Sheriff hopefuls make case
BY ADRIANA HERNANDEZ Daily Post Staff Writer
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors picked three candidates after questioning them about previous controversies and their plans if they become sheriff.
Three picked for next phase
Former Santa Clara County Undersheriff Ken Binder, Former San Francisco Police Assistant Chief David Lazar and Police Chief for Solano Community College District Brian Wynn Huynh Travis were the top three candidates.
THE UPDATE
SNAP ORDER: The Trump administration has been ordered by a federal judge to fully fund SNAP benefits for November. The ruling yesterday was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit. The Trump administration said last month that it would not pay benefits at all for November because of the federal shutdown. Last week, two judges ordered the government to pay at least partial benefits using an emergency fund.
MUSK’S PAY: The world’s richest man was just handed a chance to become history’s first trillionaire. Elon Musk won a shareholder vote yesterday that would give the Tesla CEO stock worth $1 trillion if he hits certain performance targets over the next decade. The vote followed weeks of debate over his management record and whether anyone deserved such unprecedented pay, drawing heated commentary from small investors to giant pension funds and even the pope.

Supervisors interviewed the seven candidates yesterday before deciding on who would move to the public forum on Nov. 10, following the firing of Christina Corpus for allegations of
retaliation and nepotism. County Executive Mike Callagy said 12 people submitted applications, but did not reach the board’s requirements.
Lazar received votes from all five board members. Lazar retired in March from SFPD.
Lazar said he was the “polar oppo-
site” of Undersheriff Dan Perea and is ready to roll up his sleeves and take charge of the sheriff’s office. Perea spent his career at SFPD before joining Corpus’ executive team last year.
“This is not going to be SFPD 2.0. I am not bringing that culture, and I’m not bringing that department here,” Lazar said.
Lazar said he does not plan to bring

Pelosi announces retirement
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi will not seek reelection to the U.S. House, bringing to a close her storied career as not only the first woman in the speaker’s office but arguably the most powerful in American politics.
Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco for nearly 40 years, announced her decision yesterday.
“I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,” Pelosi said in a video address to voters.
Pelosi, appearing upbeat and forward-looking as images of her decades of accomplishments filled the frames, said she would finish out her final year in office. And she left those who sent her to Congress with a call to action to carry on the legacy of agenda-setting both in the U.S. and around the world.
“My message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power,” she

Stanford, ex-diversity employee settle
BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer
On the eve of a trial, Stanford University has settled a lawsuit with a Black administrator who said he and his colleagues were underpaid and overworked on a diversity team that reviewed college applications.
Latif Legend, 41, of Mountain View, was scheduled to go to trial against Stanford on Monday, but his attorney filed a notice of settlement instead.
The details of the settlement, including how much Stanford paid Legend, weren’t disclosed in the notice.
Legend worked at Stanford from
October 2017 to January 2024, when he was fired as the associate director of admissions on the diversity outreach team.
Stanford allegedly gave Legend more responsibilities than his white coworkers, yet he was paid the same

