Excited to start today as deputy politics editor at @sfstandard! Reach out with hot tips to [email protected], and let's grab coffee to talk all things SF politics ☕️
The reason I took up the case is because a woman filed a lawsuit against Mr. Trump alleging he raped her when she was a teenager. At the time, (2016) Mr. Trump was running for president of the United States -- and had nominated Acosta for a top cabinet position. Acosta was the…

ICYMI: @ggreschler was at yesterday's spicy hearing on the implosion of the Parks Alliance nonprofit ‘A Ponzi scheme’: Lawmakers skewer leaders of disgraced parks nonprofit sfstandard.com/2025/07/17/san…
Trump told the journal he was preparing to file a lawsuit if it published an article. “I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” he said. wsj.com/politics/trump…

Just ordered another batch of Beauty of Joseon sunscreen a few days ago that will hopefully last me the rest of the year. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/wor…

I asked Newsom's team whether the Sig Sauer 365X pistol that conservative podcaster Shawn Ryan gave him was the gov's first gun (on its way to CA from TN). "The Gov was raised in a household with firearms," @iGardon said. "This will be the first firearm registered in his name."

In video below, Speaker Mike Johnson says he hasn’t seen California’s request yet for LA disaster aid. Gov. Newsom addressed it to him first in his letter in February.
Reporter: Will you commit to including California in any disaster aid package? Johnson: We have not seen the formal request yet. Reporter: The formal request was sent to your office in February.
Many Republicans also voted for the bill when it was in the Senate
🚨BAD BILL ALERT: CA Democrats are pushing SB 577, a bill that throws up legal roadblocks for survivors of childhood rape and sexual assault. It makes it harder for victims to seek justice. Abandoning victims like this isn’t just wrong…it’s BEYOND CRUEL
These cuts by Fox in Trump interview on Epstein are more substantively consequential than those cited in Trump's lawsuit against CBS (which basically included Harris's full answer across 2 shows)
I had not seen this Fox News extended interview with Trump from 2024 — where they deliberately edited his Epstein answer — where he won’t commit to releasing the full files because of “phony” stuff in it.
He can question the independent redistricting commission all he wants...changing the maps at this point would require voters to approve overturning 2010's Prop 20 and returning map-drawing responsibility to the Legislature...best of luck with that.
Gov. @GavinNewsom tells @TheTNHoller that if @GregAbbott_TX does mid-decade redistricting to help Rs, California may do the same — “with two-thirds majorities in the legislature, could gerrymander like no other state.” He says California has been “playing fair” with an…
SCOOP: San Francisco and Oakland police appear to have repeatedly broken state law by sharing data from automated license plate cameras with federal law enforcement. In one instance, OPD fulfilled a request related to an ICE case. sfstandard.com/2025/07/14/oak…

The new rules of SF’s drug markets / ✍️ David Sjostedt "It’s past San Francisco’s bedtime. The buses have mostly stopped running, and the skyline has dimmed. But many of the city’s drug dealers are just clocking in for work." sfstandard.com/2025/07/11/san…

According to a new report detailing "severe shortages" in local news, the number of journalists working in the US has dropped by more than 75% since the start of the century — from 40 journalists for every 100,000 residents to just 8.2 journalists now. muckrack.com/research/local…
