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!!! 👍👍
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!
Is this legal? Seems very sneaky, even for #Tesla. #Musk #FSD #scams @TeslaTakedown @TeslaWhistlebl2 @Keith_Laing
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 reut.rs/4nQIrC0 @specialreports
Thank you @BenAllenCA for standing up for #California consumers and their families and communities!

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. latimes.com/business/story/2…
Live in #California? Some good news on the #affordability front....
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.

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
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? wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont… @WCPO @wptv @tampabay28 @wxyzdetroit @WEWS @KSHB41 @DenverChannel @StellantisNA #ramtruck @CARFAXinc

#SCOTUS - about to decide whether agencies that are supposed to crack down on anti-consumer fraud can protect the American public, or be dominated by a #Corrupt president who sold his soul to billionaires.

Kudos to @ryanfelton for warning about this deadly scam. One way to reduce the risk of being victimized: check vehiclehistory.bja.ojp.gov/ 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
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. cbsnews.com/news/ai-scams-fa… @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
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!