Airports brace for impact
U.S. airlines began canceling hundreds of flights yesterday due to the Federal Aviation Administration’s order to reduce traffic at the country’s busiest airports starting Friday because of the government shutdown.
Nearly 700 flights planned for today were cut from airline schedules, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks flight disruptions. That number, already four times higher than yesterday’s daily total, was likely to keep climbing.
The 40 airports selected by the FAA span more than two dozen states and include hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to a list distributed to the airlines and obtained by The Associated Press. This includes SFO and Oakland airports.
10% reduction
The FAA seeks to reduce service by 10% across “high-volume” markets to maintain travel safety
as air traffic controllers exhibit signs of strain during the shutdown. The move also comes as the Trump administration is ramping up pressure on Democrats in Congress to end the shutdown.
Hours before the reductions went into place, airlines were scrambling to figure out where to cut. American Airlines said it reduced its schedule at the listed airports by 4% from Friday through Monday, about 220 cancellations each day.
ADOPT JAN
Jan is a one-year-old pit bull/husky mix who’s living with her foster family until her forever family finds her. If that is you, you are in for a treat. Jan is with her foster family so she can get used to and comfortable with all the sights and sounds of city life. She has also learned to be a great and confident hiker. She’s a chill girl who prefers hanging out over rough or rowdy play. She doesn’t mind mellow dog friends if they’re well-matched, but she’s also OK being an only child and getting all your love! Jan absolutely loves swimming in pools and playing in the backyard! She loves to give kisses when she snuggles with her people. And perhaps greatest of all, she loves to play with squeaky toys, balls, and treat-filled kongs. Since Jan ID# A958569 is not at the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet her by emailing behavior@phs-spca. org. Visit www.phs-spca.org for more information or call 650-340-7022 with questions.
THE UPDATE FROM PAGE 1
Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during President Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington has been found innocent of assault. A viral video of the incident made Sean Charles Dunn a symbol of resistance to Trump’s deployment of federal agents to combat crime in the nation’s capital.
CAN’T CHOOSE: The Supreme Court is allowing President Trump’s administration to enforce a policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gender identity. Yesterday’s decision is Trump’s latest win on the high court’s emergency docket and means his Republican administration can enforce the policy while a lawsuit over it plays out.
PELOTON RECALL: Peloton is recalling nearly 878,000 of its exercise bikes across the U.S. and Canada because the products’ seat posts can break during use, posing fall hazards, according to notices published by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Proposed police, fire HQ advances
BY DANIEL SCHRAGER Daily Post Staff Writer
A painting of a historic building might not be a substitute for the real thing, but sometimes it’s close enough, Mountain View’s City Council decided.
Council voted Tuesday to approve an environmental review of a proposed three-story, 75,000 square foot headquarters for its police and fire departments, but struggled with how to best preserve the existing building, which has stood at 1000 Villa St. since 1980.
The current headquarters, designed by Goodwin Steinberg, will have to be demolished to make room for the replacement.
Steinberg is considered an “innovative” and “influential” architect, according to a report by Senior Project Manager Naveen Govind, and the building is a prime example of his style. It’s eligible for a state register of historic places, though buildings typically need to be 50 years old to qualify, because of Steinberg’s prominence, the report said.
Public art budget
Councilwoman Alison Hicks suggested the city spend some of the project’s $400,000 public art budget on paintings of the existing building, along with other artwork showing the site’s past.
“We’ve held other private developers to higher standards regarding historic preservation,” Hicks said at the meeting. “I think we have the leeway to hold ourselves to higher standards here.”
After adding Hicks’ recommendation, Council approved of the environmental review unanimously.
The review found that the new building won’t have a significant impact on its environment other than Steinberg’s design.
It said there’s no way to preserve the building but that the aims of the project
SNEAK PEEK — This rendering shows a planned police and fire headquarters in Mountain View.
outweighed the benefits of preserving the old building. Instead, the review suggested sending pictures, drawings and descriptions of the building to city and state archives while adding an exhibit about it to the new design.
Yearslong effort
Mountain View has been trying to replace the existing headquarters for two decades because the building doesn’t meet earthquake-safety standards, according to Mayor Ellen Kamei.
“This is something the city’s been talking about for over 20 years because we have people who are here to provide public safety who are in an unsafe building themselves — it’s not seismically retrofitted,” Kamei said.
The project can now move on to its funding phase.
Council will consider a funding plan for the project in December and the first round of demolitions in the spring, according to David Printy, a project manager with the public works department.
The new building is expected to cost around $200 million.
Between 35% and 40% of the money brought in by Measure G, a 2024 ballot initiative that created a tax on real estate sales over $6 million, could be used for the project, Council said last September.
Giving
Thursday, November 27 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Not everyone has someone to give thanks with, or a home where they can celebrate. Kemal Kurt and his family would like to share a traditional Thanksgiving meal, free of charge, to those who are less fortunate.
A new destination for high-end hair artistry has landed in Menlo Park. Founded by celebrity hairstylists Brandon Liberati and Vicki Casciola, Starship Salon wants to make every client feel like a star.
“We do work a lot with celebrities, and we want everyone to leave here feeling like a star,” said co-founder Vicki Casciola. “For us, it’s about the experience — a place that’s fun, Zen, and inspiring.”
the best of the BAY AREA
Starship Salon takes off in Menlo Park
Liberati, who has worked with celebrities ranging from Lady Gaga and the B-52s to Khloe Kardashian, has worked as a stylist and beauty expert for more than 20 years. He got his start working at Juut in Palo Alto and then for several years at The Industry Hair Artists in Menlo Park. Even after he moved to Los Angeles, he would frequently commute back to Menlo Park to work with regular clients. Casciola, a Las Vegas native, started styling hair at just 10 years old and is now recognized globally as one of the industry’s leading extension artists.
Casciola said one thing that drew her to co-found the salon in Menlo Park was the realization that there was no full-time extension artist there and that a lot of women were going to San Francisco for that service. She says the softer, effortless Californianatural look that’s popular here takes considerable skill and experience to achieve.
The boutique offers cuts and styling, coloring, extensions, keratin treatments and more, and all services are by appointment. The other team members at the salon are all stylists Liberati has known and worked with for years.
“I like to say hair is the crown you never take off,”
Casciola said. “If your hair looks good, you feel good — it changes how you move through the world.”
Casciola said the pair plan to start a First Thursdays event where they host community gatherings with cocktails. They also plan to offer monthly classes taught by Liberati, Casciola, or guest artists from across the country.
The salon opened last month with a star-studded bash that included a performance by the Go-Go’s, and Casciola said that the response since then “has been incredible,” and that they are excited to share their creative energy with the community.
“At Starship, we believe hair should be an adventure – something that not only elevates your look but also feeds your spirit,” said Liberati. “We want our clients to step into the salon and feel like they’re transported somewhere truly out of this world.”

