In June, when we debuted the first official portrait of President and Mrs. Obama at the Obama Presidential Center Museum, the world went wild for the story of how Michelle Obama had long hoped to collaborate with renowned artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and how deeply the experience moved Crosby.

As part of my first-in-the-nation executive order on AI, my administration just launched a dashboard to track signs of job loss from AI and better support workers who might be impacted. California won’t just watch this emerging technology from the sidelines, we’re going to act.

My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

I'm excited to join legislative leaders in announcing a proposed state constitutional amendment to double how much California can save in our rainy day fund. With the rollercoaster economic changes we've seen recently, the Save for California’s Future Act is common sense.

Gov. Newsom: Trump himself said that he won the election in California. Can't make that one up. I'm not talking about January 6th, the fact he pardoned all those folks that were beating up cops. And absolved them, providing them $1.776 billion dollars. Not only do you get a pardon, you get rewarded.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

While Trump wastes $1 BILLION of our taxpayer dollars, California is funding family-first programs. The Golden State Start program will provide 400 free diapers to every newborn in the state, rolling out in hospitals this summer.

Sush fund billed as a means of giving reparations to any American wrongly persecuted by the government then Blacks, Native Americans should file ASAP. Jim Crow, forced Reservations were weponized against there folks for decades.

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

Let’s be clear: LA fire survivors who lost their homes shouldn’t have to pay property taxes based on a value of a property that no longer exists. Today my office urged LA County to offer clarity and assurance for these impacted survivors so that they can continue to defer payments without penalty.

The Trump Administration AGAIN just gave companies almost A BILLION DOLLARS in taxpayer money to abandon clean energy projects and line Big Oil's pockets. Donald Trump is forcing Americans to pay more for energy and sabotaging our future.

Los Angeles Times: "Trump administration pays wind developer to walk away from California offshore lease"

As we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary, it is clear more than ever that we need nationwide reforms to ensure our founding ideals and the greatest experiment in democracy on earth makes it another 250 years.

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal. We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

If the Trump Administration truly cared about the health of the American people — or the overdose crisis it so often invokes — it would follow what works, fund what saves and stop pulling the ground out from under communities. 🔗 Read more: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
