@twofortyAM @neeratanden @HeerJeet What would you like her to do in an interview? Punch him?

@neeratanden @HeerJeet Oh wow! You "pushed" him! That's so incredibly brave of you. I'm sure it had a big impact.

Here's a photo of Neera Tanden doing.softball interview with Netanyahu in 2015, an event which caused a scandal because she was so clearly whitewashing his authoritarianism.

@Lex_Jurgen @RandyMudge @BlakeCousins @CitizenCohn @WIRED I recharge at home. Why would you need to recharge anyplace else if you don’t drive a ton of miles?

@RandyMudge @BlakeCousins @CitizenCohn @WIRED I found a plan for $50 a month to charge next to my gym. It didn't make sense to spend on a home charger. Everybody I spoke to ended up finding a solution like this.

BYD just unveiled an electric car that can charge from 10 to 70 percent in five minutes, and all the way in nine More proof that EVs are going to dominate the future, just a question of how long it takes — and who will build them Via @WIRED wired.com/story/how-byds…

@mp3michael @Sharkyl Yes everyone with a child should have some kind of housing and not sleep on the street

@Sharkyl So anyone with a child gets free housing? For how long? Do Fathers get free housing too?

Joe’s a good reporter, and the story was well written, but his paraphrase here isn’t what I said. I didn’t compare the cost of permanent housing to treatment centers, and I wasn’t making a financial argument, I was making a moral one. A quick 🧵to explain:

@adamnash @kimmaicutler They save money in a rainy day fund. Not sure they can do a sovereign wealth fund?

@kimmaicutler ... same story in reverse when they overspend during the boom years. Would be amazing to get this rerouted into something resembling the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth fund.

California also has a revenue problem in that it is so dependent on highly volatile PIT and cap gains revenues that it can’t really predictably fund services. Everyone who points out the deficit every other year when there aren’t IPOs almost never provides this context.

@Playerinthgame @overemployer There’s video evidence showing that no one entered his apartment so there’s that for you to dismiss with your stupid conspiracy theories

@overemployer His parents don't buy that, and I'll trust them over an "I knew Suchir" account. youtube.com/watch?v=5b6vkF…

it feels like an incredible disservice to this guy that no one ever speaks about what he tried to do

@doomloopdisp @DangerVenture If they’re driving from far away to shop, then it’s not a local business for them.

Because cars rule and they can be used as communal spaces. I learned to ride a bike in a parking lot. I taught my kids how to ride bikes and skateboards in a parking lot. It’s where I learned how to drive. It’s where you can hold farmer’s markets and other events. Also ‘it’s great to let people drive from faraway to support local businesses

This is not American greatness. This is a weird YIMBY/real estate wet dream and it’s fucking dumb. Parking lots rule

@JoeGoesGaming @Mike_from_PA Not sure how this take syncs up with the passage of the ACA 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Mike_from_PA Centrist Dems only care about elections. They have no interest in governance. That’s why they can only win when Republicans become insanely unpopular. Then the Dems get in and do nothing and people hate them and elect republicans again.

This is why centrist Democrats need to be silenced. Let’s leave aside that Medicare for all has majority support and has for a decade. It’s also the best policy. Estimates say it would save 68,000 lives and $450 billion annually. Why aren’t you screaming that from the rooftops?

@KimChiSpicey @Chucklesbybay @puristdriver All school money in California primarily comes from the state and not the city

@KimChiSpicey @Chucklesbybay @puristdriver SFUSD's budget is primarily funded through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) ($648M+ projected for 25-26), alongside state, federal, and local sources. Major funding comes from state income/property taxes (Prop 98)

Maria Su also makes $538K a year. Interesting that she’s shaming teachers for wanting more than a $69-79K starting salary.

@ladu33471 @WallStreetApes Red states are the bloodsuckers living off of California’s tit

@WallStreetApes Guess that's why CA is hemorrhaging money. Multi billion dollar businesses have left, refineries closing, exorbitant gas prices, egregious taxes, thousands that just left. They would have to resort to less than savory practices.

