From last week

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Oh my god this is too funny. You have to watch it all the way to the end, I promise you won’t regret it.

“Evil. She’s an evil, sick, crazy —” He made an exaggerated face, his mouth open wide to draw attention to the next syllable: “Bi—” And the crowd yells the B word. Will he ever stop with the childish name-calling?" He's such a middle-school bully. https://t.co/62k2kTufJ9

In case you are wondering, the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board — which operates independently from the news team — will be making an endorsement in the presidential race.

Gov. Walz: Did you see what happened last night? Trump was having a town hall and got asked about health care, and instead of answering, he spent over 30 minutes standing on stage listening to music. It would be funny if he weren’t running to be President of the United States

[NAACP @NAACP]

Disgusted, not surprised.

NEW: The San Francisco Police Department is dressing up as inflatable chickens to catch speeding drivers going through crosswalks.

The officers are giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road.

The gig is paying off as the department has given out about 40 citations with some fines costing upwards of $400.

"If you don’t see someone in a giant chicken costume, then we really have a problem," said police Lt. Jonathan Ozol to the SFGate.

"It’s having an impact. Drivers seem more aware, more cognizant. Certainly when they see the chicken."

Video: SFGate.

Biden: "We don't demonize immigrants. We don't single them out for attacks. We don't believe they're poisoning the blood of the country. We're a nation of immigrants and that's why we're so damn strong."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Holy shit. How can they do this?? I’m in utter disbelief.

Vance just repeated Trump’s LIE that HE got $35 insulin for seniors.

That was 100% Biden and Kamala. RT this to correct the record!!

“They’re coming from the Congo, they’re coming from Africa, they’re coming from the Middle East, they’re coming from all over the world, Asia… and ya gotta get rid of these people!”

This is some of the most un-American shit I've ever heard. Shame on those applauding it.

[Robert Salonga @robertsalonga]

Hell of a story by my erstwhile colleague @mgafni about an SF man mistakenly declared dead and the ensuing fallout, reinforcing the idea that we just can't take authorities' word, and data, as gospel. Professional skepticism is not antagonism; it's due diligence

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump melts down over Kamala Harris being on the cover of TIME Magazine: “I’m much better looking than her. I’m a better looking person”

[Con Fire PIO @ContraCostaFire]

Fire is at approximately 200 acres.

[Con Fire PIO @ContraCostaFire]

Contra Costa Fire crews are currently working a vegetation fire between the cities Concord and Bay Point off of Evora Road. Standby for updates.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” and have “no direct stake” in America.

@josephgeha16 @CNPAservices Congrats Joseph! Miss you!
