BREAKING: Laphonza Butler will not run for Senate next year, taking just 18 days since her appointment to fill the late Dianne Feinstein's seat to decide.

My first @nytimes byline:
San Franciscans are tired of hearing "Are you OK?" from people elsewhere who've heard about the city's terrible reputation. The truth, as San Franciscans point out, is far less awful and more nuanced. Had fun writing this one.

Thanks to the Tone family for sharing their tragic story. It is hard to imagine being in their impossible situation that day and now. @corinaknoll took great care to understand and describe what they went through. https://t.co/bJcPhytHmi

We can't wait to begin working with Heather! I've been a fan of her reporting for years, and we're excited to add another Californian with extensive knowledge of the Bay Area and the state.
Thrilled - with more than a twinge of sadness - to announce I'm leaving the @sfchronicle to become the @nytimes' San Francisco bureau chief. I'll be the Times' lead writer covering San Francisco and Northern California starting in September. Can't wait!

“To be clear, this was the state of Florida using its budget to move migrants in Texas to New Mexico and California,” @AGRobBonta said, calling the transport “morally bankrupt.” “These are migrants who never were in Florida.” via @NYTimes https://t.co/ZXwmdOL2V8
“Angelenos said they identified with a life circumscribed by huge, terrifying freeways. They loved that the cougar was a reminder that wilderness persists, against seemingly insurmountable odds.” @JillCowan via @NYTimes https://t.co/ZTsVvDcWWm
