So there Kennedy was in early May, crisscrossing a strip of northern Ohio that includes one of the few congressional districts that Republicans are confident they can flip in November, rotating through a wardrobe of blue suits and blue jeans.

He inspected the kitchen of a Toledo daycare center, where hundreds of the city’s tiniest residents learn and play through the federally funded Head Start program. Under the careful watch of a surgeon, and with the machine disconnected, Kennedy briefly tested the teaching console of the renowned Cleveland Clinic’s robotic hands with a live patient splayed open for heart surgery in the room. And he munched on pesticide-free squash blossoms from a 400-acre farm.

Kemp just called a special session in June to redraw the congressional map for 2028. Why are they doing this in June, if it won't be used until 2028 anyway? Well, there's a governor's race in November. If Dems flip the governor's mansion, the GOP couldn't do this next year.

All it took was treating human beings like cattle and keeping the homeless out of sight to placate the oligarchs. Nothing fundamentally changed, it just swept the problem under the rug and made it less visible.
After the Supreme Court in 2024 gave cities authority to enforce bans on public camping, San Francisco officials swept tent camps and moved homeless people around with the priority of keeping them out of sight of wealthier people, Ms. Friedenbach said. She said the jail system, with its population up about 50 percent since 2021, had become a “revolving door” for homeless people accused of misdemeanors such as illegal camping and possessing drug paraphernalia.

“This is definitely a tried and failed strategy,” she said. “I’d say we’re going back about 20 years.”

But San Franciscans overall have given Mr. Lurie rave reviews, with a recent Sextant Strategies poll sponsored by The San Francisco Chronicle showing that he enjoys a 74 percent approval rating. And about half expect the quality of life in the city to get better in the next few years.
