This is a master class at storytelling - peeling the onion back one layer at a time. Well worth your time. But the most delightful surprises are cameos by the great @melmason and @ShaneGoldmacher. Never thought their coverage would end up in a NBA salary cap evasion discussion.
Exclusive: Kawhi Leonard signed a $28M endorsement deal for a "no-show job" with a fraudulent tree-planting company funded by $50M from Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, according to documents obtained by @PabloTorre. "It was to circumvent the salary cap," an inside source says.

Such an important insight shared here that many people new to the spotlight miss. The right words are important. But not at the expense of how you say it. Mastery is when you know what you want to say and say it well. Like everything else, practice makes progress.

.@SouthwestAir asked for a volunteer to give up their seat so a mother and child to sit together. Dr. Mark Ghaly, @Cal_HHS Secretary, quickly volunteered and took a nearby middle seat. Selfless act on a mostly full morning flight from @fly_BUR to @FlySMF.

Having photographers is standard for governors. We had several during @Schwarzenegger’s tenure - including a former @sacbee_news photographer. In time, we will be glad these pictures will be available in the state archives.
This photographer has documented presidents and CEOs. His latest client? Gavin Newsom
