[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

Thank you, San Francisco. I’m deeply grateful for the trust voters have placed in me, and I’m ready to get to work for you.

I want to thank Supervisor Connie Chan for a spirited and hard-fought campaign. We’ve had our disagreements, but we share a deep love for San Francisco and for our country. And thank you to our incredible campaign team, to every volunteer who walked precincts or made calls, to everyone who donated, hosted a house party, or put up a window sign, and to the labor unions, the environmental, housing, LGBTQ, and progressive organizations, the Democratic Party, and the elected officials who stood with us every step of the way. You turned this campaign into a movement.

I’m humbled to carry forward the powerful legacy of this seat — Phil Burton, Sala Burton, and the greatest Speaker in modern American history, Nancy Pelosi. Speaker Pelosi came to Congress to fight AIDS when too many wanted to look away, and she never stopped fighting for our city and our country. Madame Speaker, thank you.

This victory is also historic. For the first time ever, San Francisco will be represented in Congress by an LGBTQ person — indeed, no LGBTQ member of the House has ever represented any part of Northern California. When I stepped off the escalator at Castro Muni Station in 1997 and fell head over heels for this city, I could never have imagined this honor. 

San Franciscans voted for results, and we have so much work ahead: Building the millions of homes we need; moving toward true universal health care; investing in clean energy, public transit, and high-speed rail; standing up for science, education, and immigrants; making sure people — not massive corporations — decide what works for this country, including on AI; and ensuring the rule of law applies to everyone, including the President.

It won’t be easy. But on Election Day, voters across the country delivered a powerful mandate for Democrats in Congress. I’m deeply inspired by the trust they placed in us to take big swings to lower the cost of living, stop the endless wars, hold Trump and his cronies accountable for their corruption, and rein in the threat of artificial intelligence. In Washington I’ll bring the same determination I showed in Sacramento every single day.

It’s time to deliver a better tomorrow for our city and our country.

46 years ago, Big Bank Hank stole the work of @GrandmasterCaz of The Cold Crush. He stole it so blatantly that Hank did not even bother to change Caz's name in the song, which went on to become Hip Hop's first big hit: Rapper's Delight. At the same time Hank's group The Sugar Hill Gang stole the music for Rapper's Delight from @nilerodgers. Neither original artist was paid or credited. But on Saturday Night, they performed the real version. @paidinfullorg @FeliciaHorowitz

Congrats to Alex, Ben, and @hubble_network (YC W22) on their $200M Series C at a $1.6B valuation!

Hubble's satellite network lets any Bluetooth device connect directly to orbit with just a software update.

Cellular covers about 15% of Earth's landmass, and tracking anything beyond that has meant satellite hardware costing $25 or more per device. Hubble brings connectivity under 50 cents per device, which changes the math for billions of pallets, shipping containers, water pumps, and farm equipment that were never worth connecting before.

Jaylen Brown says meeting 21-year-old founders making $2–3 million in revenue changed how he views money and business

“When I was at Cal, I met this dude Eric Moore. He had his own venture capital firm.”

“I just kept hitting him up until he let me intern at his VC firm.”

“He started teaching me about money, how rich people make money, and how they stay rich.”

“At 18 or 19, I got to see companies being run successfully.”

“Some of the founders were 21 or 22, had dropped out of college, and were making $2–3 million in revenue.”

“My body is my company.”

“Why is it a bad thing that I’m putting myself in a position to make a lot of money at an early age?”

“I really got to see how the world works.”

“I started to understand the similarities between companies and the business of basketball.”
