49ers’ leaders strongly endorse extensions of Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:39:11 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa is not the only one who agreed to an extension and pay raise before the 49ers’ season. So did coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, much to Bosa’s approval.“I appreciate being in an organization that’s stable,” Bosa said Wednesday. “I’ve seen other teams with friends, my brother (Joey, on the Los Angeles Chargers), people who have not really had a stable working environment, and I’m lucky to have that.”Bosa, three weeks after signing the NFL’s richest contract for a non-quarterback, lauded the cohesiveness of Shanahan and Lynch, as well as their up-front communication skills.“There’s a lot of shadiness in the NFL,” Bosa said. “People treat different echelons of players differently throughout (other teams’) building, and it seems pretty consistent with (Shanahan), whether you’re practice squad or one of the starters.”“People talk about it a lot about how real he is, about how authentic h...

White House: GOP has all the control over potential shutdown

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:39:11 GMT

By MJ Lee | CNNThe White House continues to argue that it is entirely up to House Republicans to avert a government shutdown: “The ball is completely in their court,” a White House official told CNN on Wednesday, just three days out from the end-of-month funding deadline. White House aides have been tightly monitoring movements on Capitol Hill and in close contact with congressional leaders in recent days, with government funding set to expire on October 1. The White House has called on House Republicans to support the Senate’s bipartisan stopgap bill to avert a shutdown.Asked whether a shutdown was unavoidable, President Joe Biden told reporters Wednesday afternoon: “I don’t think anything’s inevitable in politics.”But as CNN has reported, even after a deal was reached in the Senate, White House officials were reticent to make predictions. Meanwhile, officials are actively preparing for a shutdown and in the process of drawing up operational plans, including on which White House pe...

It’s been quite a few weeks for the friends — and possible new romantic partner — of Taylor Swift.The pop singer hasn’t just offered her public support to Sophie Turner amid the British actor’s nasty, transatlantic custody fight with her estranged husband Joe Jonas. Swift’s generosity to Turner has extended to allowing the “Game of Thrones” star to stay in her New York City home as one part of the legal battle unfolds in a New York City federal court, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday. Meanwhile, Swift gave a major lift to the already substantial public profile of Kansas City chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the New York Times reported. She helped to fuel the narrative that they could be romantically involved by cheering him on at his game Sunday and by being seen leaving Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium with him in a convertible.KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – SEPTEMBER 24: Taylor Swift reacts during the first half of a game between ...

Concord seniors, advocates battle for rent stabilization as prices rise

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:39:11 GMT

(BCN) -- When the Concord City Council discussed a rent stabilization ordinance for nearly five hours at a meeting earlier this month, the emotionally charged conversation attracted 67 public speakers, by one count. Rent is obviously a hot button issue in a community where, between 2011 and 2021, median gross rents increased 62 percent, according to the city. Higher rents affect nearly everyone who doesn't own homes. But tenant advocates say high rents likely impact seniors in Concord harder than other groups, as 58 percent of area seniors -- according to the Association of Bay Area Governments -- are very low-income.

The group says about 29 percent of unhoused people in Contra Costa County are over 55. When public comment closed from the Sep...

MILAN (AP) — AC Milan took the first formal step Wednesday to moving away from the iconic San Siro, which it shares with Inter Milan, and building a new stadium in the southern part of the city.The Rossoneri announced they had filed a proposal to the council in San Donato to build a 70,000-seater stadium in the city suburb.The move makes it even more likely that both Milan clubs — which play their home games at San Siro in the north-west of the city — will completely abandon their initial plans to build a new stadium on the same site. “For over four years, we have embarked with conviction on a journey aimed at giving our club one of the best stadiums of the world, which is able to accompany us into a victorious and sustainable future,” Milan president Paolo Scaroni said. “This represents a preliminary step in the evolution of this process but, at the same time, it is further proof of our ownership’s commitment to guaranteeing continuous growth for AC Milan both on and off the pitch....

His condition was listed as stable. They said the bodies of six young men were found nearby, but that investigators had not yet confirmed they were the youths abducted from a farm Sunday. The bodies will have to be removed from the roadless site and brought to the state capital for identification.

It was the latest tragic outcome to mass abductions of young people this year.In August, a gruesome video circulated on social media recorded the last moments of five young men kidnapped in the neighboring state of Jalisco.In the video, a pair of bound, inert bodies are seen lying ...
