In a meeting of the entire caucus, some House Democrats publicly questioned their party’s achievements for the session and wondered aloud if it was worth working with Republicans.The chaos that unfolded in the legislature followed a grueling session of lengthy debates, previously rare weekend work, and a growing sense of acrimony among lawmakers in both chambers. Progressive lawmakers grew frustrated as their priority housing, gun violence, and substance use bills died in a Capitol that’s fully controlled by Democrats. Their mo...

SANTA CLARA — Only 20 months ago, Cameron Latu had yet to score a touchdown in his Alabama career.

He’s an aggressive player.”At least two 49ers won’t be strangers to Cameron Latu when he shows up for rookie minicamp this wee...