Apparent incident shuts train tracks
San Mateo County Sheriff’s deputies roped off Caltrain tracks yesterday afternoon after an apparent accident near the intersection of Alma Street and Palo Alto Avenue.
Officers wouldn’t provide details on the incident that happened around 3:30 p.m., and directed questions to Caltrain.
Caltrain didn’t respond to inquiries from the Post.
However, the train was delayed for several hours after the incident, with trains using only the southbound tracks through the area.
Seven deaths this year
Caltrain no longer announces to the public when a death occurs on its tracks in an effort to stop copycat suicides.
As of August, seven people had died on Caltrain tracks in 2025. Last year, 19 people died on the tracks, the most since 2015.
Earlier this year, Caltrain implemented sensors at the Churchill Avenue crossing designed to stop trains if someone enters the tracks and said at the time it planned other safety improvements over the course of the year.
After a Palo Alto teenager was killed by a train in August, a group of local parents said they’re attempting to relaunch a volunteer watch program alongside the tracks, which originated in 2009 amid a rise in suicides. The city later hired security guards to monitor the tracks.
In 2018, the city spent $1.5 million on an electronic detection system that replaced security guards with cameras and thermal sensors that alert police when people are on the tracks.
Help is available. If you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis, call or text the 24/7 suicide and crisis lifeline at 988.
2 held in lighter thefts
A man and woman were arrested this week after allegedly stealing about $10,000 worth of high-end cigar lighters from a San Mateo business, police said.
Police responded Oct. 21 to a bur-
glary report at a store in the 2400 block of South El Camino Real.
Officers said that on Oct. 20, Kiersten Kinser, 33, of San Francisco, distracted an employee while Dustin Becker, 40, of El Granada, took the items.

Zuckerberg, Chan shift philanthropy
For the past decade, Dr. Priscilla Chan and her husband Mark Zuckerberg have focused part of their philanthropy on a lofty goal — “to cure, prevent or manage all disease” — if not in their lifetime, then in their children’s. But during that time, they also funded underprivileged schools, immigration reform and efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion.
Now, the billionaire couple is shifting the bulk of their philanthropic resources to Biohub, the pair’s science organization, and focusing on using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific discovery. The idea is to develop virtual, AI-based cell models to understand how they work in the human body, study inflammation and use AI to “harness the immune system” for disease detection, prevention and treatment.
“I feel like the science work that we’ve done, the Biohub model in particular, has been the most impactful thing that we have done. So we want to really double down on that. Biohub is going to be the main focus of our philanthropy going forward,” Zuckerberg said Wednesday evening at an event at the Biohub Imaging Institute in Redwood City. Three other Biohub institutes — in New York, San Francisco and Chicago, focus on addressing different scientific challenges.
Billions given, pledged Chan and Zuckerberg have pledged 99% of their lifetime wealth — from shares of Meta Platforms, where Zuckerberg is CEO — toward these efforts. Since 2016, when Biohub launched, they have donated $4 billion to basic science research, a figure that does not include operating expenses for running a large-scale computer cluster for life science research. The organization says it is now on track to double that amount over the next decade, with an operating budget of about $1 billion a year.

Last week, singer Billie Eilish told an audience that included Chan and Zuckerberg that rich people should do more to address the world’s problems.
“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me,” she said, to a smattering of applause. “And if you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? And no hate, but give your money away, shorties.”
Recent criticism
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the couple’s charitable organization, has been faced with criticism recently for curtailing its other philanthropic work. Earlier this year, it stopped funding grants related to diversity, equity and inclusion, immigration advocacy and other issues currently in the crosshairs of the Trump administration — though the focus has been shifting to science and away from social issues for years, the couple says, long before the 2024 election.
“So we basically looked at the ecosystem of science funding and decided that the place that we can make the biggest impact was on tool development,” Zuckerberg said. “And specifically working on long-term projects, 10 to 15 years, where the output of them was taking on a biological challenge that would produce a tool that scientists everywhere could use to accelerate the pace of science.”
The organization earlier this year scrubbed its website’s mentions of DEI, including a statement saying “People of color and marginalized communities have experienced a long history of exploitation in the name of scientific research, and indeed science has itself been deployed as a tool of oppression.” Zuckerberg and Chan’s increased commitment to science research comes as the Trump administration has cut billions in scientific research and public health funding.

