Rents in San Francisco have gone up faster than anywhere in the country. We have to build more housing.

We need more than some policies to regulate AI. We need to build the state capacity to understand and control this technology.

This op-ed from Katie Porter against the California wealth tax is so cynical, it's hard to imagine she believes a single word of it. She is saying that since Prop 40 doesn't fix every issue in our healthcare system, you should vote no. But the point of Prop 40 is to plug the gap Trump created!

I'm excited to endorse Eric Jones for Congress, because unlike the incumbent in California's District 4, Eric actually wants to invest in housing, healthcare and education here instead of spending trillions on endless wars abroad. If you're in CA-4, vote Eric Jones on November 3rd.

@kainewkirk.bsky.social has a real chance to take down an AIPAC-backed establishment incumbent. Recent polling shows him tied with his opponent. Just like the recent people-powered candidates who've won all across the country, Kai can win too, but he’ll need our help to pull it off.

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

@kainewkirk.bsky.social’s race is coming up on July 21. I've known Kai for years, and he's always been on the right side. I'm excited to endorse Kai. His opponent voted for Laken Riley, voted against impeaching Trump, and his main donor is AIPAC. Donate to Kai: secure.actblue.com/donate/kai-n...

I'm proud to back Connie Chan for Congress to represent San Francisco and plan to do everything I can to help her win. She is the only candidate in this race who takes no corporate money, who supports a wealth tax on billionaires, and who will vote to end all military aid to Israel.

A lot of Democrats talk about fighting Trump. Many tweet out against him, post memes, or call him names. But Thomas Massie & my Epstein Transparency Act is by far the most effective action in taking Trump on and breaking his coalition since he walked down the escalator. Even JD Vance admits that.

The campaign has ended, but the mission remains. We must wrest control of our country away from the corporations and back into the hands of people is still ahead of us. And the only force capable of doing that is a movement of people unlike any we have seen in generations.

Congratulations @hamawyfornj.bsky.social !! The movement to change the Democratic Party is growing. Look forward to working with Dr. Hamawy in Congress.

Our volunteers and field organizers are currently knocking 5,000 doors an hour to make sure everyone votes today. This is the biggest field campaign in San Francisco history.

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

The most beautiful part of this campaign is the places you end up — from line dancing with the youth to dancing with aunties. Election day has been so fun, but the campaign is far from over. Make sure to vote before 8 PM tonight!

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

No matter what the result is tonight, I’m so proud of what we’ve built together. Being a part of a team like this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I’m never going to forget it. Looking forward to continuing this fight with you all, to November and beyond.

Over 500 volunteers showed up at 6 AM this morning to get the vote out. In 2 hours, we put up over 20,000 door stickers to remind people to vote. Over the last year, we've built the largest field campaign in San Francisco history, and it's beautiful to see it in action today.

Somehow our representatives never question how we fund a genocide in Gaza, but the moment we bring up universal healthcare or childcare, suddenly there's no money. In Congress, I'll call out that hypocrisy and vote for what the people actually need — because I'm not bought by foreign lobbyists.

In Congress, I promise to fight for the LGBTQ+ community every day. I will never turn my back on you, and will always do everything in my power to protect and further your rights. If politicians had a fraction of the courage this community has, our country would be a better place.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that AIPAC is doing everything they can to keep me out of the top two & secure a win for Scott Wiener in November. First we heard reports that an AIPAC affiliated group is dumping $475k into this race at the last minute to keep me out of the general.

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

According to recent reports, an AIPAC front group is spending big in our race to try to keep me out of the general election. That’s because they know I have the best chance of beating Scott Wiener, their preferred candidate, and I am the biggest threat to AIPAC’s power in DC.

Donate to @oliveralarkin.bsky.social to help him beat Jared Moskowitz. Moskowitz is one of the main AIPAC Democrats in Congress today. We need Oliver to defeat him.

Matt has always been an outspoken advocate for what's right — speaking out against the genocide in Gaza, the harms caused by AI, and shedding a light on the crimes committed by ICE. I'm proud to have his endorsement and am excited to earn your vote on June 2nd.

Sat down with @mattxiv.bsky.social to discuss AIPAC, AI and the crypto lobby, and why they're doing everything they can to hide their donations. They are all are toxic and we need to get rid of their influence in our government completely. In Congress, that's exactly what I'll do.

I'm so grateful to the thousands of volunteers who have joined this campaign on the doors, the phones, and at farmers markets all across the city. This campaign has always been about the movement, and that movement wouldn't happen without them.

If we're serious about tackling the affordability crisis, we need to kick PG&E out of our city, pass Medicare for All, stop corporations from fleecing you, and get back to tuition-free public colleges and trade schools.

Abundant Future is a Big Tech super PAC, funded by tech oligarchs and crypto billionaires who oppose our agenda that puts working people, and not mega corporations, first. They want to own @scottwiener.bsky.social’s vote in Congress. Help us fight back & get out the vote on Election Day.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid-ul-Adha today. I’d be remiss not to acknowledge that this is a particularly difficult time for California’s Muslim community following last week’s shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

According to @politico.com, disagreeing with Pelosi on Medicare-for-all, banning congressional stock trading, cutting defense spending, and a billionaire wealth tax is "flaming her."

I’ve called San Francisco home since I was 23. It’s where I’ve met my closest friends, raised my daughter, built my life. This city gave me everything. I’m running for Congress to make sure the next generation can build a life here too.

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Was walking back from the gym, and guess who I ran into 😀. Scott Wiener's best friend, and my #1 fan, Conor Johnston in his misinformation mobile! He had it parked a few doors from my house for the last several days. Hi Conor! Next time, come out and say hi, I won't bite!

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

We must pass the wealth tax in California. People scaremonger about billionaires leaving, but the reality is billionaires already barely pay any taxes in the state. I support the wealth tax. Scott Wiener doesn't because his donors are the ones spending millions to defeat it.

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Jake Auchincloss is essentially endorsing Susan Collins in Maine. Absolutely no excuse for a Democrat in the House to back a Republican for Senate in a crucial swing seat. Auchincloss should be primaried. His primary election is September 1 in a safe, D+11 seat.

187928

Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Scott Wiener is endorsed by Jake Auchincloss. Our campaign is endorsed by Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. That should tell you who Scott Wiener is going to Washington, DC, to work with. We can't afford another John Fetterman, especially coming from San Francisco.
