AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoBudget Watch (California): Senator Sasha Renée Pérez backed Governor Newsom’s May Revision for major education gains—especially paid pregnancy leave for TK-12 and community college teachers, plus big special education and UC/CSU operating support—while flagging a key gap: no restoration of the Middle Class Scholarship. Public Health (Cruise ship): In Bordeaux, more than 1,700 people were confined after suspected gastrointestinal illness on a 14-night cruise; the operator says cases are ongoing and sanitation has been stepped up while samples are sent for testing. Health & Tech (Artists vs AI): A survey of professional visual artists finds overwhelming opposition to generative AI, with most saying it’s already hurting income and job security. Health & Society (Eurovision protests): During Israel’s Eurovision performance in Vienna, pro-Palestine chants erupted and security removed a protester in handcuffs, underscoring how hard it’s becoming to separate global conflict from public events. Care & Climate: Coverage also highlights a recurring problem: care services are often missing from climate adaptation plans, even as heat, drought, and disease risks rise.
