Pope Leo XIV’s new archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, is building a great rapport with his new friend, Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
They both took office around the same time and share a commitment to lifting up the most vulnerable people in the city.

Even if you hate these measures and elected officials, you shouldn’t let a Trumpian ant-DEI org play in our local politics, especially without transparency.

What caught my attention was the username in the URL: “jacksonppeterson.”
Only one person in local politics has that name and they previously served as Kanitha Matoury’s campaign manager and Piedmont resident @thomashawk’s son

Over the last few months, a number of new political websites appeared advocating for recalls against Carroll Fife, Barbara Lee, and SF Supervisor Jackie Fielder.
At the same time, several new sites popped up supporting Measure C and opposing other local ballot measures.

You probably know the DoJ waved through the WarnerMount merger. Our guest, Alvaro Bedoya, a former FTC commissioner (fired by Trump), explains in clear words how he thinks the deal can and will be stopped.
Plus @mattbelloni and I bring the banter.

Now they disapprove by as much as that margin in some polls.

The Kennedy Center’s name sign is still blocked by tarps and surrounded by security guards more than 12 hours after President Donald Trump’s name was removed from the building.
Just a handful of journalists and passersby waiting for the tarps to come down.
