If Measure EE was bundled with a change to our current Ranked Choice Voting, I would have reconsidered my no vote. But the bottleneck comes down to having a competent and efficient city administrator, which the mayor already has the power to appoint.
Could the Sheng Thao corruption trial doom Oakland's Measure EE?
📰 The man behind Oakland’s strong mayor plan says Sheng Thao trial changed his mind.

To better understand Bob Uecker’s significance to Brewers baseball, he called both Hank Aaron’s last MLB home run and Jackson Churio’s first.

NBA players are asked which skill they would take from another player
More than half of the players said Steph’s shooting. 🔥

Let’s never forget that somehow we, common folk, knew more about Sheng Thao than these “journalists” did.
KQED and Oaklandside back at it again with some major defense of Sheng Thao. They seem to play up her “wins” and omit many reasons why people actually didn’t like her. I need only listen to the first five minutes to get it. Done with you @KQED

California's failure to build high-speed rail is maybe the most egregious example of America's inability to deliver modern infrastructure.
Perhaps it could learn from another Western country with one of the world's largest and cheapest high-speed train networks: Spain.

This is a perfect example of how some people think they have some brilliant take (disguising an ulterior motive) while trying to undermine credible journalism. Carmelo probably just resents owners and media (like most athletes do).
Carmelo Anthony wants Pablo Torre to reveal the NBA owners who want him to look into LeBron’s helicopter use.
Earlier this week, Torre shared that owners have reached out to him about James using a Fanatics helicopter to fly back and forth between Philadelphia and New York while playing for the 76ers, and he is "looking into" the partnership.

Talarico: I opened up social media and learned that I apparently had dropped out of the race, had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that I had died. This is crazy. Conspiracy theories don't put food on the table. They don't put gas in the tank. They don't actually improve our communities or improve our country. And so I'm going to stay focused on the very real problems that are facing Texans.

Two MAGA influencers claimed to have proof that James Talarico had a mental breakdown. Elon Musk pushed it. Within hours, the story fell apart.
@willsommer and @EggerDC got the full recording that the viral clip was cut from.
