SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green did not like Chris Paul, Green has openly admitted.At Warriors media day on Monday, Green spent nearly six minutes explaining why the mutual hate they developed as rivals can only help them as teammates.“If you’ve ever watched Chris compete, he’s kind of an asshole,” Green said. “He may say the same thing about me, and that’s OK.”There’s a reason the visual of Paul suited up in Golden State colors has become a pinch-me moment in Warriors land. He has always been the marquee Warriors villain, popping up as the bad guy in every title run spanning from his Los Angeles Clippers days of the early 2010s to the Houston Rockets rivalry to his recent seasons with Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.Paul’s sarcastic laugh at coach Steve Kerr caught on camera in 2018 has become a viral meme while Curry and Green’s behind-the-scenes mockery of Paul kicking them off a practice court in Houston is well-...Kaiser workers set for massive strike with picketers around the Bay Area: What to know

Kaiser Permanente is warning patients of potential disruptions to medical care ahead of a massive three-day strike planned to start Wednesday morning if a new contract deal can’t be reached with its workforce.A coalition of unions is planning picket lines for 6 a.m. outside more than a dozen Bay Area medical centers, including Kaiser’s major facilities in San Jose and Oakland, in a bid to obtain higher wages and more job protections. Some 23,000 Bay Area Kaiser workers are ready to stop work.The labor action by 75,000 Kaiser workers across the country comes amid a surge in strikes in the U.S. A months-long strike by Hollywood writers ended late last month after a deal between their union and movie and TV producers. Film and TV actors remain on strike against Hollywood studios. In mid-September, thousands of unionized auto workers went on strike over wages at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler-owned Stellantis.

Let the good times roll.That’s life on the San Francisco 49ers with the season nearly a quarter over. Winning means fun, and the 49ers are loving life with their first 4-0 record since 2019 and the fifth time in franchise history after a 35-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday what is taking place is a carryover from last season, when the 49ers won their last 10 regular season games and two playoff games before coming to a crashing halt against Philadelphia in the NFC Championship Game.But the big difference is there has been no waiting around to get into gear. The 49ers hit the ground running, as well as passing and on defense.“I think through our experiences we came in a little bit more ready to go to tell you the truth,” Shanahan said in his weekly conference call with local writers. “They know how last year ended and have been very excited to get this year started and you could kind of feel it ri...Vegetation fire threatens homes in East Oakland

Gaetz files resolution to oust McCarthy as House speaker

By Farnoush Amiri and Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a resolution late Monday to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, setting up a likely showdown vote in the House in the days ahead.The far-right Republican from Florida has for months threatened to use a procedural tool — called a motion to vacate — to try to strip McCarthy of his office. Those threats escalated over the weekend after McCarthy relied on Democrats to provide the necessary votes to fund the government.A motion to vacate is a rare and strong procedural tool that has only been used twice in the past century against Republican speakers. But in recent years, conservatives have wielded the motion as a weapon against their leaders.In January, McCarthy, hoping to appease some on the hard right like Gaetz as he fought to gain their vote for speaker, agreed to give as few as five Republican members the ability to initiate a vote to remove him. But when that wasn’t good enough fo...Letters: Bad move | Kindness on BART | Honor agreement | Past wrongs | Fashion news | Sharp contrast

Furthermore, reimbursing the city could be viewed as tantamount to an admission of guilt.Alan WaldSan FranciscoKindness foundon a BART trainOn Sept. 28 my wife and I were returning from vacation.
