I recently went on a ride-along with SFPD through SoMa, the Tenderloin, Nob Hill, Hayes Valley, and the Mission to see the overnight street conditions. There were bright spots, including 24th and Mission, but it’s clear that fentanyl remains a crisis in our city. I’ve asked SFPD, Muni, SFFD, the Sheriff’s Office, Rec and Park, and our major city departments to prioritize addressing these overnight conditions. We will stay focused on delivering the basics for San Franciscans and keeping our streets safe and welcoming for everyone who uses them. Thank you to SFPD for making the ride-along possible and to the officers working every day to keep our city safe.

We have the chance to create the first municipal bank in the country to serve small businesses, build new housing, and support climate initiatives. Vote YES on Prop B on November 3rd!

I see this argument often. But two things: 1) Copenhagen and Oslo do not have nearly the level of inequality SF does. Because San Francisco has such a stark difference in income/wealth inequality, it drives costs up for the middle/working class at a higher rate than Copenhagen/Singapore/Oslo, and we have to spend more from the government to cover for that. 2) Singapore and Copenhagen at least both have long-running, widespread social housing programs (with a large, non-profit housing development sector!). That makes sure most of their residents have access to high quality, affordable housing. In San Francisco, we don't have that, and we build too little housing overall. So we pay for it on the backend through homelessness services. So yes, if we don't solve the root of these issues, we end up paying more on the tail end. But then any effort to try to solve that root, like passing Prop I, gets opposed by people like you as well.

This is why my AI legislation included an emergency shutdown — aka kill switch — requirement.

Anthropic has filed for an IPO, with its prospectus revealing just how fast the company is scaling. FY25 revenue jumped 1,088% YoY to $4.59B, while compute and infrastructure spending rose 190% to $7.33B. The company posted an $8.06B operating loss and ended 2025 with $20.28B in cash and short-term investments. Anthropic’s two largest direct customers accounted for 24% of total revenue combined.

The leading experts are clear: AI is rapidly escaping our control. Congress must act NOW. Today I’m introducing legislation to permanently ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI until clear safety rules are in place.
