Exactly one year later—and they’re back at it. After becoming the youngest @SFBART speedrunner ever last year, Ben is now 10 and is speedrunning @SFMTA_Muni light rail with his sister, @kllawson12. Even when the lights go out, cities rebound. Families explore. Transit makes it

Our housing crisis explained in under 2 minutes. Worth a watch. 🏡

I found an interesting graph about yesterday’s elections

. @kdlaw, Managing Partner of @HansonBridgett and Bay Area Council Board Chair, kicking us off along with opening remarks from San Jose Mayor @MattMahanSJ and Council President & CEO, @JimWunderman.

After more than two decades of extraordinary leadership, Jim Wunderman will step down as CEO of the @BayAreaCouncil at the end of this year. Jim has been a tireless advocate for the Bay Area and a trusted partner to so many of us. A transition and search committee composed of

San Francisco’s comeback is real. 💫 At @HansonBridgett we’ve called SF home since day one — and we’re doubling down with a lease extension and office renovation. The city’s future looks bright, and we’re proud to be part of it. https://t.co/GnRjXwzHNS

NEW: California will be the first state in the nation to sell its own insulin. It will be $11. No Big Pharma price gouging. Simple, affordable healthcare. As it should be.

Proud to see @CAgovernor on @colbertlateshow making clear: California leads by putting facts and science first. From my vantage point on the @MedBoardOfCA , I know progress comes from good science, solid data, and leaders willing to make thoughtful decisions. In the absence of

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination

🚆 Ben is out riding the rails today! Not on a speedrun this time, but taking on a transit trifecta — @SFBART, @SFMTA_Muni and @Caltrain. He’s showing us what it’s all about: raising awareness of the importance — and the joy — of transit in the Bay Area. @SFBART may have had a

We can’t afford to treat this as someone else’s problem. We need to figure this out—how to get our systems working reliably, how to fund them sustainably, and how to keep the Bay Area moving. Our economy, our environment, and our quality of life depend on it.

This morning’s @SFBART shutdown is a stark reminder of just how critical our transit systems are. It’s easy to be frustrated with BART or blame the system when things go wrong. But let’s be clear: when BART stops, the Bay Area grinds to a halt. Traffic gridlock becomes

“It’s the perfect time for @Waymo autonomous vehicles to begin to roll into San Jose, the Capital of Silicon Valley" @MattMahanSJ

Proud to see California leading once again with the launch of the West Coast Health Alliance alongside Oregon and Washington. This partnership affirms California's commitment to science, transparency, and protecting public health. Vaccines remain one of the greatest achievements

Earlier this summer we rode the @Amtrak California Zephyr 🚆 — 3 days across America with stunning views, family moments, and plenty of train magic. Ben (our certified rail fan & @SFBART speedrunner) turned it into a fun video. 👉 Ride along here:

Mayor @LibbySchaaf would have been an outstanding State Treasurer. I’m truly sorry to see her exit the race—her vision for tackling housing, climate, and wealth-building opportunities for California's children is exactly what we need. I’m grateful she'll continue driving impact

San Francisco and the California coast are under a tsunami advisory tonight. That means we should expect strong, dangerous currents that could impact our beaches, harbors, docks, and piers. I have been briefed and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Our city

⚠️TSUNAMI ADVISORY remains in effect for the California coast. Stay away from the water! Stay away from beaches and waterways! Remember: Tsunamis are series of waves carrying large masses of water. The first wave may not be the largest! Do NOT go to the coast!! #CAwx #Tsunami

The bill is on hold for the rest of 2025, which gives @AsmMarcBerman time to continue working with his colleagues on this proposal. I am committed to continuing our partnership with him and others who want to see Californians get the best possible health care.
