Now that is some Friday good news!!!!
MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!

I called again today, took two minutes! Let’s get this over the finish line and build some homes!
Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.
It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.
Tell him!

Trump 2.0 has really exposed how brittle and broken the West Coast states' tax systems are. WA, OR, and CA all have a 1% property tax cap. WA has a sales tax but no income tax; OR has an income tax but no sales tax. It is not possible to effectively resist Trump without fixing these tax systems.
The news has sent counties throughout California into a panic. The state is bracing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for permanent housing, which is the one thing experts agree on as the most effective way to solve homelessness. https://cal.news/4nBKuZI

I’ve been a monthly recurring donor to RFS for years. Recently my husband was like “who should we be giving money to?? I know you’re all in on Run For Something” and I was like “…yeah, I would just donate to Run For Something”
Just FYI, @runforsomething.net is building the largest candidate pipeline in politics with nearly 250k people on our list considering a run for office - & our PAC is supporting nearly 300 state & local candidates in 2025 elections.
Our budget this year is about $7.5 million.

This morning as we loaded our kids on the cargo bike to take them to preschool, my five year old asked if he could ride his bike on Sunset Dunes after school today. Why people have to be so humbug and angry about children, community, and joy is beyond me.
It's infuriating that the recall people are acting like they're fighting monied interests when they ARE the monied interests! They're the incumbents preventing anyone from doing anything about housing costs and they're promoting a car-brained vision that's the antithesis of quality urban life!

Reporter Eddie Kim went downtown to cover the detainment of an immigrant by ICE this morning.
Then he was pepper-sprayed in the face by an ICE agent standing a foot away. Completely unprovoked.

I reported from an ICE action on Sansome and all I got was a face full of pepper spray
Federal agents are stepping up their actions against protesters and, apparently, the press

Wtf is wrong with Gavin Newsom? Seriously, is he insane? Our President wants to reopen “the Rock” because he saw some movie about it and instead of being like “seems bad that the leader of the free world is having crazypants paranoid delusions!!!” Gavin is like “oh but we can find common ground”
California built the film industry — and we’re ready to bring even more jobs home.
We’ve proven what strong state incentives can do. Now it’s time for a real federal partnership to Make America Film Again.
POTUS, let’s get it done.
