Personal news: After 3+ years co-authoring the California Playbook, it's my last day at Politico. I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve had, and especially grateful to my bosses @davidsiders + @ccadelago But I’m not going far … my next gig will keep me in the city I love

Flock Safety is under fire. SF’s moderate Democrats are doubling down on the surveillance cameras sfstandard.com/2026/09/24/fl… w/ @omarsrashad

Flock has lost contracts in many blue cities, but San Francisco leaders are largely defending SFPD’s use of surveillance devices. 📝: @dustingardiner and @omarsrashad sfstandard.com/2026/09/24/fl…

Sam Altman is saying Sam Altman’s doing some really risky things, and Sam Altman can’t stop Sam Altman from doing these things. Give me a break. There has to be liability. We need an agency that regulates these models, just like we did for drugs, electricity, and nuclear.

Communist press gets access. American press barred. Outrageous. 👇

Update: SF Mayor Daniel Lurie just sent this letter urging a federal judge to release Ho Yin Mo, a California legislative staffer arrested by ICE "He serves the San Francisco community, and he does so with great care and commitment. He is a positive addition to our city."

The San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce has organized the event for 73 years, but allegations made in a recent lawsuit may change that. 📝: @FitzTheReporter and Zhe Wu sfstandard.com/2026/09/23/se…

I second Assemblywoman Stefani’s call for the immediate release of her staffer Ho Yin Mo, a legal employee and valued public servant. It’s reprehensible that DHS is abusing its authority and terrorizing law-abiding Californians. sfstandard.com/2026/09/22/sf…

The @lucasmuseum is now open in Los Angeles…which was not the first choice location. Negotiations with San Francisco and Chicago broke down first. @SpeakerPelosi told me it a “better” fit in L.A., which surprised & delighted @ericgarcetti & @KarenBassLA in this @CNN clip:

Catherine Stefani called for the release of Ho-Yin Mo, who was arrested last week during an enforcement operation at the Las Vegas airport. sfstandard.com/2026/09/22/sf…

RT @LorenaSGonzalez: Wow! So telling. And on the same day she announces the Governor appointed to a community college board. 😒

Great reporting from @omarsrashad: San Francisco doesn't know how many data centers might *already* be in the city

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and the most inhuman because it often results in death.” —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Trump Administration's shameless decision to rip away health insurance from thousands will leave working families unable to get the care they need. Using the false pretext of fighting fraud to strip Americans of their healthcare is as cynical as it is cruel.
