The news cycle changes on a whim and the issues Michiganders are facing continue to grow, so today I sat down for our first episode of: Kitchen Table Issues. Today we’re talking Michigan’s state budget crisis that could force me to lay off over 400 people in my department,... with many more workers at risk. My team and I are working on a plan to protect as many jobs as we can, and do our part to offer solutions that can help avoid a shutdown. But what about the cuts this budget will make to the rest of the state in our schools and healthcare options? These are people and programs that keep our state running, and they shouldn’t be held hostage by political games. Tell your legislator: Get it done.show more

I want to speak directly to San Francisco’s public-school parents and our students. I know many of you are worried about the possibility of a teacher strike that could temporarily close schools—and I want you to hear this clearly from me: our kids come first. As mayor, even though I don’t oversee our school district, I’m deeply committed to making sure our kids get a world-class education—with safe public schools where kids can learn and educators are well supported. It is crucial that our schools remain open. Every day in the classroom matters. I have been in regular contact with both the school district and the teachers union, and I am urging them to keep talking so kids can keep learning. Our working parents can’t afford to stay home if schools are closed. Our special needs students can’t afford to lose access to vital services that help them succeed. Schools are the foundation that makes daily life possible and helps every family in San Francisco thrive. I am also actively working with city departments to ensure we have options for our students in the event that classrooms do close. But I want to make one thing clear—what is best for our students is for the adults to continue discussions at the table so we can keep kids in the classroom. I will continue pushing for solutions that keep our schools open and our students learning. San Francisco’s families deserve nothing less.

From the day I took office, I told San Franciscans my number one priority was keeping our streets safe and clean. I was hearing from residents across the city for years that they were concerned about crime and felt that the city was caught flat-footed by the fentanyl crisis. As soon as I became mayor, we took a new approach. We created the San Francisco Police Hospitality Zone Task Force to keep our commercial districts safe and launched our Rebuilding the Ranks plan to get our police department back to full staffing. We passed a Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance and launched our Breaking the Cycle plan to fundamentally transform our response to the behavioral health crisis and get people off the street. Today, crime is down nearly 30% citywide and at its lowest point in decades. Car break-ins are at 22-year lows, and homicides are on track to hit 70-year lows. We are adding police officers and sheriff’s deputies for the first time in a decade. We have a record low number of encampments on our streets, and overdose deaths are down 39% from January. We can keep San Francisco safe, and our new approach is beginning to deliver real results. Thanks to the work our teams are doing, San Franciscans are feeling optimistic about the direction of our city and the conditions on our streets for the first time in years. I know our work is far from done—I see it every day when I walk the streets and talk to residents. But our local law enforcement, outreach workers, community ambassadors, and I will continue to be relentless so we can deliver the safe and clean streets that every San Franciscan deserves.

Today, I held a meeting with our foreign affairs team regarding our special foreign policy opportunities. These opportunities are available to our state thanks to many Ukrainians and millions of citizens from other countries who believe in Ukraine and support us. These opportunities allow us to keep Ukraine in the global spotlight, increase support for our state and our people, and effectively advocate for Ukrainian needs. The primary need is to end the war as quickly and justly as possible. Ukrainians have endured and achieved so much in this war because we have united not only within our state but also kept the world united for the right cause – for Ukraine and for everything that makes our world humane and capable of defeating evil. Our unity must continue to be preserved – everyone here in Ukraine, everyone in Europe, and the world who values Ukraine and life. This August, we are preparing news about greater consolidation of our people and everyone worldwide who helps us.

