Column: Progressives have ruined San Francisco. Just ask this heiress
A descendant of a California land baron is unhappy about San Francisco's condition. She blames Chesa Boudin and progressives. The facts say otherwise.

Tedious to point this out, but:
- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.
-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

Immigration court felt like a murderous reality show today.
The judge granted two gentlemen asylum hearings in 2029. But it was all a sham—They were abducted by ICE before they left the building.
There is more the City & the State must do. We cannot allow the rule of law to be eroded case by case.

At some point, if control of a house of Congress changes, opponents of this WH’s lawlessness might have to confront it with something like a Westminster-style cutoff of supply — a defunding of the operations of Executive Office of the President specifically.
It's not a "funding freeze" or "hold." It's an unlawful seizure of federal funds and it's categorically unconstitutional.

But congestion pricing polled terribly.
The “popularists” who run Democratic party strategy said we shouldn’t do it. Because the polls were bad.
But public opinion can change, and politicians can and should lead it.
Vote for politicians who will lead public opinion, not follow it.

Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in:
* 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily
* Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65%
* Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025
* $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements
* B’way attendance +12%
* Subway ridership +7%
So yes this program is a SUCCESS.
