If New Mexico created the blueprint for taking on Meta
, California could determine the company’s fate when it comes to critical changes at Facebook and Instagram.

Opening arguments begin Tuesday in the trial that California Attorney General Rob Bonta is co-leading against Meta, following a litany of allegations that the company fostered addictive behavior in teens and children. The jury was seated last week in Oakland’s federal courthouse.

The trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.

Industry experts are calling it social media’s “Big Tobacco” moment, with Meta as the centerpiece. In the 1990s, to***co companies were forced to pay billions of dollars for misleading the public about the safety and potential harms of their products, and subsequently saw their power and influence dramatically diminished.

Lawmakers elected to Congress in 2026 are likely to be tasked with shoring up Social Security ahead of its looming 2032 funding shortfall, and that effort could be affected by the outcome of a Connecticut primary race.

Democratic Rep. John Larson, the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security, who has called for expanding Social Security benefits, won’t be on the November ballot.

On Tuesday, voters in Connecticut’s 1st Congressional District chose among the incumbent Larson and several challengers. Former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin won, with around 54% of the district’s vote, compared with 33% for Larson, according to MS NOW, based on 99% of votes.

In a speech Tuesday night, Larson — who has served 14 terms in the House of Representatives — said he is “disappointed” with the primary results.

“But far from disheartened — we have a responsibility and a job to do, and we’ve got to come together as people, as a Democratic Party and fight for what’s right for the American people,” Larson said.

Larson previously served as a chair of the Social Security subcommittee, when Democrats controlled the House. For years, Larson has advocated for a bill, the Social Security 2100 Act, which aims to expand benefits while also extending the program’s solvency.
