How a Sacramento woman’s grandad made it possible for Trump to threaten Greenland A Sacramento woman’s grandfather made a WWII Greenland deal that is sparking geopolitical debates today.

A mutual friend clued me into Sacramento resident Bettina Redway's connection to the geopolitical maelstrom surrounding Greenland, and it was too fascinating to keep to myself. www.sacbee.com/news/article...

McClatchy wants you to invest in a Sacramento Bee subscription, but the company doesn’t want to invest in its reporters.

Under management’s latest offer, seven local journalists would still make salaries low enough to qualify them for low-income housing.

Federal defendants in Sacramento walked free. The reason: No paid lawyers The U.S. government failed to pay defense lawyers for months, leading Sacramento federal judges to dismiss or delay cases.

My colleague Sharon Bernstein breaks an incredible story: The federal government shutdown sabotaged the work of law enforcement and prosecutors in at least eight cases in Sacramento. Wow! How could this happen?

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now.

You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

I never imagined people would use words like disgusting and despicable to describe a US president.

Ewwww

So are the killers who shot up a 2-year-old’s birthday party in Stockton, CA, a couple days after Thanksgiving. The FBI is definitely NOT performing up to the standard we expect.

SNAP crisis in Sacramento County prompts disaster response About 390,000 CalFresh enrollees in seven-county Sacramento region face pause in benefits; food banks brace for surging demand and hope for donations.

In the Sacramento region, the CalFresh pause has triggered a disaster response by one county government and the region's food banks. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

Low-wage California families could lose CalFresh stores under USDA proposal Stricter food stocking rules could force some corner stores out of the CalFresh program, limiting access in working class neighborhoods.

#SNAP “Requirements to increase staple foods come alongside the requirement for more items to be perishable, which will present challenges for smaller food retailers with limited refrigerated storage,” Cassandra Nguyen,
UCANR nutritionist, told @cathiea.bsky.social

It’s odd that the writer never mentions that Bezos sacrificed the paper’s credibility to score points. That’s why circulation plummeted, not because of the paper’s name, as stated here.

Tenants say county failing to act, enabling ‘renovictions’ at Arden Arcade complex Tenants urge Supervisor Rich Desmond to meet with them and adopt protections other local California governments already have.

Are Sacramento County supervisors doing enough to prevent homelessness? Palms tenants say they're at risk, and their county supervisor isn't providing the help they need. www.sacbee.com/news/equity-...

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

After shutting down, the Dems have to hold out for more than they first initiated. Only funding health care doesn’t seem like much of a win after the current regime’s gross and disgusting abuse of power in Chicago. They zip-tied children!

At one point this guy is like “I’m not arguing the merits of it, but the politics” and why the fuck not dude?! Maybe the problem with the media is that you’re NOT ARGUING THE MERITS OF IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR NOT

Literally last week every MAGA idiot around was insisting, loudly, how terrible it was that the Biden admin pressured YouTube to remove COVID misinfo, even as YouTube said it ignored the pressure. Those same folks will either be silent or cheer this on:

After Declining to Give Trump a Sword for King Charles, a Museum Leader Is Out

Very Trump-era story.
1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum.
2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property!
3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property.
4. The person who did the right thing was fired.

How Nevada County food entrepreneurs can take ideas to the next level A 10-class program launches Oct. 6 with scholarships and child care assistance to help foodmakers accelerate business growth.

This Nevada County initiative aims to build upon what local start-up experts saw as a growing interest in food entrepreneurship. www.sacbee.com/news/busines...

Overdoses linked to kratom compound kill 3 people in California, officials say The unregulated synthetic compound is sold at gas stations and smoke shops as a dietary aid, officials say.

This over-the-counter compound, frequently sold at gas stations, can be deadly if combined with alcohol or other substances. Many people aren't aware of the danger. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...

This is certainly not the norm, but I think many Americans end up in arrangements like this, effectively co-parenting their children’s more vulnerable friends. In some cases, the friends move in, and no parent ever comes looking for them. If they can keep the tax deduction, you can have their child.

SMUD shared customer data with police, prompting privacy, racism concerns Lawsuits say the public utility improperly shared its data with law enforcement agencies.

The more I read of this story, the more shocked, dismayed and angry I became at the privacy violations. My colleague Sharon Bernstein, a veteran journalist, covers the courts. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

He is really a brilliant comic.

Why Trump's tariffs may hit low-income households hardest President Trump's tariffs are almost "tailor-made" to hit the goods that lower income households prefer to purchase, says economist Ernie Tedeschi of Yale's nonpartisan Budget Lab.

Any dissent will be quashed. If this regime advocates child molestation, then every one of its followers also must advocate that. If you do not, you will be considered a danger to dear leader.

Torres: If the bill is so popular, why are the cuts largely delayed until after the midterm election? And if the bill surgically targets fraud, waste and abuse, why is it necessary to set up a $50 billion stabilization fund for rural hospitals?

The worst chief justice of all time Move over, Roger Taney and Melville Fuller.

New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time

"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.

How social work interns are changing lives at Sacramento public libraries ‘Sprinkling fairy dust:’ Social work interns help hundreds of Sacramento Public Library patrons solve problems with socioeconomic hardships.

Want to check out a book -- and a social worker -- at the public library? In a way, Sacramento residents can do just that. My story explains. Reading and subscribing to my work tells editors you want more coverage like this. www.sacbee.com/news/equity-...
