Remembering when CARS President Rosemary Shahan, Cally Houck, and Carl Nienaber honored CA Senator @BarbaraBoxer for her vital role in winning passage of the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act. BRAVO!!! 👍👍

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

Thanks to the efforts of @californialabor, AI billionaires trying to buy their way into Sacramento and Washington, D.C. had a bad night last night. California voters resoundingly voted for pro-worker candidates who will fight for strong AI guardrails! Now on to the November General Election!

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

MAGA hates working people.

It’s a disgrace that nearly 20 GOP states still have a $7.25 minimum wage.

In California, it’s $25 an hour for an entire sector of workers! As it should be.

Is this legal? Seems very sneaky, even for #Tesla. #Musk #FSD #scams @TeslaTakedown @TeslaWhistlebl2 @Keith_Laing

[Electrek.co @ElectrekCo]

Tesla has retroactively modified FSD purchase agreements to add "supervised" language that did not exist when owners originally bought the product.

Electrek has confirmed with multiple owners.

In some cases, the original contracts have been made entirely inaccessible from owners' Tesla accounts.

Surprised?? #Tesla #autonomous #vehicles #safety @TeslaTakedown @TeslaWhistlebl2 @Ctr4AutoSafety

[Reuters @Reuters]

Before Tesla’s public displays of its autonomous capability, including a robotaxi pilot in Texas, staffers mapped routes and trained the software on specific hazards to make the self-driving technology appear more capable than it really is https://t.co/Zkh01RrR8d @specialreports

Thank you @BenAllenCA for standing up for #California consumers and their families and communities!

#StateFarm #insurance #scams

[Ben Allen @BenAllenCA]

Really glad to see this finally moving many months after we called for this investigation, which has now definitively shown what we’ve known for a long time—that State Farm behaved atrociously with so many fire survivors. They must be held accountable. https://t.co/q1a99veObg

Live in #California? Some good news on the #affordability front....

[Senator Ben Allen @SenBenAllen]

Trump has been driving an affordability crisis. In CA, we're following through on our commitment to put residents first. Utility ratepayers will receive a total of $1.4B in credits this year, with the first round beginning this month.

GREAT news for #California's rural population, their families, and communities. BRAVO!! 👏👏 @CAgovernor #affordability

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

Today, California is delivering on our promise to turn on the LARGEST public broadband network in the nation — and proving it works.

The Bishop Paiute Tribe is the first community connected via their own tribally-owned internet provider.

This happens all too often. Some manufacturers provide safe loaner cars, but @Ford and @Stellantis are among the worst when it comes to long delays with no parts and no safe loaner. @ConsumerReports

[John Matarese @JohnMatarese]

Hundreds of thousands of pickup truck owners have been notified of a serious brake system recall… but there are no parts to fix it. What can you do? https://t.co/TtObFWJbdp @WCPO @wptv @tampabay28 @wxyzdetroit @WEWS @KSHB41 @DenverChannel @StellantisNA #ramtruck @CARFAXinc

Kudos to @ryanfelton for warning about this deadly scam. One way to reduce the risk of being victimized: check https://t.co/oAcyZSLsU5 before you buy a used car. If it's there, UH-OH. Not the whole story, but a serious red flag.

'Tis the season for scammers. Don't fall for scams that try to get you to panic and send $$ to a stranger. Older consumers are often targeted. @AARP #ScamWarning

[FTC @FTC]

No one at the FTC will ever tell you to move your money to protect it. Only a scammer will ask you to do that. FTC Chairman @AFergusonFTC explains how FTC impersonator scams work so you can spot and avoid them:

Buyer BEWARE: @Meta and other online retailers fail to screen out STOLEN cars. YIKES!! Great reporting by @juliewattsTV and @CBSNews @CBSSacramento. https://t.co/Fi1nGyfTJM @NCLC4consumers @ConsumerFed @ConsumerReports

Honored to join @SenBenAllen, author of the #California Combating Auto Retail Scams (CARS) Act at @UCBerkeley Law. Democracy in action!! Making new & used cars way more affordable. @ConsumerReports @ConsumerFed @ErinWitteCFA @chuckbell @NCLC4consumers

[Senator Ben Allen @SenBenAllen]

Spoke to @UCBerkeley law students about our recently signed CARS Act - a nation-leading consumer protection law for car buyers.

Thanks to stronger transparency requirements, add-on disclosures, and a right to return, this is estimated to save CA car shoppers $200M annually!

[Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety @AutoSafety4All]

@Ford safety recall disaster. No wonder Ford is attacking #California's auto lemon law, in a brazen attempt to reduce warranty costs without having to actually build better cars. @autosafety.org @nationalconsumers.bsky.social @consumerfed.bsky.social
