Wiener & former AOC chief of staff/Justice Dems co-founder Saikat Chakrabarti are the only two who get noticed in national stories, but a third candidate has most local and labor endorsements and has outlined a path to make the runoff: SF supervisor Connie Chan. prospect.org/2026/05/11/s...

Most national commentary on the 11-candidate field has focused on Wiener and Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive co-founder of Justice Democrats who wants to generate a bottom-up political revolution among a restless population dissatisfied with the status quo. Yet Connie Chan, a San Francisco county supervisor, has picked up many of the state and local endorsements you would expect from a progressive leader: the California Teachers Association, National Nurses United, the state Working Families Party, the San Francisco Labor Council, the California Federation of Labor Unions, and the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club. She believes her focus on bread-and-butter issues and support among the city’s large Asian American population can pay off.

She also related the dynamics in San Francisco to the rising oligarchy we see across the country. “There’s the PayPal mafia,” she said, referring to a group of expats from the early days of the payment processing company that included Elon Musk, David Sacks, and Peter Thiel. “Their chant is ‘Move fast and break things.’ They look at San Francisco and think, ‘How do we break you, the working people?’”

Some see Chan as the more authentic voice of the city’s left in the race. (She also has mainstream support; Pelosi hasn’t endorsed, but Sen. Adam Schiff, a key Pelosi ally, has endorsed her.) But getting that message out takes money. As of the most recent campaign finance disclosures, she is lagging far behind her opponents in fundraising. And while labor and the Asian vote are strong factions, they are only fragments of the electorate. Can she succeed?

“Only in San Francisco, someone like me can run for Congress,” she insisted. “We ran in 2020 and 2024 and won both times, running against candidates supported by billionaires and their PACs. I have that same optimism and attitude.”

At the kickoff, she put it more clearly to the crowd. “When you send Connie Chan to Congress, you are sending all working people.”

One of the most dangerous tropes in political media is how the only Jewish voices that matter are the most right-wing ones, hence the ease with which reporters assumed Jews are scared of Mamdani. (This is also how Jewish protestors were erased from the discourse about antisemitism on campuses.)

oh to attend the 70s Supreme Court goon session

The result was that, for much of the 1970s, the justices literally had to meet in the basement of the Supreme Court to watch pornographic movies that were the subject of prosecutions, in order to make subjective calls about which movies should be protected by the First Amendment.

Those movie days, as described by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong in The Brethren, were thoroughly humiliating experiences. Justice John Marshall Harlan, for example, was nearly blind during many of these screenings, so one of his law clerks had to describe what was happening on the screen to him — often prompting Harlan to explain “By Jove!” or “extraordinary!”
