My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be! For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself. We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hey gang. I am deeply saddened to say my position as The Sacramento Bee’s Kings beat writer was one of the many jobs eliminated Thursday as part of a massive wave of McClatchy Media layoffs across the country. My last day will be Oct. 9.

Some sad personal news: the Sacramento Bee’s three-reporter sports department has been eliminated during McClatchy’s sweeping layoffs, which means my eight-year run is coming to an end. I’m incredibly thankful for time spent with my wonderful colleagues and editors…

Tough day After 38 years at The Sacramento Bee, I was part of sweeping company layoffs. My last day is Oct. 9. I love my job & my role in the community. I thank coaches, athletes, media & especially readers & followers. I’m not done working. I’m excited about what’s next.

Please stop asking me for gift links every time I break a story. I get that everything on Earth is expensive, but goods and services cost money. We die without subscriptions. If you value journalism, pay for journalism.

NEW: The man known as the NorCal Rapist is now eligible for elder parole because of newer CA laws. “If he's not a danger to society, then I don't know what a danger to society is," Judge said at his hearing. @MBandurKCRA was only reporter in court room: kcra.com/article/norcal-rapi…

Today I went to VOA’s office to hand over my laptop, phone and press pass. It felt weird to be in such an empty newsroom.

Classless lol. Hahaha. I’m dying.
Bobby Hurley said Arizona’s players were classless in their chatter before Freeman’s head butt of Love, leading to his decision to not shake hands to try to avoid an escalation.

Significant earthquake in Humboldt County. Early reports of 6.6 magnitude centered near Scotia and Rio Dell. Widely felt throughout the North Coast, as far south of Sonoma County. We’re in contact with the County. More soon.

This story was written by a reporter who was nowhere near the California State Capitol on Saturday and rips a bunch of work from other journalists without citing them.

Donald Trump on Vice President Harris: “She’s totally against the Jewish people.” This would be news to her Jewish husband and her stepdaughters.

Well I hope the geniuses that pushed the most consequential President of our lifetime out, have a plan. WHO in the hell couldn’t sell the MF Accomplishments & win over a 34 time convicted Felon who isn’t even allowed to operate businesses in the state of NY (and therefore should automatically be disallowed from say running the country) & his ENTIRE team IS project 2025?! Joe wasn’t the problem… dems were. I know one thing, I will only work for @KamalaHarris! If it’s anyone OTHER than her, enjoy campaign season… I hope all of my disenchanted colleagues are able to find some walking shoes and get to work because I WILL NOT! FULL 🛑

I hope all of you anti Biden people are happy. You just forced the best President of our lifetimes off the ticket. What happens now is all on you.
