Two Joes. One crazy election.
Join Eskenazi, myself and KALW's Ben Trefny while we talk SF and the Bay's elections, downtown tonight.
There's a suggested donation for @KALW but we won't turn anyone away for lack of bucks.

New from me:
Scott Wiener won his congressional seat using his cred as an AI regulator — and with the help of AI money.
Can the freshman find his voice on Capitol Hill?

Another insightful analysis from @EskSF, one that speaks volumes about this election
Jane Kim did better in Fresno than she did in San Francisco. That figures. missionlocal.org/2026/11/jan… via @MLNow

In the San Francisco school board race, the advocacy group GrowSF had a good night—its slate had the top three slots, so far.
The teachers union picks were down. Virginia Cheung was a full 12,000 votes from winning a seat, & Ryan Hazelton & Reina Tello further down the ranks.

San Francisco elections:
Now were *all* in the "March for Billionaires."
@esksf on San Francisco's doubling down on its new Gilded Age as the nation sweeps left.

Wiener's campaign also barred our 48 Hills reporter: 48hills.org/2026/11/democrat…
Scott Wiener's campaign has barred our reporter from covering his election night party.
They specifically cited our coverage of Wiener's positions on Israel.
It's an unbecoming move from someone who could serve as San Francisco's next congressperson.

In San Francisco, some preachers are writing their sermons with AI, or struggling with doing so themselves.
Others have voiced concern about congregants trading their rabbi for a chatbot.
It's partly what prompted a secret meeting of religious leaders last week, including Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone.
ICYMI:
A stream of clergy entered University of San Francisco’s campus, walked into a carpeted reception room, and talked about AI. No media were allowed.
Reporter @brandonphooo takes you through SF religions' reckoning with the disruptive technology:

New from me, featuring some sleuthing on a secret meeting at USF in which the city's prevailing religious leaders discussed AI behind closed doors:

In a flash of irony and just days before polls close on the California billionaire tax:
Two hundred and thirty staff members who are doing organizing and political work for SEIU-UHW — the major California union that got the measure on the ballot — have gone on strike against their own union and stopped all Prop. 40 campaign work.
From @brandonphooo :

SCOOP: The union that led the push to get California's billionaire tax on the ballot now faces a strike from its own political organizers.
Just days before polls close on Prop. 40, those workers' campaigning for the measure has ground to a halt.

San Francisco's and Oakland's mayors both want more power this year.
They took opposite roads to get there:
While Daniel Lurie's campaign paid for canvassers, Barbara Lee put herself in the hot seat for tough questions — and public debate.

Orwellian arguments, fuzzy math and a hippie cult: This is the dawning of the S.F. midterm election: “You cannot legislate a solution to a problem that is fundamentally a management problem. It requires good management” - @EskSF missionlocal.org/2026/10/dan… via @MLNow

New from me:
San Francisco's civic and political scene is a natural breeding ground for operatives at the world's leading AI giants.
Some are more obvious than others — most recently:
A former spokesman for the embattled former supervisor candidate Manny Yekutiel.
