It is a disgrace what Donald Trump is doing in Minneapolis. It is a disgrace what he's doing across this country, terrorizing our communities. It is a disgrace what his Department of Homeland Security is advertising. It is absolute corruption that we haven't seen before in modern world history.

Stoked that @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social signed SB79. It barely passed--not a single vote to spare in 3 committees or on Senate floor twice. I voted yes all 5 times, after working w/Sen. @scottwiener.bsky.social to focus it on urban places w/strong or emergent transit networks. Giant step forward.

Labor Day: Proud that the Governor just came out for Senate Bill 371, my legislation to slash "government-imposed" fees on Uber & Lyft rides (up to 45% of the fare). In tandem w/AB 1340, will also create a path for 800,000+ rideshare drivers to organize into a union. Giant win for riders & drivers.

TL;DR: cities & counties in our Senate district lead Bay Area in meeting housing goals, outperforming SF by 95-1400%. Tops: American Canyon, Napa County, Solano County, Calistoga, Oakley, Sonoma County, Rohnert Park, Sonoma, Brentwood, Napa, Yountville, St Helena. www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

The Bay Area is lagging on housing goals. List shows Walnut Creek and Daly City among furthest behind

A quarter of the way into the current housing cycle, the region has permitted less than 10% of its state-mandated target.
