Sec. Gina Raimondo: "I was governor of Rhode Island during Covid, and one of the hardest decisions I've ever made in my life was to reopen public schools in the fall of 2020. I was one of just a few Democratic governors to do it, and we worked incredibly hard to make sure that every single school was safe when it opened.
At the time, I upset a lot of people in our own party. However, the teachers and the children in our state were healthier and better off, and the passage of time has shown it was the right thing to do." #WhatsNext

Sec. Gina Raimondo: "Last year, 114 of America's biggest, most profitable companies paid $0 in federal income taxes. That, my friends, is a policy failure that we must fix." #WhatsNext

Sec. Gina Raimondo: "I want to ask you this: How is it possible in this country that we have nearly 10 million Americans working full time jobs, and yet they are so poor they qualify for Medicaid and food stamps?" #WhatsNext

NVIDIA is an incredibly important American company. It's an excellent American company, but America's national security is not for sale. And the United States government has to get to the bottom of whether Jensen Huang’s indiscretion caused any erosion of our national security.

If every American company pursues short-term profit and just fires people because of AI, we're going to wind up with very high, very destabilizing unemployment and we're going to be in a world of hurt as a country.

Thanks @nytimes for featuring my @ezraklein Show appearance on California’s proposed wealth tax. While I agree with their critique of its shortcomings, I believe there’s a better path to tax fairness which I outline in THE SECOND ESTATE! Paperback out now!

Fired up this week! Kicked off an amazing canvass, greeting volunteers before they hit the doors to #GetOutTheVote in Durham, North Carolina. They’re out talking to their neighbors because so much is on the line next Tuesday—bringing down costs, creating good-paying jobs, & protecting access to health care. Grassroots support is how we win, and it’s exactly how we are going to send my friend @RoyCooperNC to the Senate! Let’s go! 👟🗳️

Chief Judge Schiltz said evidence that the subpoenas were issued for unlawful reasons is overwhelming, adding that DOJ "has struggled-without success-to identify a single plausible investigatory justification" for them.

This week, I spoke at @TEDTalks about what it will take for the US to lead the global AI competition.
We need more than the most effective models, the best chips, and the most innovative AI companies. We need a plan to bring American workers along.

Former U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo tells @SRuhle:
"You have AI coming down the track at a fast pace, which will be disruptive, and it's gonna hit the brick wall of America's old-fashioned higher education system, total lack of workforce systems, and our old-fashioned career transition systems."
