Not his only infuriating veto.
The governor of America’s biggest blue state — now running for the Dem presidential nomination — helped tech oligarchs by vetoing Dem legislation to require those oligarchs to be able to shut off their AI if it gets out of control.
I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how big a story this is.

Just called my Congress members to urge them to speak out against this! Hope you’ll join me! Requiring immigrants on a visa to leave within 24 hours after losing a job is outrageous! People have families, kids in school, houses, caretaking responsibilities, and more.
“If the regulation is finalized as proposed, covered workers would generally begin failing to maintain their immigration status the day after their qualifying employment ends unless they have another legal basis to remain in the United States.”👀

![“I met with this [Haitian] guy who has a 1-year-old, and he was apprehended after ICE spotted him at a gas station in Springfield, around late August,” Kersh told me. “I was asking him questions at Butler County [jail], and he talked about how he came here: He got an appointment through a church or something like that [when President Joe Biden was in office]. He met with Border Patrol, and they sat him down and shook his hand. And then his voice broke. Through tears, he said: ‘They shook my hand and they said, ‘Welcome to the United States,’ and yesterday they arrested me.’ He’s just crying. He had to stop for a good solid minute to catch himself. To me, that really encapsulated the confusion and fear for so many people now. They were welcomed into this country and now the same agency is arresting them and throwing them in jail.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nwyrw3oavwreltnsatihnvvg/bafkreiboftylhdzvcxt2zh5i5poh6re4meq2gee3psbzvulc4ci5ujcoii)
