I continue to believe that Prop E was a cynical political gambit that will endanger the lives of innocent people and reduce accountability. But the people have spoken; Prop E is the law. I will of course carry out my duty to implement it.

Over a month ago I called for a second hearing on the SF SAFE scandal to address the many unanswered Qs about who knew what and when. Today’s indictment is the beginning, not the end, of the accountability needed to ensure this never happens again missionlocal.org/2024/07/kyra-w…

“Despite an earlier commitment to determine exactly how much of the $5.3 million SFPD paid SF Safe in the last five years was stolen, misspent or wasted, the department now says it has no plans to carry out the controller’s recommendation to figure out where every cent went.”

"'Old White Billionaire Leads People's Revolution' is not a headline in anyone's typeset drawer." Except, now, it is. Who is Michael Moritz? And what does he want for San Francisco? From @esksf missionlocal.org/2024/10/michae…

Today I issued Letter of Inquiry into the dangerous San Francisco police chase that sent 6 people, including a mother and child, to the hospital, resulted in two car crashes, and destroyed a parklet on Super Bowl Sunday (1/6)

This is an incredible resignation letter from SDNY prosecutor Hagan Scotten. It’s the type of thing you show your kids as an example of how to be.