Our immune system has a dark side: It’s supposed to fight off invaders to keep us healthy. But sometimes it turns traitor and attacks our own cells and tissues.
What are called autoimmune diseases can affect just about every part of the body — and tens of millions of people. While most common in women, these diseases can strike anyone, adults or children, and they’re on the rise.
New research is raising the prospect of treatments that might do more than tamp down symptoms. Dozens of clinical trials are testing ways to reprogram an immune system-gone-rogue. Other researchers are hunting ways to at least delay brewing autoimmune diseases.
“This is probably the most exciting time that we’ve ever had to be in autoimmunity,” said Dr. Amit Saxena, a rheumatologist at NYU Langone Health.
About autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases are chronic diseases that can range from mild to life-threatening, more than 100 with
different names depending on how and where they do damage. Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis attack joints. Sjogren’s disease is known for dry eyes and mouth. Myositis and myasthenia gravis weaken muscles in different ways, the latter by attacking how nerves signal them. Lupus has widely varied symptoms including a butterfly-shaped facial rash, joint and muscle pain, fevers and damage to the kidneys, lungs and heart.
They’re also capricious: Even patients faring well for long periods can suddenly have a “flare” for no apparent reason.
Difficult to diagnosis
Many autoimmune diseases start with vague symptoms that come and go or mimic other illnesses. Many also have overlapping symptoms — rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s also can harm major organs, for example.
Diagnosis can take multiple tests, including some blood tests to detect antibodies that mistakenly latch onto healthy tissue. It usually centers on
symptoms and involves ruling out other causes. Depending on the disease it can take years and seeing multiple doctors before one puts the clues together.
Immune system confusion
The human immune system is a complex army with sentinels to detect threats like germs or cancer cells, a variety of soldiers to attack them, and peacemakers to calm things down once the danger is over. Key is that it can distinguish what’s foreign from what’s “you,” what scientists call tolerance.
Sometimes confused immune cells or antibodies slip through, or the peacemakers can’t calm things down after a battle. If the system can’t spot and fix the problem, autoimmune diseases gradually develop.
‘Environmental’ trigger
Most autoimmune diseases, especially in adults, aren’t caused by a specific gene defect. Instead, a variety of genes that affect immune functions can make people susceptible. Scientists say it then takes some “environmental”
trigger, such as an infection, smoking or pollutants, to set the disease into motion. For example, the Epstein-Barr virus is linked to MS.
Scientists are zeroing in on the earliest molecular triggers. For example, white blood cells called neutrophils are first responders to signs of infection or injury — but abnormally overactive ones are suspected of playing a key role in lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.
Women are at highest risk
Women account for about 4 of 5 autoimmune patients, many of them young. Hormones are thought to play a role. But also, females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y. Some research suggests an abnormality in how female cells switch off that extra X can increase women’s vulnerability.
Certain populations also have higher risks. For example, lupus is more common in Black and Hispanic women. Northern Europeans have a higher risk of multiple sclerosis than other groups.