#WATCH | Delhi: On the sidelines of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) 2026, Dr Muaviyath Mohamed, Minister of State within the Ministry of Tourism and Environment in the Maldives, says, "At this summit, there are a lot of heads of state, ministers, and high-level officials from different countries and multinational organisations. So this is a good opportunity to talk with delegations of people from other parts of the world who are having similar issues and taking our concerns to authorities or at the multilateral level, so that we can get solutions to our issues, particularly because these are trans-boundary and multinational issues that we have to find solutions to in cooperation with other countries and other multinational organisations. This is a good opportunity to network and work together with other people and institutions with similar issues." He adds, "Here I'll be meeting the Indian counterpart at other institutions as well. Because we are having similar issues in some areas... We have been working on environmental and sustainable development... We have to work together with our counterparts, countries, and organisations so that we can achieve our aims and goals. In that context, India and the Maldives have been working on similar projects for a long time. India has been a reliable partner. India has the technological advances, and for us, the capacity building, knowledge transfer, and technology transfer we could get from India. India is always helpful in looking for these opportunities so that we can get solutions to our issues."

.Ron DeSantis: “We Bucked People Like Dr. Fauci to Keep This State Free” “We bucked the conventional wisdom [on COVID]. We bucked the establishment. We bucked the media, and we bucked people like Dr. Fauci to keep this state free, to protect our churches, to protect our school children,” detailed Governor Desantis. “And the state is better off as a result of it,” he expressed. “My job as a leader is to care more about the jobs of the people I represent than trying to protect my own political hide.”

We have to know how many illegal immigrants are in our schools, so we know how to allocate resources, so that we know to solve the issues that arise with that. We will continue to move forward to ensure that we are preventing any kind of illegal immigration movement into our state and into our schools.

It’s time to end the shutdown! Yesterday we visited TSA workers at the Albuquerque Sunport who are working without pay to keep our country safe. We’re grateful to all of our federal workers who continue to show up and serve our communities. It’s 22 days into this shutdown—and way past time to bring back the House, pass a budget, and protect our healthcare. The safety of our communities literally depends on it! #ThankaFed

Today, I held a meeting with the Prime Minister, Denys Shmyhal, regarding recovery efforts. The government is preparing additional measures to ensure that more Ukrainian children can attend school in person this autumn, rather than online, so they can experience normal school life as much as possible under the current circumstances. Secondly, our relations with partners: we are preparing agreements and arrangements that will be finalized this August. These include security agreements, with negotiations set to begin tomorrow with another European country. We are also organizing visits of leaders to Ukraine, along with the content of our negotiations and the long-term philosophy of our agreements. It is crucial to ensure sustainability for our state for years to come, as this will guarantee greater opportunities for us this year, given the current challenges and threats. Our primary tasks are to support the Defense Forces, the state budget, and Ukraine's social resilience. I am grateful to everyone worldwide who is helping us. And, of course, I extend my gratitude to our warriors – all the soldiers, sergeants, and officers on the front lines who protect our state, defend our positions, care for neighboring units, and assist when needed.

🚨 WOW! Gov. Ron DeSantis just said after his upcoming vetoes, Florida will have REDUCED state spending for 4 years in a row... ...and nearly HALF of ALL state debt has been paid off since 2019 🔥 "Our budget, even though we have MILLIONS of more people than New York State, New York's budget is more than TWICE the size of Florida's budget, and people can ask, where's all that money going?" "And in fact, I'm going to be dealing with our current, our next fiscal year budget. And once I do my vetoes, I will be able to say that we have actually at the state level in Florida reduced spending four years in a row." "Now that's foreign to some of those blue states, but they're quite frankly, aren't very many jurisdictions that are doing it. So we're proud of that. We obviously have a very light tax at the state level, but the one thing that's been tough for people is the property tax." And now property taxes will be largely removed. LFG ☀️

