'Stop. Now': Democratic rivals react as group backed by Bay Area crypto billionaires pours $1.6 million into North Bay Assembly race (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Move over, Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Tobacco. There’s a new member of the club of “big, bad, boogeymen” in politics, as Sonoma State University political science professor David McCuan terms it. Big Tech now finds itself in that nationwide nemesis role amid blowback over the warnings about artificial intelligence and broad opposition to data centers — a shockwave extending into the Democrat-on-Democrat race for California’s 12th Assembly District, which covers Marin County and southern Sonoma
Analysis: How the $15 million Foppoli verdict exposes Sonoma County's 'old boy network' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was not unusual, during breaks in the trial of ex-Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli, for bailiffs and attorneys on the second floor of the Sonoma County civil courthouse to see jurors engaging in Qigong, an ancient Chinese practice blending movement and patterned breathing.

The Times investigation uncovered evidence and extensive claims that Chavez had groomed and sexually abused girls and women who worked in the movement, including Dolores Huerta, who co-founded with him the organization that became United Farm Workers. The shocking news put schools and municipa
Grounded fishing boat on Point Reyes beach to be dismantled – after tons of rotten squid are removed from hold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Work crews are well along in their unenviable and aromatic task involving the 58-foot Lake Bay, a fishing vessel that ran aground Aug. 22 on Point Reyes National Seashore’s North Beach. Once the boat had been pulled by bulldozers out of the surf zone, a feat that took five days, salvagers turned their attention to the next phase of job: removing between 30 and 50 tons of congealed squid that had begun decomposing in the catch tank, below the main deck. On Wednesday afternoon, workers in white ha