You Might Be Eating a Credit Card in Plastic Every Week -
And It Could Be Killing Your Future
The Real Gut Doctor Exposes the Hidden Health Crisis Lurking in Your Food, Water, and Air - and Why It’s Silently Rewiring Your Body.
By Dr. Frances Mark, Pharm.D.- Longevity Concierge Dr. Jeffrey Mark, M.D. - The Real Gut Doctor
It sounds impossible, but the truth is chilling. The average person may be consuming the equivalent of a credit card’s worth of plastic every week. Global studies show that microplastics are now in nearly every human organ tested: our hearts, our brains, our blood, even the cells that create new life. These fragments are not passive. They are foreign invaders, infiltrating your arteries, short-circuiting your hormones, inflaming your brain, and quietly dismantling the body’s repair systems from the inside out.
What once felt like science fiction has become a modern medical emergency. Plastic particles are being discovered in living human heart tissue, in the plaques of arteries removed during bypass surgery, and in brain samples of patients suffering from dementia. This isn’t a distant environmental issue. It’s a personal one. It’s not just that plastic surrounds us. It’s that it has entered us. Each sip of bottled water, each reheated takeout meal, and each breath of city air brings more of these synthetic fragments into your bloodstream, your gut, and your most vital organs.
Emerging evidence now connects this invisible invasion to some of the most devastating chronic conditions of our time. When microplastics enter your bloodstream, they carry toxic chemicals like BPA and phthalates, potent endocrine disruptors that hijack hormonal balance and accelerate aging. Studies are showing associations between plastic accumulation and insulin resistance, hypertension, infertility, thyroid disorders, dementia, and even early cardiovascular death. These particles trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune confusion; the root mechanisms that underlie nearly every modern disease. The frightening part? You won’t feel it happening until it’s far too late.
At All Functional Health, we have dedicated our careers to exposing these silent health saboteurs. Traditional medicine is not equipped to find or fix this level of cellular damage. Standard lab tests cannot detect microplastic toxicity or the hormonal chaos it creates. That’s why our clinic developed the TOXIC BURDEN EVALUATION ; a precision testing protocol that identifies hidden plastic metabolites, inflammatory biomarkers, endocrine disruption, vascular oxidation, and gut permeability. It’s an advanced, science-backed assessment designed to catch what everyone else misses, and to give you the roadmap to reverse it.
If you’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, infertility, or cardiovascular issues while being told “your labs are normal,” the answer may not lie in your diet or your stress levels. It may be buried in microscopic fragments of plastic lodged in your tissues. Every day that goes by without understanding your toxic load is another day your body continues the slow burn of cellular damage. Once embedded, these particles can remain for decades, corroding your health from within.
All Functional Health is not just another wellness practice. We are the nation’s leading authority in Functional, Regenerative, and Longevity Medicine, built on a mission to redefine what true healthcare means. We don’t manage disease. We dismantle it at the root. Our patients don’t come to us because they’re sick. They come because they refuse to settle for “fine.” They come because they want energy, clarity, strength, fertility, and a future that lasts
The question isn’t whether you have microplastics inside you; the evidence says you do. The question is how much damage they’ve already done, and how long you’re willing to ignore it. Prevention is not about fear. It’s about freedom. The freedom to live unburdened, to reclaim the vitality that modern life has stolen, and to protect the future you’ve worked so hard to build.
We invite you to take the first step toward reclaiming that freedom. Schedule your personalized Toxic Burden Evaluation today. Call (650) 586-3988 or visit www.AllFunctionalHealth.com. Don’t wait for disease to define your story. The silent invasion has already begun, but at All Functional Health, we know how to fight back.

Entertainment Sydney Sweeney gets fierce in ‘Christy’
BY JOCELYN NOVECK
Associated Press Writer
At one point deep into “Christy,” the boxer Christy Martin, played with ferocious commitment by Sydney Sweeney, describes how she feels being in the ring. It’s not what you’d expect.
It’s where she finds quiet, she says.
Such a line at the beginning of this two-hour plus film would have been laughable, given that the ring is obviously hectic, loud, bloody — and terrifying, to most of the world. But when Martin says it, we get it. The ring is where Christy can be in control. Outside — and especially at home, in the bedroom — is where life gets truly scary.
Trailblazing boxer
“Christy,” directed by David Michod, begins as a solid sports biopic, the based-on-true-events story of Martin, a hot-tempered teen from coal-mining country who fell into boxing and became a trailblazer for women in the sport. That’s the triumph part.
But then comes the tragedy: the horrific abuse that she suffered at the
hands of her trainer and husband, Jim Martin. And that’s of course where the boxing montages stop. In its final act, “Christy” goes darker than anything we’re prepared for.
The mashup of genres may feel a bit tonally rough, but it ultimately works, not least because of its unifying factor: Sweeney, who imbues her no-holdsbarred portrayal of Martin with both sweetness and rage, with brio and real vulnerability. The actor’s background in MMA fighting was clearly essential for the role, for which she bulked up considerably (a la De Niro in “Raging Bull”) and trained extensively. (She also donned a brown mullet wig and
wore brown contact lenses, further distancing herself visually from Sydney Sweeney the movie star.)
Rise and abuse
We begin in 1989 in small-town West Virginia, where Martin lives with her parents, a loving but weak father (Ethan Embry) and an obtuse and intolerant mother (Merritt Wever). When Christy gets the chance to make $500 in a boxing match thanks to a local promoter, she grabs it.
At the gym, she meets a trainer, Jim (Ben Foster, a bumbling and eventually chilling villain). Unfortunately, being trained by Jim also means having

to submit to him in other ways. She goes home, but he lures her back with promises of better fights in Florida, life near the beach, and a meeting with promoter Don King.
Well, Christy doesn’t get the beach but she does get … a husband. Jim, increasingly jealous and paranoid, makes a highly unpleasant marriage proposal. Christy obviously feels she has no choice.
After her first big fight, the movie shifts — to a gut-wrenching drama of domestic abuse. If you know the story of Christy Martin, you’ll know she barely escaped her marriage alive.
“The Lady is a Champ,” blared the cover of Sports Illustrated when it put Martin on its cover in 1996, the first female boxer to occupy that hallowed space. Emerging from “Christy,” we understand that what made her a champ had more to do with her ultimate resilience outside the ring than with her jabs and hooks inside it.

