This country owes a great debt to @SpeakerPelosi ! The honor of my life to have worked for and walk alongside her. #speakerpelosi #teampelosi @TeamPelosi

Garrick Higgo sat down with @MartySmithESPN after his round to explain why he was late to his 7:18 AM tee time at the PGA Championship.

San Francisco is making extraordinary progress on homelessness, and word is getting out that our city is on the rise. We will keep working every day to help people get off the streets, while making San Francisco safe and clean for everyone. nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

Here's @MattMahanSJ, on the lessons — both politics and policy — of trying to cut unsheltered homelessness in San Jose to zero

We’re doing things differently in San Francisco when it comes to homelessness. And we’re seeing results. - Nearly 1,000 fewer people are sleeping on our streets compared to 2024—a major sign that our strategy is working. - Unsheltered homelessness in San Francisco is now at its lowest level in 15 years. - The number of people in tents is down 85%. These numbers come from the 2026 Point in Time Count. The takeaway is clear: More people are coming inside to get shelter and treatment, and we are moving in the right direction.

Breaking News; Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player and a valuable center on six teams over 13 seasons, has died. He was 47. nyti.ms/438CeHW

74% approval for a big city American Mayor in his second year in office is crazy pants. Impressive stuff Mayor @DanielLurie

This Mother’s Day, I’m thinking about my mom, and all the lessons she taught me. I'm proud to honor her memory with the Ann Dunham Water Terrace at the Obama Presidential Center.

PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

I first approached Adam Silver about an interview last year, sensing the NBA was near a moment of institutional testing. Neither of us knew what lie ahead. My look at a commissioner under fire, a league in transition, and a game searching for identity. theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

Former Gov. @GlennYoungkin (R-VA) & Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan @RahmEmanuel spar on the direction of their parties:

Some hope for the tens of thousands of American families affected by pancreatic cancer: The FDA is granting early, expanded access to a promising experimental drug, daraxonrasib. The drugmaker Revolution Medicine reports it nearly doubled survival time for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer in a large Phase 3 clinical trial.

.@JamesTalarico: An Amazon worker recently died on a warehouse floor and management told the others: ‘Just turn around and don't look. Get back to work.’ That was a human being. That was a child of God. Sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed. Don’t conform to this world. It’s not healthy to assimilate in a sick system. I’m asking you to question everything you’ve been told at school or at work or at church — and certainly anything you hear from a politician. Reject anything that makes you less human. A different world is possible. What if we built systems that brought out the best in us? What if we invested the same resources into peace that we invest into war? What if the only hunger was for justice?

Neighbors, both on and off camera, said they would support expanding surveillance systems if it helped reduce gun violence in the area. When asked on Friday whether the incident had changed her views on surveillance cameras, Mayor Wilson’s staff intervened. komonews.com/news/local/sea…

.@JamesTalarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. Politicians serving billionaire megadonors instead of their constituents. The top 1% owning more wealth than the entire middle class. For-profit social media algorithms sowing division and turning neighbor against neighbor. Our systems are rotting from the inside out. The most powerful people in this country are profiting off our pain, our division, and our disconnection from one another. This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

GOLDEN TEMPO WENT FROM LAST TO FIRST IN THE KENTUCKY DERBY THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!!!

Louder for the people in the back.

Nah tomato over this "on topic" shit. Daniels is asking a perfectly in bounds question that the Mayor of a major city should be able to answer pretty easily
