As an Oakland native and resident, I’m aware of the city’s issues.
Refusing to use taxpayer funds to subsidize stadiums for billionaires isn’t one of them. Especially when the billionaires in question don’t care about the city.
I said it before, I’ll say it again:

We are disappointed by the outcome of this vote. I have made it clear the A’s branding & name should stay in Oakland. Baseball has a home in the Town even if the A’s ownership relocates. https://t.co/aso3RAJlk3
As I will explain on tmow’s Nothing Personal, the unanimous vote was expected. Every headline you will read today is wrong. There is plenty left to do. The vote was a necessary step, NOT the final step. #waittosee
Rob Manfred and MLB’s owners should feel shame. They either bought John Fisher’s con or they assisted in it. He purposefully orchestrated perceived apathy to line his pockets. Oakland is a good baseball market. A’s fans are a great fan base. This is all a scam.
My opponents and I may all identify as Democrats. But we are not the same.
I am the only candidate in California’s US Senate race calling for a ceasefire.
Diplomacy—not destruction—is key to securing lasting peace. History proves this.

As a kid, Star Wars always resonated deeply with me
Kind of like the force, I believe we're all connected
Your pain is our pain
Your struggles are our struggles
Your victories are our victories
When we lift each other up, we all rise
Happy #StarWarsDay & #MayThe4thBeWithYou
I’ve been reporting on revolving door corruption for 20+ years, and after all the denials and misdirections pretending it’s not a thing, they just came out and screamed it today 👇