Rock Hall reveals look at ceremony
Chappell Roan will induct Cyndi Lauper, Donald Glover will induct Outkast and Elton John will perform a tribute to the late Brian Wilson at tomorrow’s induction ceremony for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The Rock Hall of Fame generally stays quiet about the roles to be played by the long list of superstar guests announced for the show, but this week has brought a trickle of revelations about who’s paying tribute to which inductees.
The show will stream live on Disney+ then become available on Hulu the following day, with a highlights special airing on ABC on Jan. 1.
Along with Lauper and Outkast, the inductees will be Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Soundgarden, Joe Cocker, Salt-N-Pepa, The White Stripes, Carole Kaye, Nicky Hopkins, Lenny Waronker, Thom Bell and Warren Zevon.
Questions abound
Will the two duos that lit up the early 2000s, Outkast and The White Stripes, reunite? Outkast members Andre 3000 and Big Boi last performed together in 2016. Andre 3000 has said in recent
years that he’s not interested in performing with the group or rapping at all, but Rock Hall ceremonies have a tendency to be the exception to such declarations.
White Stripes drummer Meg White has not performed with her ex-husband Jack White since 2011, and has led a very private life since. She could appear back at her drum kit or at least show up to accept the honor.
What are all the other special guests doing? David Letterman seems virtually certain to be inducting the late singer-songwriter Zevon. He was a friend and huge fan who constantly had Zevon as a guest on his show, including an emotional final appearance when the singer was dying of cancer. Jim Carrey similarly seems to be a likely inductor of Soundgarden, as a longtime devoted fan.
How the ceremony works
Typically, someone with a connection to the artist gives an induction presentation, then the artist plays a few songs representative of their career, then gives their acceptance speech.
If the artist is dead, or a no-show, or can’t or doesn’t want to take the stage, someone performs their songs in tribute. If key members of a band have died, the surviving members often play with guests.

CHAPPELL ROAN
NYC to honor JFK reporter Kilgallen
BY DAVE PRICE Daily Post Editor
New York City officials tomorrow will rename a portion of East 68th Street near Park Avenue after Dorothy Kilgallen, a pioneering journalist who was investigating the assassination of President Kennedy when she mysteriously died at her townhouse nearby. Kilgallen’s career and the investigation into Kennedy’s death were highlighted in bestselling books by local author Mark Shaw.
Kilgallen, who died at age 52, was known to most Americans as a sharp questioner in the game show “What’s My Line?” But her main job was that of a newspaper columnist who was one of America’s first investigative reporters.
Final days
In the days before Kilgallen died, many witnesses saw that she was carrying a satchel full of papers believed to be associated with JFK’s death. Those papers disappeared when her body was found. Shaw’s investigation suggests
strongly that the FBI got to her townhouse before police and removed those papers and other evidence that would have linked the bureau to Kennedy’s assassination on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas.
The official cause of Kilgallen’s death was ruled acute ethanol and barbiturate intoxication. But Shaw, in his
ON THE CASE — Dorothy Kilgallen at her typewriter. File photo.
book “The Reporter Who Knew Too Much,” raised questions about the strange state of the scene where she was found — she was in a different bedroom than usual, fully dressed, and her friends noted the room appeared staged. These facts suggested her death was not accidental and might be connected to her investigation into the assassination. Shaw’s investigation showed that Kilgallen died when her drink was spiked with three lethal drugs by a man with whom she was having an affair.
Kilgallen wasn’t only a columnist for the Hearst newspaper syndicate, but she had been a regular panelist for years on CBS-TV’s “What’s My Line,” a high-brow game show. A guess would appear and the four-member panel would get to ask questions to determine what line of work they did. She also had a morning radio show on ABC radio that aired across the country.
RFK assassination
Power.”
Shaw also believes Marcello, who died in 1993, was behind the assassination of JFK.
One jaw-dropping revelation in “Abuse of Power” is that Marcello told a fellow federal prison inmate, “Yeah, I had the son of a bitch killed. I’m glad I did it. I’m sorry I couldn’t do it myself.”
Shaw’s latest book is “Abuse of Power,” which refutes the theory that Sirhan Sirhan killed Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of John Kennedy, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. The book also disputes the theory held by Robert Kennedy Jr. that his father was killed by the CIA. Shaw, an attorney, uses “Abuse of Power” to blame New Orleans mafia don Carlos Marcello as the man behind the killing.
Shaw contends the evidence he has gathered is enough to give Sirhan Sirhan a new trial.
J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI director at the time, shut off any further investigation into RFK’s assassination by proclaiming that “Sirhan alone” was responsible, just as Hoover had declared that “Oswald alone” was behind JFK’s death.

