NEW: A majority of voters (63%) support a Medicare for All system that would: - Eliminate most private insurance plans - Replace premiums with higher taxes - Guarantee health coverage for everyone - Eliminate most out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles

Happy (early) Thanksgiving! As cliché as it sounds, I really am grateful for the opportunity to serve you as your councilmember. Check out the work we've gotten done and ways you can get into the spirit of giving in our latest newsletter!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

A good comms person should be thinking about policy and a good policy person should be thinking about comms. You need both.

How many “too big to fail” moments are going to be inflicted on me in my lifetime? Sincerely, -a millennial still angry about broken student loan forgiveness promises

OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates on.ft.com/4ij0yh8

We need to do everything we can to encourage posts like this on bluesky. Terrible food opinions from big name sportswriters are genuinely the lifeblood of any social media app

Democrats need to campaign on destroying meta as a lesson and example

And this is why I don’t fuck with Twitter for work stuff anymore.

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

Quite the coincidence that the billionaire owner of the Washington Post isn’t in this photo collage

Your Thanksgiving gravy tastes better when you use union mushrooms. Let's give a huge thanks to workers like "Adan" who harvest mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms under a UFW contract. On an average day, he picks 240-280 of the blue baskets you see in this vid. #WeFeedYou

What I love about this is how he knew what Chris was saying but, in good naturedly pretending to not know, he modeled an educational moment both about the definition *and* why in a mass media context liberals need to use less fuckin nerdy language

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

“Longer tables, not higher walls.”—Chef José Andrés

Nobody wants to be an informed consumer of health insurance. They want to pay an affordable price and not have to think about it

Let them fight is praxis. Some people don't seem to recognize this.

Town Hall: ✅ Website: ✅ Newsletter: ✅ What a week.

I’ve only been on City Council for three months, but l’ve already made progress on affordable housing, taking on blight, and public safety. We still have a lot of work to do, but I’m building a coalition to keep getting things done! Learn more at anthonyforsanjose.com!

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

BREAKING: not everything is complete shit

So nice of all of these races and speeches to be pretty much done by midnight because I am tired

An “all you fascists bound to lose” sort of night

After the year I’ve had, I love that my most pressing election night task is a bubble bath. 🛀

AP calling this less than an hour after polls closed 🤌

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Dick Cheney is dead and New York is going to have a Muslim mayor. Nature is healing.

One underrated aspect of Zohran is that he always wears a suit, always presents himself professionally while still doing fun and approachable retail politics. You don’t have to drape yourself yourself in hypebeast and post thirst traps, you can be fucking grown up respecting the office and be fun

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

For those of you keeping score at home: tomorrow is our FOURTH special election this year in District 3. Anyway, don’t forget to vote YES on Prop 50 and Measure A!

No student should go hungry. Yet Congress cut funding for critical food programs our students rely on. We need representatives who put our children first. Prop 50 holds them accountable and helps us fight back for our students and communities. ✅VOTE #YESonProp50

This two-parter, and the internet's reaction to it, is so delightful. The internet can be fun!!

It’s been less than a year since we recorded our first video in front of City Hall. Now, our favorite policy nerd is leading the way on housing. (And I’ve gotten better at video editing 😅) Anyway, you should sign up for housing policy updates: bit.ly/TordillosHousing

More third spaces fewer gilded spaces.

“Grok, render a political ad for Andrew Cuomo that makes the Willie Horton and welfare queen ads look socially progressive”

We gathered downtown to say it loud and clear: in this country, we have #NoKings! We have to be persistent to see things through. To protect our community from Trump’s budget cuts by voting Yes on Measure A. To take back the House by voting Yes on 50. And to kick him out of the White House in 2028!

Me, building a website and collecting content for the next newsletter: 🎼 But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, baaaaabe… 🎶

man...do your fuckin homework

Ribbon cuttings are one of the best parts of my job, because we get to celebrate folks investing in our city and show everyone that Downtown San José is the place to be. That’s why I was excited to join in welcoming Poppy & Claro to our downtown!

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes. A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.

My team and I spent Saturday w/the Japantown Community Congress, having great conversations about the collaborative work these local leaders do in maintaining one of our cultural treasures. Then we took a neighborhood tour, led by Japantown Business Association Vice President Jim Nagreda. (1/2)

The crime we need to worry most about is the regime's effort to criminalize opposition to Trump. Marcy references the case of SEIU labor leader David Huerta. She notes the FBI is probably using this ridiculous "intimidation of a police officer" charge to comb through SEIU's internal communications.

I love that our office’s first memo to get passed by Council was about affordable housing. When I got involved in local politics, it was because of the cost of housing. Five years later, I finally was able to help someone in San José win — and he’s already getting the work done. I’m so proud. 🥹
