Ever ready to provide fresh proof of how dumb and full of shit he is.
Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

Go, Bilal!
This empty car wash at 400 Divis is proof of SF’s housing death spiral - over 200 homes stalled for nearly a decade.

I’m working to change the law so projects can build under the rules they applied with, cutting millions in costs and finally turning sites like this into housing.

Unlike SFPD which doesn’t prioritize traffic enforcement, speed cameras are on the job 24/7. With appropriate privacy safeguards, these cameras can be an effective approach to making SF streets safer
At the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition annual summit yesterday, Shannon Hake of SFMTA's Livable Streets division presented some *very impressive* early results from their automated speed camera program.

Our own Ruth Ferguson is in the @sfchronicle.com today with a powerful piece on why we need to rezone Bernal Heights! Read it and share it: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...
NIMBYs were wrong to try to kill a 100% affordable housing site — but they’re right about one thing
OPINION: Opponents of La Maravilla, the proposed affordable housing development at 16th and Mission, note that other neighborhoods aren’t doing their part to build homes, Ruth Ferguson writes.

Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.

The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.

This takes less than a minute, and it will affect the next few decades of CA housing
Are you a Californian? Do you want more housing? Governor Newsom proposed the biggest pro-housing reform in a generation in the budget, but opposition is mobilizing to kill it! Call your Assemblymember RIGHT NOW and ask them to support the budget! Numbers and emails here shorturl.at/PQzsj

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.

After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.

Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”

Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Happy to see SF Democrats standing up for affordable housing! La Maravilla should include as many units as possible. (Scroll to ~2h for the discussion at last night's DCCC meeting in Visitacion Valley)

They’re not sending their best…
“[One] of our amazing grants that have been cut … looked into how … in the inner ear …neurotransmitters … help us hear. … It’s actually possible that the reason that got flagged early on is the word ‘neurotransmitter,’ because it has the word ‘trans’ in it.”

This is the dumbest NIMBY/recall fight SF has had yet. Studies have found that closing the road—which is being swallowed by dunes anyway—added a few minutes to commutes. Businesses have seen an increase in revenue. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
