I'm so honored to receive the endorsement of the Asian Americans for Good Government-PAC. Thank you!

Saikat believes anyone who’s not a millionaire or billionaire like him is disqualified from running for office.
It’s not rich people leaving California. It’s working class folks. And it’s all about the cost of housing due to decades of under-building. Once they leave, they can afford housing & their finances improve.
We must continue the fight to build more homes. It’s essential for California’s future,
When even the European fascists think you’ve gone too far & that you’re a deranged menace
Pride flags are back at Philz!
I'm running for Congress to get things done for San Francisco. More housing to make this city affordable. Medicare for All so nobody gets left without healthcare. And keeping our community safe, which includes banning ICE from hiding behind masks. SF deserves a fighter, and that's exactly what I am.
5. Ensure California agencies can efficiently implement laws passed by the Legislature w/o obstruction by opponents who lost in the Legislature (SB 1123)
Quite the day fighting for SF & CA. Huge thank you to my colleagues & our amazing coalition partners on these important bills. Onward!
3. Create & fund a California scientific research institute to ensure we fund science research even if the federal government continues to pull back (SB 895)
4. Ensure California’s ICE mask ban, which I passed last year, is fully enforceable (SB 1004)
5 of my toughest bills were passed by key Senate committees, including bills to:
1. Unrig the process for SF to break up with PG&E & form a publicly owned utility (SB 875)
2. Ban anti-competitive monopoly practices by Big Tech that crush small/mid-size companies & quash tech innovation (SB 1074)🧵
At a time when so many are struggling with the high cost of living & economic anxiety, Trump chose to attack Iran, spark a regional war, sabotage the global economy & fuel inflation.
My bill to ensure California’s law banning ICE agents from wearing ski masks — a law I passed last year — is fully enforceable just passed the Senate Public Safety Committee.
SB 1004 will help end the terror campaign & impunity the Trump regime has inflicted on our communities.
I've spent my life sticking my neck out for San Francisco. Building housing to bring down costs, protecting our healthcare, and making sure ICE can't hide behind masks. I've got a long neck, and an even longer track record of serving this community. I'd be honored to represent you in Congress.
San Francisco is the center of the AI revolution. That means we have a responsibility to get this right, with real accountability. I'm working tirelessly to make sure this technology works for people, not just corporations.
When we fight, we win. Never give up. They’re not invincible. Not even close.
I know we’re supposed to be numb to this crap, but can we take a moment to acknowledge the President of the United States thinks he’s God & his sycophantic agencies are trying to convert us into a theocracy?
Trump & his cult are next. We have the power to reclaim our democracy. We will use that power.
The Presidio is a success story — a military base now a self-sustaining national park.
Trump is the Destroyer President. He tears down institutions that make the world better — Medicaid, Kennedy Center, USAID, NIH — & replaces them with nothing since he’s incapable of building. He only destroys.
I'm thankful to have the endorsements of Congressman Sam Liccardo and Congresswoman Julie Johnson. This campaign is building a strong coalition to stand up to Trump and deliver results for Californians.
Netanyahu & his regime are a cancer for Israel, for the region & for Jews globally.
Like Trump’s cancerous regime, Netanyahu’s cancerous regime must go.
Israel’s continued bombardment of Lebanon — in addition to clearing out entire communities in southern Lebanon — is undermining any ability to end this war.
This is after an Israeli general stated Israel would employ a “Gaza strategy” in Lebanon — a deeply evil statement.
A ceasefire, if real, is a good thing, but it doesn’t change that Trump got us into a regional war, killed many people, got U.S. service members killed, threatened war crimes & genocide, jacked up costs & destabilized the global economy.
Trump must be removed from office.
The man who has the nuclear codes & most lethal military in global history is deeply unwell & is now threatening genocide.
Stephen Miller is an absolute Shanda — Yiddish for disgrace.
Under the terror campaign he built, his own family — as well as my own & so many Jewish families that fled here from violence in Europe & Russia — would have been blocked from entering or hunted down & expelled.
Trump is once again proposing to destroy Alcatraz — a globally popular tourist attraction — by wasting billions to turn it into some sort of prison gulag. It’s an absurd, idiotic idea, a complete waste of taxpayer money, and yet another sign of Trump’s dementia. Back off.
Now do Kash Patel.
It wouldn’t be a day if it didn’t include at least one Trump threat to commit a heinous war crime against civilians.
This is horrific & beyond the pale. The Israeli government’s continued bombardment of Lebanon, forced displacement & demolition of homes “in accordance with the model of Gaza” must stop. The U.S. must not fund a penny of this devastating campaign.
That moment when you realize your personal mob attorney is a mess & it’s time to make a change
