Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:44:00 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom in San Francisco on Wednesday assailed conservative attacks on voting rights, LGBTQ rights and books, tying the success of California’s businesses to “blue-state” Democratic values.“I’m watching 50 years, a half century of progress being wiped out,” Newsom said in a talk with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff at the software giant’s annual “Dreamforce” conference.“I’m very worried about what’s going on nationally. Folks want to bring us back to a pre-1960 world. This rights regression needs to be called out.”Newsom held up the far-right ideology of former President Donald Trump and other leaders espousing hardcore conservative views as barriers to social, environmental and economic progress.Newsom decried the banning of books, mentioning specifically the blocking of a book by a southern California school board over its mention of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk, who served on the San Franci...

49ers’ Fred Warner leads defense into rivalry week against Rams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:44:00 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Tackle No. 699 of Fred Warner’s career was unlike any other. It came with speed, power, force and a season-opening message.“That was the one you dream of, to set the tone,” Warner said of slamming Najee Harris for a 2-yard loss early in Sunday’s 30-7 win in Pittsburgh.With all due respect to the 49ers’ overall dominance, and without diminishing Drake Jackson’s three-sack outburst in Nick Bosa’s shadow, Warner delivered a hit so fierce it announced the 49ers’ familiar presence as Super Bowl contenders.“I haven’t seen anybody fly to the ball like that. He made the play before he even made the play,” defensive tackle Javon Hargrave said. “You just see him flash so quick. That was crazy. That set the tone.”Teammates were in awe over the sight and the sound of it. Having the NFL’s premier linebacker command this elite defense is critical, especially when Warner’s sidekick, Dre Greenlaw...

Lawmakers wrapping up the legislative session this week have sent dozens of bills to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk seeking his signature, covering weighty topics — guns, drugs, education, environment, discrimination, crime and punishment — and some far out stuff too, from marijuana cafes to magic mushrooms.There are a number of potential national firsts that could emerge from the country’s most populous state with Newsom’s approval. His Democratic Party wields supermajority control in the legislature, and the governor must sign, veto or allow bills to become law without his signature by Oct 14.Some potentially significant matters didn’t materialize or make it across the finish line, including an effort to keep insurers from bailing on California homeowners by making it easier for them to raise rates. Other significant bills may go down to the wire as the legislature wraps up Thursday night, including a couple of proposed constitutional amendments oppos...