This is wild American at the Healdsburg City Council meeting in California and takes the mic. She gives evidence how every member is being paid off to pass legislation and give permits to businesses California government is essentially just mafia at this point

@Boudinski @MLNow He was asking them not to strike so your comment makes no sense

@MLNow Because he and all the other Dems in California are owned by unions. Plain and simple.

Mayor Daniel Lurie on Sunday made a last-ditch effort to stop the planned San Francisco educators strike tomorrow. He asked both sides to come to an agreement today. Barring that, he pleaded for a 3-days' delay to the strike. He was rebuffed. missionlocal.org/2026/02/sf-may…

@bobbykarate187 @AndrewPatermann @ZavalaA You are voluntarily paying gas tax. I’m not.

@mondean @AndrewPatermann @ZavalaA Yes we are. By the gallon, rather.

No, there is no gas mileage tax moving forward in California. It’s a study. One that has been ongoing for years. kcra.com/article/califo…

@AndrewPatermann @ZavalaA I live in California and am not being taxed by the mile

@ZavalaA I'm not sure what the funny part was, & I'm a pretty joyful person. Like I wrote in the other post, 'taxing by the mile' is already in CA. "gas mileage tax" is a red herring while their exploratory committee is plausible deniability. Hopefully you get a bigger laugh outta that.

@thewillmascaro @X Now if it had been addressed to “Based Mike Lee” that wouldn’t be defamation.

@SelenaC10705 How does voting not affect the outcome?

Some people insist San Francisco “voted” on the permanent closure of the Great Highway. What they’re ignoring is Joel Engardio and Lucas Lux’s use of manufactured consent. The decision was made behind closed doors since day 1, then dressed up with a fake or tightly controlled process, a citywide election, so people would feel involved. 👉 Voting that doesn’t affect the outcome. 👉 “Community input” after the plan is already locked. 👉 Renaming contests with a preselected winner. Joel Engardio and Lucas Lux were betting that people would resist less if they believed they had chosen it themselves, “If I participated, I must agree, at least a little.” D4 and the Westside saw through their manipulations.

@yossarian5000 @KurtSchlichter If you can’t handle a few protesters, you can’t handle hardened criminals

@KurtSchlichter It continued when Democrat leaders encouraged a bunch of imbeciles to "get in the faces" of armed law enforcement trying to conduct very dangerous operations against hardened criminals.

The event started when Democrats like 20 million illegal aliens into the country.

@willchamberlain @Sharkyl Not much resistance here and even Rand Paul agrees

The police officer has the right to order the woman to clear the road - and if the woman refuses, to use non-lethal force to gain her compliance/detain her for violating 18 USC 111. When Pretti stepped in between the two and physically confronted the officer, he committed a felony violation of 18 USC 111, that justified his own detention. When he resisted arrest, that was yet another crime that also justified the mace and the tackling. And, tragically, having brought a gun to his planned physical confrontation with federal law enforcement, he created a circumstance with his conduct where it is likely that the shooting officer reasonably feared for his safety and the safety of others, given the information available to him at the time.

You are right. The only thing that matters, legally, for when he was shot is what a reasonable officer in the shoes of the officer shooting would have done. But then a slew of use-of-force experts - Branca, Shipley et al. - have explained why the shot was likely lawful based on that strict view of the information the officers had at the moment, in all the chaos. It’s the left that’s been demanding to open the aperture. Well, now it’s wide open, we all understand exactly what Pretti was doing, and it makes him look much, much worse.

@SFMTA_Muni @studio_daddy 6767 👀🧐😳

@studio_daddy By chance, did you happen to get the four-digit bus number?

Uh @SFMTA_Muni what is this

@mlagos He is running for governor of which state? LA or CA?

Steve Hilton is leading in some polls in the race for CA governor. He says he would allow Louisiana to extradite a Bay Area abortion doctor to face charges, despite state laws prohibiting cooperation and strong public support for reproductive rights. kqed.org/news/12071206

@GuyMarzorati @mlagos @SteveHiltonx @KQEDnews What state is he running for Governor?

GOP gov candidate @SteveHiltonx tells @KQEDnews that he would allow Louisiana to extradite a Bay Area abortion doctor to face charges. “Louisiana is trying to uphold what its people voted for, and California is undermining it,” he said. via @mlagos kqed.org/news/12071206/…
