State Senator Scott Wiener, SF Supervisor Connie Chan, and onetime AOC campaign staffer Saikat Chakrabarti will all be participating. [Bay Area Reporter] A pedestrian was killed on Highway 4 in Antioch Monday morning, apparently while fleeing from police. [KTVU]"

"23-year-old animal rights activist Zoe Rosenberg has been freed from jail just weeks after her sentencing for stealing four chickens from a Petaluma farm with the remainder of her 90-day sentence to be served via jail alternatives. [Chronicle] 60 Minutes veteran correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says that CBS News pulled a segment she had reported for political reasons this past Sunday, and news editor Bari Weiss is to blame."

"One of the Jane Does in the Epstein Files says she was appalled to find her name unredacted in some of what the Department of Justice released today. [CNN] The DOJ appears to have released a falsified video of Jeffrey Epstein attempting suicide in his jail cell, a video that was never before said to exist, and now a link to it on the DOJ website has disappeared. [TMZ]"