SHERIFF ––––––
anyone from SFPD into the sheriff’s office. When he picks his executive team, he wants to work with the deputies’ and sergeants’ unions who know the ins and outs, Lazar said.
‘Last outside sheriff’
He said he would work on developing current employees to make sure he is the “last outside sheriff.”
Lazar said when he was a sergeant, he learned to work in jails and held positions in San Francisco’s facilities.
Supervisor David Canepa asked Lazar how he would fix the sheriff’s office reserves, which have gone from $30 million to $2 million.
“I am probably the only candidate that has the largest budget coming from San Francisco with $800 million,” Lazar said.
Lazar said if he were to become sheriff, he would not work with ICE. He would also have an audit to look into the organization’s funds, deputies and how much training they have had and internal affairs.
Binder and Travis were tied with four votes. Supervisors Jackie Speier, Noelia Corzo, Ray Mueller and Lisa Gauthier voted for Binder. Supervisors Speier, Corzo, Mueller and Canepa voted for Travis.
Supervisor squabble
In the middle of interviewing candidates, Canepa and Mueller disagreed about the order in which supervisors asked questions. Canepa told Mueller to go first, but he disagreed on changing the order they had already agreed on. Mueller told Canepa the board could vote to change who was leading the meeting. Canepa, as board president, runs the meetings.
“This is really unprofessional in front of someone we are interviewing,” Gauthier said.
Speier then said she’d start questioning Binder.
Canepa asked Binder if he was involved in the previous controversy in the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office. Binder became acting sheriff in November 2022 after former Sheriff Laurie Smith resigned before a jury ruled whether she had traded concealed carry permits for campaign donations and event tickets. Binder said his only involvement was testifying before the civil grand jury.
Binder said he was able to stabilize the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office, and many other deputies would go to him because he was straightforward and honest. He said all the candidates can tell the board how they will restore trust and morale in the sheriff’s office, but what is needed is a leadership model over time. Binder is currently the acting chief in Gilroy. His brother is Palo Alto’s police chief, Andrew Binder.
One of the first things Binder would do if he got the position is look into all the internal affairs investigations and retaliation allegations and see if they are legitimate, he said.
“If they don’t seem to have merit, they’re going to come back to work right away,” Binder said.
Bring back familiar faces
Binder said he would have former Undersheriff Chris Hsiung come back to be part of his executive team. He also said he has discussed with former Assistant Sheriff Ryan Monghan about possibly coming back.
Binder said he wants people who are trustworthy and already know the organization. He also envisions filling in spots with current deputies.
Binder also expressed interest in having an audit to see how he can improve the budget.
“I wouldn’t spend $7,000 on a table at my house and I wouldn’t do it with the people’s money here either,” Binder said.
In January, the Post reported Corpus had purchased a $74,000 conference room table.
Like a homecoming
Travis said that becoming sheriff would be like coming home after growing up in San Mateo County. Travis, who has worked for the Solano County Sheriff’s Office for 14 years, said he did not deal with the budget personally but is well-versed in grants. He would look for more revenue streams to help with the budget.
In the first 90 days, if he were elected sheriff, he would seek input from the unions to help him build an executive team, Travis said. Just like the college he works at currently, he wants to give the community a police force they can trust and not work with ICE.
Travis has also worked in South San Francisco for nine years and has 26 years of military experience.
“If appointed, I will lead with integrity, compassion and accountability,” Travis said.
Sgt. David Weidner, the only internal candidate,
Robert Yick, who is second in command for the San Francisco State University Police Department and Hillsborough City Manager Doug Davis did not advance. Yick had one vote from Canepa and Davis had one from Gauthier. Weidner did not get any votes.
13-year old incident
Davis was questioned by Speier about a memo that was emailed to Supervisors yesterday morning about an altercation on Dec. 26, 2012. The Post also received the memo stating Davis was drunk and used his authority as captain to bully another person at Piacere Restaurant in San Carlos, which has since closed. A worker who was interviewed said they always have to watch out for Davis as he had previously been kicked out twice, according to the memo.
Davis said the incident was investigated and he was cleared of any wrongdoing.
San Francisco Capt. Kevin Lee withdrew his application this morning, saying he was happy where he was and endorsed Lazar.
Residents will be able to submit questions before Friday for the finalists to answer on Nov. 10.
Supervisors will be appointing a sheriff on Nov. 12. The position pays just under $362,000 a year.
$92,700 salary — just shy of being categorized as low income in Santa Clara County, his lawsuit said.
“Stanford University employees — especially those on the diversity team — have been ‘suffering in silence’ regarding compensation,” his suit said.
Stanford executives told Legend to find a roommate or work for Uber or Doordash, the suit said.
“Such suggestions are absurd for high-level employees (such as Mr. Legend) who work at one of the top Ivy League universities in the country,” his attorney Lori Costanzo wrote.
Denied the allegations
Stanford’s attorneys denied Legend’s allegations in Santa Clara County Superior Court, without getting into specifics. The university did not return a request for comment yesterday.
Employees on the diversity team were assigned extra duties that other employees didn’t have in the Office of Undergraduate Admission, the lawsuit said.
For example, the diversity team did an extra read
ing of applications from people with diverse back
grounds to see if they should be considered, the

