Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now.
Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing:

"I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

I’m glad we’ve figured out why the A’s are terrible. It’s the Sacramento ballpark. Of course.
Rosenthal: Blame the bullpen for the A’s struggles, but also blame their situation

The A's overestimated the demand for A's tickets in Sacramento. One possible factor, not mentioned in the story: This isn't A's country. A lot more Giants fans around here.

Cool moment at the A's game last night. A couple sitting across the aisle from us was barely holding it together after rookie Nick Kurtz had an RBI single in his first @mlb.com at-bat. Proud parents, we discovered. Glad @sacbee.com captured the moment.

While there were close calls in 2022, California hasn't had any blackouts since 2020 (which lasted two or three hours). You want big catastrophic blackouts? Try Texas.
Trump: "You will not be subject to the incredible blackout situation that's taking place in California, where they have blackouts and brownouts. They have blackouts and brownouts at levels that nobody has ever seen before."

Interesting story, with some details I haven’t seen reported elsewhere. But I think @evandrellich.bsky.social understates the level of enthusiasm here. People realize it’s only a 3-year rental but they’re buying tix in droves. They may not care about the A’s but they’re excited for MLB in Sac.
The A's three-year stopover in Sacramento on their way to Las Vegas is unusual in the extreme.

But now, a city is tentatively opening its arms — ready for Major League Baseball to arrive.

I covered numerous hearings at which Alsup presided, during the PG&E bankruptcy. He’s no-nonsense
Federal Judge Alsup has ruled that federal agencies must reinstate numerous probationary employees who were terminated by the Trump administration, calling the firings a “sham" and "unlawful."

Ten years ago, if Sacramento's state workers were told they only had to work in the office four days a week, there would be dancing in the streets. The governor's new back-to-work order will likely be met with some local amnesia. #CALeg #sacramento www.sacbee.com/opinion/arti...
