@bilalmahmood @SFFDPIO What about Supervisor Melgar's e-bike? Is she endangering her neighbors? Maybe she should purchase a bike that just requires pedaling.

This month, with @SFFDPIO, I introduced legislation to ban the sale of uncertified lithium ion batteries.
As these uncertified batteries are one of the top causes of building fires in San Francisco - we need our legislative code to catch up with our technology.
Because when SF residents are buying batteries for their e-bikes or scooters, we have to ensure they’re not buying products that could catch fire or pose serious safety risks.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla BYD is underwritten by the Chinese government. This is why they can offer vehicles so cheap.
English

Ford CEO Jim Farley in new interview on Chinese EV competition:
"If you’re an American and you want us to beat the Chinese in the car business, you’re all going to want to pay attention, not necessarily to @Tesla. Nothing against Tesla—they’ve been doing great—but they really don’t have an updated vehicle. The best in the business for us, cost-wise and competition-wise, supply chain, manufacturing expertise, and the IP in the vehicle, was really BYD. In this next cycle of EV customers in the U.S., they want pickups and utilities and all these different body styles. But they want them at $30,000, not $50,000. Like the first inning, they want them affordably.
That is the gift that China gave us: to be fearful and respectful enough of their progress that we could not organically just phone it in. We needed to do what Americans sometimes do great, which is use innovation to compete against the best in the world."
Something that Jim Farley didn't mention in the interview that is worth noting: The Tesla Model Y was the top-selling passenger vehicle in China in March 2026, with 39,827 registrations, beating all EVs and ICE models, despite its average selling price being higher than others in the top 10 list.

@CtrlAltDwayne Governments should stay out of businesses. This is stifling innovation.

Europe makes a lot of stupid decisions, but the USB-C and now replaceable battery regulations are actually a good idea. You shouldn't have to pry open adhesive on your phone and worry about breaking glass to replace a battery. Nokia got this right 26 years ago.
Omne Europa@neolatyno
🇪🇺| Europe will require all mobile phones to be sold with user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries starting 2027. The regulation demands the availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence. As per the USB-C ruling, Europe is a giant that can change markets to put European consumers’ needs first.

@Elex_Michaelson @XavierBecerra Gas tech should be eliminated along with property tax
English

Should California's .61 a gallon gas tax be temporarily suspended with gas prices so high?
@XavierBecerra: "how about we suspend Donald Trump and we can bring the price down much more than the .61 we get from the gas tax? If we don't have a gas tax, how do you keep your roads repaired, how do you build the bridges you need, how do you fill the potholes?"
I ask: "other states pay a lot lower gas taxes & they still have roads that work?"
Becerra: "Let's go take a look and compare."
Fellow Democratic candidate @MattMahanSJ says it should be temporarily suspended & replaced long term with something more progressive. He says the gas tax hurts people who can't afford electric vehicles; while electric vehicle owners benefit from others paying the tax.
Becerra: "Whether its an electric vehicle or not, you're using the roads. The gas tax provides us with the resources to fix the roads."

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..
> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..
> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..
> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..
> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..
> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..
> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..
> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..
> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..
> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..
> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..
all of this.. one Friday..
if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

@nicksortor What military are they going to use to reopen the straight that is already been reopened? HMS dragon? That can’t even get out of port.

@NickJFreitas It’s like General Montgomery taking credit for American victories. Nothing changes.

@DanielLurie Mr Mayor, I would ask you to go walk around Lake Merced and tell me this problem is solved.

WATCH this video of the moment I exposed CA Democrats for their bill to make it a crime for investigative journalists to combat fraud. They literally are targeting @nickshirleyy with this bad bill.
English

@MattMahanSJ @TomSteyer Why are you concentrating on ice? How about the fraud in California? What are you going to do about that? How about this idiotic high speed railroad that is $100 billion over budget? How about the $24 billion missing from the homeless fraud.?
English

And unlike @TomSteyer, I’m not all talk.
As mayor of Northern California’s largest city, I’ve taken real action to protect our undocumented neighbors:
✔️Banned ICE from city property
✔️Banned ICE from wearing masks
✔️Sued the Trump administration over a dozen times
There’s more to do. As Governor, I’ll do whatever it takes to deliver for our communities.
Mayor Matt Mahan@MattMahanSJ
How @TomSteyer made his billions: ✔️Private prisons ✔️ ICE Detention Centers ✔️ Oil, Gas, and Coal …….now he’s using those billions to try to convince us he’s seen the light? Californians deserve results – not a billionaire working on a rebrand.

@MikeLevin @dccommonsense Secretary, Marco Rubio notified the gang of eight shortly before the attack on a ran began. Congress was notified.
English

One of the worst takes I’ve heard since this war started is that somehow Congress didn’t need to be consulted during the first 60 days.
That’s not what the War Powers Act says.
That’s not what the Constitution says.
That’s not what any serious legal scholar says.
Every Republican citing the 60-day clock as Trump’s legal cover has either not read the War Powers Act or is hoping you haven’t, because the law only permits unilateral presidential military hostilities in response to an attack on the United States, and this war began with us striking Iran, not the other way around.
The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war.
Trump didn’t consult Congress before the bombs fell. Members were notified, not consulted. There is a difference, and it matters enormously.
We are spending American lives and treasure in an unauthorized war of choice, and Congress has yet to do its job.
The Founders divided war powers to prevent exactly this.

🚨 “Ban Nick Shirley Bill” — AB 2624
A government that moves to limit transparency is a government that has something to hide.
AB 2624: the “Ban Nick Shirley Bill” raises serious concerns about the future of investigative journalism in California.
This bill would expand restrictions around recording and documenting inside certain facilities, including organizations that receive government funding. In practice, that means journalists and independent investigators could face legal penalties simply for documenting what’s happening inside taxpayer-funded operations.
Think about that.
The very people trying to expose fraud, abuse, or mismanagement could be the ones punished.
This bill is backed by CHIRLA—an organization that has received millions in taxpayer funding over the years while also taking strong and often controversial positions on immigration policy and enforcement.
Now the same ecosystem benefiting from public dollars is supporting legislation that could limit scrutiny and reduce transparency.
Californians deserve the opposite.
If taxpayer money is being spent, the public has a right to know how it’s being used. Journalists should be protected for exposing the truth—not threatened with penalties.
Transparency isn’t optional

🚨 UPDATE: Elon Musk is CALLING OUT Democrats in Gavin Newsom's California for trying to criminalize the kind of journalism done by Nick Shirley
"California legislators are trying to make investigating fraud illegal"
What's being called the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" is in DIRECT response to @nickshirleyy's service to America.
Keep exposing! GAVIN IS PANICKING 🔥

@WallStreetApes Why do these posts keep popping up? She took out a loan she has to pay it back.
English

American has $197,000 in student loans
The interest rate is 5.12%, which means she is accruing about $10,086 of interest every single year on her student loans
That’s $840 a month just in interest just to break even without paying anything on the loan
“It feels so crushing”
Student loans in America are predatory. Americans cannot pay these back and they’ll be trapped in debt forever
