In our live interview on KRON 4 News today -- Oakland Mayor Thao answered some of our questions about the FBI raid on her home, the recall, the budget, and more. She continued to stand by her innocence, saying she had done "nothing wrong" and was "looking forward to the opportunity to vindicate" herself. I asked her about her relationship with the Duong family, whose homes were also searched by the FBI. She said as mayor she meets with many business owners, and then directed us to the U.S. Attor

Times are changing. But if there’s any advice I can offer to those who’ve reached out in recent weeks, it’s this: work hard, stay curious, and remain adaptable as the industry evolves. No one is entitled to success — but effort, integrity, and consistency still matter deeply. Journalism is demanding — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It asks for sacrifice: long days, missed birthdays, and the responsibility of showing up for people in moments of both joy and pain. And the landscape continu

While it is an honor to be recognized for the significant effort involved in assembling this piece, I hope this coverage continues to drive critical change and discussion to prevent the loss of more lives.

Some analysts say it presents like positioning for a bigger national stage. If she runs, AOC would enter with major advantages: deep appeal among younger voters

Scott Weaver was such a joy to interview. He builds massive, intricate sculptures entirely out of toothpicks and is invited to speak about them all around the world. Weaver’s artwork not only highlights the history and beauty of San Francisco, but also incorporates elements from his own story as a 3rd generation San Franciscan. His art is worth checking out in person. I truly believe you'll be blown away. Check out Weaver's work on display at the Exploratorium. | Stephanie Lin

This morning, federal regulators shut down Silicon Valley Bank - a mayor player in the tech and venture capital community. This is the second largest failure of a financial institution in US History. I spoke live with state Sen. Scott Weiner, who represents many affected by this crisis about the potential fallout. He says the issue must be addressed quickly to avoid a "mass die-off of startups." | Stephanie Lin

"No good chief in the nation is going to want to...work for a commission that cannot get their act together." The city of Oakland continues to be plagued by violence. Certain crime stats spiked during the pandemic, and auto thefts surged in 2023. In our conversation today with Mayor Sheng Thao, I asked about the latest public safety measures and dug into the search for a new police chief. Mayor Thao had harsh words to share on the state of the Oakland Police Commission. Both sides have accused t

Former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, who was recalled by voters on Election Day, now faces federal corruption charges, according to the FBI. Thao has stood by her innocence in my interviews with her over the past year. She pleaded not guilty on Friday. Her attorney issued remarks in response to the indictment, which alleges Thao, her longtime partner, and two local businessmen conspired to drive city business to companies owned by the Duong family in exchange for benefits to Thao. #oakland #shengtha

Today during our one-on-one with Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, I asked her if she saw the recall effort against her as an act of revenge by political opponents. "Yes...this is a recall that's being led by people who lost the election against me or who I relieved of their position because they weren't doing their jobs." I asked her if she felt there was some validity however, to critics' concerns about crime trends in the city. An excerpt from our discussion is below. | Stephanie Lin

Prop 50 in California has shifted the authority to draw congressional district lines — a process that affects which communities gain representation and which may lose influence. The change revokes the power of the state’s independent commission and gives lawmakers a more direct hand in shaping the map. What’s next? The move is expected to prompt legal challenges — already the California Republican Party is arguing the change dilutes minority voting power under the 14th and 15th Amendments. If co

As dozens of layoff notices go out this month to help close Oakland's $130M budget deficit, city leaders are hoping voters approve a sales tax measure in April which would increase rates from 10.25% to 10.75%. If approved, this would match rates in Alameda, Albany, San Leandro, Hayward and Union City, according to interim Mayor Kevin Jenkins. Jenkins said in a good year, this could bring $30M in revenue. He tells me he believes residents will pay more to ensure the city receives critical service

Barbara Lee how she'd work to rebuild trust among voters following the recent recall of key elected officials, including former mayor Sheng Thao. We also discussed the subject of age limits for elected officials. Lee, who is 78 years old and served 13-terms in Congress, said she was not in favor. | Stephanie Lin