Zack Polanski speaking at the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, "The government are very good at recognising the problems, at recognising the crisis, the supply chain issues, the energy crisis in Iran, the energy crisis from Ukraine" "But very rarely do they seem to have solutions, things to actually do about it. And when they do have solutions, rarely are they solutions of the scale we need" "So if we look at the energy crisis, for instance, we've heard recently that energy bills in this country could go up 200 pound per year, on average for a household" "That's completely unacceptable" "And far too often I don't hear the solutions from the government that are just so obvious to ramp up our investment in renewable energy to make sure that we're insulating every single home in Britain that needs it" "So it is both warm in the winter and cool in the summer as well as creating hundreds of thousands of good green jobs that could be in public sectors that could be unionised so people are paid properly and treated with dignity and, and care and to remove the subsidies from the fossil fuel companies" "The same people who are destroying our planet should not be getting subsidised by the government at a time when we're in the climate crisis" "But as you know, well it's not just an energy crisis, it's a crisis for food too. Because what we've seen in Iran or implicated by Iran is a fertiliser crisis" "We know how devastating and damaging that already is for our supply chains and for the food that we produce" "And this badly needs intervention, it badly needs help. And what did we see this government do? Well, they cut tariffs on chocolates and biscuits" "Now don't get me wrong, there is room to do this and that will provide a small relief for some families" "That's not a long term plan for UK businesses and UK food production" "That's not a Long term plan to invest in resilience and in our food supply chains, in our energy" "It's not a long term plan that takes these issues seriously, not in the next few weeks or months, but goes we need to fundamentally rethink our systems change and how we provide food security as one of the most fundamental things in our society"

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.

I wanted to share an update on San Francisco’s budget and how we are working to get our fiscal house in order. When I took office, we inherited a significant structural deficit. That means the city was set up to spend more money than it brings in, year after year. Today, that gap is projected to reach $1 billion dollars over the next five years. Over the past year, we’ve taken steps to close this gap and bring long-term spending more in line with revenue. We also know that increasing sustainable revenue for our city is crucial to solving our budget problem. Since the day I became mayor, we’ve been taking steps to create the conditions for San Francisco’s economic recovery. Today, our streets are safer and cleaner, and people struggling on the streets are getting into treatment. We’re making it easier to open and operate a small business in our city. And that progress has led to results: Businesses of all sizes are coming back to San Francisco, people are shopping downtown again, and tax revenues are higher than projected. While we are making meaningful progress, we are not out of the woods. Our economic recovery is very fragile. And since last year’s budget, the city has faced new federal and state funding cuts. This means our budget gap would reach $1 billion in the coming years if we don’t act. The charter requires that, as mayor, I submit a balanced budget each June—we cannot spend more money than we bring in. And we must also address this long-term $1 billion dollar deficit. Because if we don’t act now, we will have to do twice as much in the coming years, with the choices becoming more expensive and more difficult. This year’s budget will include painful but necessary decisions. I know they will impact individuals and communities, and I take this seriously—which is why we must act now to avoid even deeper cuts later. This year's budget will continue the work we’ve been doing since last year to manage city funds responsibly and deliver the best possible services. And it will put our city on a path to a lasting economic recovery that benefits all San Franciscans.

Wow. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has just revealed that he and other governors are planning things to "protect the vote" from National Guard troops and ICE/CBP agents near polling locations. "Many of us have talked about organizing to have people at the polling places, to escort people in, to make sure they don't feel intimidated by these people who have no right to be there." "The more we can keep National Guard off our streets and away from these polling places, the better off we are. But there are a lot of strategies that are going to be employed." "I don't want to give away what everybody's thinking about how they would do it. It'll be state by state, individually decided by those governors." Can we do that too, then?

Swalwell: I’m running to be a governor for all Californians. I’m the son of two Republicans, the son of a cop, and I grew up in a law-enforcement family. I worked as a prosecutor myself. I know that whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat in this state, public safety for yourself, your kids, and your community is a top priority. The next governor of California, as I see it, has two jobs: one, to keep the worst president in our history out of our homes, out of our streets, and out of our lives; and two, to bring prices down. People are scared and prices are too high. And in California in particular, the average age for a first-time homebuyer — it’s crazy, it’s insane — it’s 40 years old. We’re too great of a state, with too many resources, to accept that. We should be able to say you can take your first job, have your first child, and buy your first home in the same decade. That has to be the promise, and that’s going to be my priority when it comes to housing.