TRAVIS
lawsuit said. Diversity team employees were also liaisons to various “diversity centers” on top of their regular workload, helping with recruitment and advocating for changes at Stanford. Legend worked with the Black Community Services Center.
Legend took issue with the name of a company that was hired to work with Stanford on diversity trainings: Hotep Consultants. He said he complained to Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid Richard Shaw.
“Hotep” is an Egyptian greeting that translates to ‘at peace.’ But it’s been used negatively to describe someone who’s “loudly, conspicuously and obnoxiously pro-Black but anti-progress,” according to an article that Legend included in his lawsuit.
Wouldn’t buy a new chair
Legend said he was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome on Sept. 2, 2021. He asked his supervisor, Assistant Dean Yamilet Medina Lopez, for a new chair with more back support, based on a doctor’s recommendation.
But Lopez told Legend there were “not enough funds,” according to the lawsuit.
Legend said he received his first negative review after he asked Lopez for the chair, and then he was written up for not responding to her messages while he was working from home.
Legend said he filed a complaint with Stanford’s Human Resources, but the investigation was “a sham” handled by the same administrators who he complained about.
Stanford closed the investigation with a one-sentence conclusion denying Legend’s claims without giving a reason, and then Legend was fired rather than having his medical leave extended, the suit said. Legend filed his lawsuit in April 2024.
PELOSI –––
said. “We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way.”
Pelosi said, “And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
The decision, while not fully unexpected, ricocheted across Washington, and California, as a seasoned generation of political leaders is stepping aside ahead of next year’s midterm elections. Some are leaving reluctantly, others with resolve, but many are facing challenges from newcomers eager to lead the Democratic Party and confront President Donald Trump.
Pelosi, 85, remains a political powerhouse and played a pivotal role with California’s redistricting effort, Prop 50, and the party’s comeback in this week’s election. She maintains a robust schedule of public events and party
fundraising, and her announced departure touches off a succession battle back home and leaves open questions about who will fill her behind-thescenes leadership role at the Capitol.
Former President Barack Obama said Pelosi will go down in history as “one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had.”
An unmatched force
An architect of the Affordable Care Act during Obama’s tenure, and a leader on the international stage, Pelosi came to Congress later in life, a mother of five mostly grown children, but also raised in a political family in Baltimore, where her father and brother both served in elected office.
Long criticized by Republicans, who have spent millions of dollars on campaign ads vilifying her as a coastal elite and more, Pelosi remained unrivaled. She routinely fended off calls to step aside by turning questions about her intentions into spirited rebuttals, asking if the same was being posed of her seasoned male colleagues on Capitol Hill.
In her video address, she noted that her first campaign slogan was “a voice that will be heard.”
And with that backing, she became a speaker “whose voice would certainly be heard,” she said.
Led Biden’s withdrawal
But after Pelosi quietly helped orchestrate Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, she has decided to pass the torch, too.
Last year, she experienced a fall resulting in a hip fracture during a whirlwind congressional visit to allies in Europe, but even still it showcased her grit: It was revealed she was rushed to a military hospital for surgery — after the group photo, in which she’s seen smiling, poised on her trademark stiletto heels.
Pelosi became the first speaker to regain the office in some 50 years, and her second term, from 2019 to 2023, became potentially more consequential than the first, particularly as the Democratic Party’s antidote to Trump.
Pelosi's decision also comes as her husband of more than six decades, Paul Pelosi, was gravely injured three years ago when an intruder demanding to know “Where is Nancy?” broke into the couple’s home and beat him over the head with a hammer. His recovery from the attack, days before the 2022 midterm elections, is ongoing.
Faced challengers
Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, Pelosi faced a potential primary challenge in California. Newcomer Saikat Chakrabarti, who helped devise progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s rise in New York, has mounted a campaign, as has state Sen. Scott Wiener.
