Benioff and Musk want Trump to send troops to S.F. to fight crime. The law is not on their side

Bob Egelko is one our best reporters in San Francisco for decades.
Benioff and Musk want Trump to send troops to S.F. to fight crime. The law is not on their side
Gov. Gavin Newsom once sent the California National Guard to the city. But any attempt by the president to dispatch troops for law-enforcement purposes would collide with a 147-year-old federal law.

Trump says that, with his illegal mass layoffs, he’s closing “Democrat programs.” But programs like Social Security, education for children with disabilities, & clean water enforcement work for all Americans. If you want to repeal them, send a bill to Congress; if not, hands off.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is interfering in an election, & threatening a country if the election doesn’t go his way.

Open your eyes & grow a spine, Republicans. This mob boss needs to be removed, arrested, convicted (again) & jailed.

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Again, Trump had the power to unilaterally deploy the DC National Guard on January 6th - he did not need permission from anyone. He didn’t do so.

For example, he did deploy the DC Guard as part of his fake emergency in the city this year.

Extremely disappointed you chose to give the lowest polling Governor of any state in the union your platform. Mills does not represent working class folks. She would be 79-85 during the next Senate term.

I just subscribed, but I will have to reconsider. Many of your followers may do the same.

Meiselas: How do you see yourself in that race versus Graham Platner?

Mills: We’ve run people against Susan Collins before, and she won because we ran people who were untested… I’m the only one in the race who’s actually won an election
