for democracy, itâs failing
Electoral reforms are necessary but insufficient. The deeper problem is not the ballot â it is the collapse of the organized civic life that once connected voters to the institutions that govern them. Rebuilding that infrastructure is not a workaround. It is the most important work we can be doing today, not just for California but for America.

Statement by Governor Sherrill on NJDOH Inspection of Delaney Hall
(May 28, 2026)
âThe New Jersey Department of Health today sought to conduct a health inspection of Delaney Hall, but it was denied full access and was allowed to inspect only a limited part of the facility. We will review and share the Departmentâs findings from the limited portion it was allowed to inspect, and we will continue to pursue all appropriate avenues for demanding transparency and ensuring humane conditions for the individuals being held at the facility.
âAs Iâve said repeatedly, refusing to provide full access raises serious questions about what ICE is trying to hide from public view.
âNew Jersey believes in the rule of law, will uphold the Constitution, and Delaney Hall should be closed down. I am calling for ICE to immediately de-escalate the situation as I continue working to keep New Jersey residents safe.â

Tom Steyer for Governor of California
Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.
This is also about winning.
In a high-stakes race where Republicans could take the top spot, consolidating behind a candidate who is both values-aligned and building momentum is essential. Our organizers on the ground in California are seeing real energy around Steyer for Governor â and that grassroots engagement helped drive this decision.
