TSA workers get temporary financial relief as Coast Guard civilians work with no pay during shutdown
These are the employees who are still showing up to work without getting paid,

Over the next few years, this contract was increased to nearly $1 million. This is relevant, not only due to the obvious conflict of interest, but also because as a fiscal sponsor for that nonprofit, Collective Impact, on a 12% fee for that contract, which totaled more than $100,000,
She authorized reimbursements to herself and authorized payment of Human Rights Commission expenses with Collective Impact funds,
Rep. Eric Swalwell responds to reports that FBI wants to revive Chinese spy investigation case
The investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell, who has been a vocal critic of President Trump and is the leading candidate for California governor
This case is closed. The FBI said all we did was help. This effort to weaponize the FBI against the president's political enemy at a time that we are at war shows a distraction; it shows an obsession of the going after political opponents,

What we're hoping for tonight is to generate as much attention on the fact that she's missing and how loved she is in hopes it'll ultimately bring her home,
She'd be the one jumping in, volunteering, leading volunteers, talking to other people in the community,
Please review your video cameras for evidence of her walking past your home,
Bay Area residents hold rally in SF as war with Iran enters 2nd month
We're just echoing what our people want from the inside all our families. A lot of people don't understand the minimal internet access they have. They are sending us videos telling us what they want, and we're going to keep doing this every week until they have their freedom,
The first thing we would like to see happen is bombs stopping. That's the first thing. Before that, people are just in survival mode,
I'm here just to be a voice for the people of Iran. What they want? Free Iran. What they want? To have a normal life, which they can't have. They are murdered by the Iranian government,
We are here to support president's actions, President Trump and all this administration's actions on Iran taking strikes on the regime, killing them all and we are asking them to continue this until the regime changes,
What the war does is it sets back any kind of movement for democracy. It sets back the aspirations of the people. The idea of self-determination is one of the first things that came up right away in our first gathering and it's been in the heart of our discussions throughout,
TSA employees to get paid Monday following Pres. Trump directive as shutdown continues
All this money that we are about to get. It's going straight to bills. It's going straight to mortgage. It's going straight to rent. It's going straight to credit card late fees. Again, we are very appreciative of the money, but it is going to go as quick as it came in,
You hear things online about certain things happening at the airport. But I just hope it doesn't happen to me. And if I am just smooth about it, it should be fine,
We came early. We were worried because we heard about ICE and how there weren't a lot of TSA workers. But it seems like it's fine. Better safe than sorry,
Morale is really, really, really low at Oakland airport right now, nationwide as well,
Use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide TSA employees with the compensation."

TSA-ICE data sharing that led to SFO arrest raises new concerns over how DHS systems are used
We did not leverage TSA to identify people who were purely on the radar screen for civil immigration enforcement purposes,
This administration said they were going to dramatically expand civil immigration enforcement,
We are supporting the mission of our colleagues at the Department of Homeland Security that includes enforcement of immigration laws,
I'm sure some people are thinking, 'well, hey, this is the way the system should work,'
The outcome of post-9/11 is an extensive amount of information sharing between the airlines, CBP, TSA, and other parts of the federal system who use that information for not just securing the aviation networks or system, but also identifying dangerous people who are flying in the aviation system, domestically,
SF federal judge temporarily blocks Pentagon's 'supply-chain risk' designation for Anthropic
The record supports an inference that Anthropic is being punished for criticizing the government's contracting position in the press,
What is troubling to me about these these actions is they don't seem to be tailored to the national security concerns,
Anthropic has suffered irreparable and mounting injuries,
It's a fascinating public policy debate, but it's not my role to decide who is right in that debate,

Did SF police violate sanctuary law at SFO? Advocates demand answers after ICE arrest
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a mother and her daughter from Guatemala at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday, with bystanders recording videos of the incident that have drawn national attention
Our sanctuary policies are here. They are in place. They're not going anywhere as long as I am mayor. We are going to continue those policies. SFPD, and any local law enforcement will not assist federal immigration enforcement,
They're not supposed to use San Francisco resources to assist in immigration enforcement,
I want to understand what information they had before they arrived. I want to understand what their reason or excuse was for showing up on the scene. I understand how they decided to deploy that many officers to protect ICE,
Officers arrived on scene and determined the incident involved federal immigration officials. SFPD officers were not involved. SFPD has a large presence and is responsible for public safety at the airport. SFPD will continue to ensure public safety at SFO and in the City of San Francisco,
We don't know enough information,
What we don't know is if they were worried that the situation was going to escalate into violence, where people could get hurt, innocent bystanders,
That's different from 'we want San Francisco police to come in and help us because we're going to engage in something that involves immigration enforcement,'
I believe what they did was they assisted with immigration enforcement by assisting with an arrest, a detention and transportation for ICE. I think they did more than form that perimeter,

In MLB 1st, SF Giants' opening night matchup vs. Yankees will only be on Netflix
The streamer is hoping for another home run as its partnership with Major League Baseball begins Wednesday night with the opening night game between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants
All of the events feel unique, and it's our job to elevate those elements to make them even brighter. I think when you do that event approach, our experience at least has been you're pulling in all the existing fans, but really you end up recruiting a lot of people that wouldn't normally or wouldn't have otherwise engaged or watched it,
I think what folks have seen us accomplish on the platform, and also knowing we're only doing a couple of things over the year. I think it allows greater flexibility for some of the talent we're approaching, so they don't have to lock themselves into a really long schedule or a high volume of commitment. I do think we've been able to have conversations with some talent that otherwise wouldn't either be interested or available to do it,
This is in with our event strategy. On opening night, there's only one game, and it's on Netflix. And then doing the Home Run Derby and Field of Dreams, we can capitalize on the renewed fandom and energy around baseball,
