Just four days after the election, I’m heading to DC for freshman orientation! I’m so excited to get to work in Congress for San Francisco and for our country. We have the largest freshman Democratic class since the post-Watergate election. It’s a huge opportunity to put our country on a better path — one that lowers people’s cost of living, ends the war, strengthens democracy and civil rights, restores the rule of law, and puts an end to this national nightmare. I’m ready to fight for our future!

Thank you, San Francisco. I’m deeply grateful for the trust voters have placed in me, and I’m ready to get to work for you.
I want to thank Supervisor Connie Chan for a spirited and hard-fought campaign. We’ve had our disagreements, but we share a deep love for San Francisco and for our country. And thank you to our incredible campaign team, to every volunteer who walked precincts or made calls, to everyone who donated, hosted a house party, or put up a window sign, and to the labor unions, the environmental, housing, LGBTQ, and progressive organizations, the Democratic Party, and the elected officials who stood with us every step of the way. You turned this campaign into a movement.
I’m humbled to carry forward the powerful legacy of this seat — Phil Burton, Sala Burton, and the greatest Speaker in modern American history, Nancy Pelosi. Speaker Pelosi came to Congress to fight AIDS when too many wanted to look away, and she never stopped fighting for our city and our country. Madame Speaker, thank you.
This victory is also historic. For the first time ever, San Francisco will be represented in Congress by an LGBTQ person — indeed, no LGBTQ member of the House has ever represented any part of Northern California. When I stepped off the escalator at Castro Muni Station in 1997 and fell head over heels for this city, I could never have imagined this honor.
San Franciscans voted for results, and we have so much work ahead: Building the millions of homes we need; moving toward true universal health care; investing in clean energy, public transit, and high-speed rail; standing up for science, education, and immigrants; making sure people — not massive corporations — decide what works for this country, including on AI; and ensuring the rule of law applies to everyone, including the President.
It won’t be easy. But on Election Day, voters across the country delivered a powerful mandate for Democrats in Congress. I’m deeply inspired by the trust they placed in us to take big swings to lower the cost of living, stop the endless wars, hold Trump and his cronies accountable for their corruption, and rein in the threat of artificial intelligence. In Washington I’ll bring the same determination I showed in Sacramento every single day.
It’s time to deliver a better tomorrow for our city and our country.
NEW: San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan concedes the race for Nancy Pelosi's House seat (#CA11) to state Sen. Scott Wiener.
Both are Democrats — Chan positioned herself to Wiener's left.

This man sacrificed his political career to do a historically great thing that has proven to be wildly popular everywhere in San Francisco except the NIMBY district he represented.
He deserves a damn medal for courage and leadership. For real.
Sunset Dunes forever! Thank you San Francisco for voting to save our magnificent coastal park.
The sacrifice to make Sunset Dunes possible was worth it. Every day is a reward when you get to see thousands of people improving their physical and mental health with an ocean view. Along with all the kids and seniors discovering maximum joy in life.
Sunset Dunes is a success story. The feared traffic “carmageddon” never happened. Yet the positive impact on the environment, local businesses, and every park visitor is very real. And everyone is able to get where they need to go.
I’m proud that Sunset Dunes is good for the environment and makes life better for people. Let’s celebrate the largest pedestrianization project in California history. We must stop centering public policy decisions around cars if we want to take climate change seriously and help future generations.
Now that we’ve voted on this issue three times in four years, it’s time to accept that Sunset Dunes is here to stay. There’s no reason to keep fighting over one of San Francisco’s most popular parks.
We are fortunate in life to be able to argue as much as we have about a road and a slightly different driving route. Let’s focus our energy now on addressing the true hardships in the world.
The process that ultimately created Sunset Dunes was democracy. A vote by the people is the most open and transparent process possible. Each voter had an equal say about what to do with their coast because the coast belongs to everyone.
Support for Sunset Dunes is only growing in areas that voted against it. Before long, a majority in every neighborhood won’t be able to imagine San Francisco without a coastal park and all the benefits it offers.
We don’t have to fear change. Doing bold and positive things like creating Sunset Dunes is how we create our best San Francisco.
Our kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids will thank us for choosing the right side of history.

It could not be more stark, according to the data. You could have the hardest-working, most prodigious Congressional representative or the most obstructive.
“Based on 84 votes she cast on land use since she joined the board in 2021, Chan was second only to former Board President Aaron Peskin in amassing a record consistently opposed to liberalizing housing regulation.”
“From Wiener’s first session in the state Senate in 2017-2018 through the 2025-2026 session, he authored the most bills of any legislator in the chamber, at 186. Of those bills, 97 passed and were signed by the governor — the second-most over that period.”

After 15 years of gaslighting by Google and its shills + 8 years since launching the focusontheuser.com, Google is trickling out updates to EU-only local search results showing, yes, it's technically trivial to provide answer boxes without destroying the open web.
Today, @benthompson calls new campaign Yelp has launched alongside TripAdvisor and a slew of consumer groups "compelling" and writes, "[Google] should listen."

The whole fucking point of a quick build is to make fast/cheap street changes and evaluate them but makes "quick builds" permanent with easily broken materials and they take years. Arguello project design started 3 years ago.
Now someone's dead.

Opinion: The state senator’s early warnings about artificial intelligence look prophetic now — and it’s just one reason he should be headed to Washington.

Connie Chan opposed making JFK in Golden Gate Park car-free. She fought to keep it a road for cars.
Scott Wiener helped make JFK car-free and believes JFK and other parks should be spaces for recreation. People need safe spaces to walk, and kids should be able to safely ride their bikes.

Making Central Park car-free was undoubtedly the correct choice. The idea that making urban parks car-free is so divisive is something I don’t understand.

Google says its AI Overviews on searches create a better experience and “higher quality” clicks. We were sent research clearly showing otherwise.
- AI Overviews didn’t improve satisfaction
- and they didn’t improve visit quality
- they just reduced clicks to their sources 1/5
