I get Norman Wong’s reaction to the SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling. His grandfather is Wong Kim Ark, whose lawsuit set the precedent. And the co-director of @StopAAPIHate comments on Trump’s “white supremacist policies.” @sfc_opinions @sfchronicle sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
My latest column: Billionaire or not, CA is coming for your money. Despite soaring revenues, the state budget includes several new taxes hitting everyday Californians. The gas tax just went up again. & nearly half of Nov. ballot measures deal with taxes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
My latest column: Since moving to SF less than five years ago, Joseph Shapiro has twice been violently assaulted by a random passerby. Shapiro, who is 71 & gay, viewed SF as an LGBTQ+ safe haven. Now he's not sure if he wants to spend his retirement here: sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
OPINION: Anthropic and OpenAI plan IPOs that make previous tech booms look tiny. If San Francisco wants to benefit, our leaders need far more urgency on housing, the editorial board writes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
My latest column: PG&E says rates keep dropping. But my monthly bill has practically doubled, even though I’m using less energy than I was at the same time last year. Here’s why most ratepayers are paying more & what CA’s next gov should do about it ⤵️: sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
My latest column: SF voters effectively just banned Aaron Peskin from returning to elected office, & progressives generally had a poor showing in the primary election. I sat down w/ Peskin for more than an hour to discuss the future of progressivism in SF: sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
With support from a wildly popular mayor, SF Supervisor Alan Wong was a front-runner to retain his seat. So it wasn’t a surprise that Wong won Tuesday. What was astonishing was his margin of victory. My @sfc_opinions newsletter @sfchronicle sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
My latest column: As CA counts ballots, the leading Dems for two key positions are disconcertingly receptive to a disastrous idea: blowing up the insurance market just as it’s starting to reach more stable ground. We need insurance to have nice things. sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
My latest column: I refuse to gamify my CA governor vote & limit myself to a subset of mediocre candidates bc of polls. Elections aren’t foregone conclusions, & treating them as such only enables discontent & disengagement. Things can change in an instant. sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
On Tuesday, unless there’s a major upset, a Chinese American once again will be elected as S.F. District 4 supervisor. I talk about what that means in my @sfc_opinions column @sfchronicle sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
ENDORSEMENT: District 14 voters need a representative they can trust after Eric Swalwell. There’s only one option sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
ENDORSEMENT: Given that "waste, fraud & abuse" is now every politician's fav catchphrase & CA's spending is in the feds' crosshairs, the role of CA State Controller has arguably never been more important. Does incumbent Malia Cohen deserve 4 more years?sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
OPINION: With Newsom’s presidential run sucking up the media oxygen, California needs a governor with ideas to solve problems. The editorial board says there are two candidates worth considering. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Some argue that events like Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month aren't needed anymore. But they are a reminder that how our country grapples with race is a work in progress. My latest @sfc_opinions column @sfchronicle sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
ENDORSEMENT: With 2 decades of experience governing CA’s 2nd-largest school district, Richard Barrera has a deep knowledge of education policy & a track record of helping students succeed. He's uniquely qualified for Superintendent of Public Instruction. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
OPINION: How should San Francisco replace a political icon like Nancy Pelosi? By building on her legacy, not tearing it to the ground, the Chronicle editorial board writes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Tomorrow's front page photobomb
The Chronicle was honored for revealing how companies drastically underpay wildfire survivors. Gabrielle Lurie and an investigation of for-profit psychiatric hospitals were named finalists. sfchronicle.com/about/newsroom…
ENDORSEMENT: Insurance commissioner might be the toughest job in California. Patrick Wolff, who understands insurance regulations better than any other candidate & has evident passion for the work, is up for it. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Speechless. Thank you so much to the National Headliner Awards for this unbelievable honor and for the amazing @sfc_opinions team, led by @MatteFleischer, for valuing & investing in deeply reported enterprise editorials. headlinerawards.org/2026/04/27/202…
