🏈📰 Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl press conference brought together about 600 journalists from various countries, making it the biggest press conference ever held for a Halftime Show.

This reflects the international media’s anticipation for the show. #AppleMusicHalftime

[Nadia Lopez @n_llopez]

One of the highlights of my career, most definitely. Bad Bunny joined a crowded room of reporters this morning in San Francisco to discuss his halftime performance ahead of this Sunday’s Super Bowl.

We stand in solidarity with the @PostGuild. Staff cuts leave fewer journalists serving our communities. Democracy dies in darkness, and it's a lot harder to shine a light from a shrinking newsroom. #SaveThePost

NEW:

Layoffs today at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropy of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan.

About 70 people let go, or about 8% of CZI's total staff. This is CZI's largest known layoff in its decade of existence.

Those reductions follow a restructuring of CZI around A.I. and science over the last few years.

A spokesperson said CZI was still investing in its science focus and was making "thoughtful adjustments to our team to ensure we are best positioned to drive this effort forward."

Social media posts by the alleged attacker of an SF General social worker show his apparent mental unraveling before the killing.

Posts included incoherent ramblings about sexuality, depression, and missing his family in Venezuela.

Yesterday, I spoke to San Franciscans about a potential federal deployment in our city. I said then what I have said since taking office, that keeping San Franciscans safe is my top priority.

Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise. Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office.

We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery. We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong.

In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed that direction in our conversation this morning.

My team will continue to monitor the situation closely, and our city remains prepared for any scenario.

I am profoundly grateful to all the San Franciscans who came together over the last several days. Our city leaders have been united behind the goal of public safety. And our values have been on full display—this is the best of our city.

The Democrat shutdown has drained the Army Corps of Engineers' ability to manage billions of dollars in projects. The Corps will be immediately pausing over $11 billion in lower-priority projects & considering them for cancellation, including projects in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Baltimore. More information to come from the Army Corps of Engineers.
