Newsom's second term officially began Friday in Sacramento with an anti-Republican speech; The Warriors asked SF to cut the Chase Center's taxes; and a woman pumping gas was reportedly pistol-whipped and had her truck stolen, police said.

Animal Place’s Vegan Republic, which opened as Republic of V in February 2014 as the first grocery store in the Bay Area to offer completely vegan products, closed in July. The owners cited a substantial drop in sales due to COVID-19, but they’d been seeing declining business for more than a year which they attributed, ironically, to the “huge popularity” of veganism. In an Instagram post, Vegan Republic wrote, “Chain stores are pulling away customers with their newfound openness in carrying vegan products, and it’s a blessing and a curse.”
