Statement from the NorCal Society of Professional Journalists: "Senator Wiener is embarrassing himself, and as someone aspiring to higher office, he knows it's his duty to uphold the First Amendment, the foundation of the very nation he wishes to represent in Congress." "He doesn't have to like the press, and he doesn't have to like the coverage he receives, but he damn well better be even-handed about who he lets into his parties. If he is elected to Congress, is he going to ban Mission Local from covering him?"

Members wore red at the company awards ceremony this week to show pride in our colleagues’ work. Do leaders share that pride? AP execs are undercutting our journalism while honoring the best of our journalists. We call for a reinstatement of our expert photo and video producers.

San Francisco’s Prop. D would quadruple the signatures needed to place a local measure on the ballot. But citizen-driven initiatives aren’t what’s cluttering the city’s ballots, according to a Mission Local analysis. missionlocal.org/2026/10/san…
Prop. D would make it harder to put measures on the ballot. But harder for whom, exactly?

Prop. D would quadruple the signature requirement to get citizen initiatives on San Francisco ballots. That's too high a burden, critics say.

You CAN’T MAKE THIS UP… the FIRST paragraph of Prop A in the ballot pamphlet has the OLD Supervisor term limit language. Bilal led a campaign with a nearly a half million dollars of tech billionaire money & then voted to put A on the ballot with the old term limit language!! 👀
