I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

I managed to go through the day without seeing this until now. I didn't we still had new information coming out from the Epstein files. Trump is a rapist and the entire Republican party is committed to covering for him.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

"The Bay Area does 1.3% of America's driving but pays 5.2% of the income taxes now bailing out America's highways"
America's Highway Trust Fund spends far more than it brings in in gas and truck taxes, and the US constantly bails the fund out from the federal general fund and by taking out loans. The Bay Area will pay ~$1.3B/year to bail out the fund yet again, starting in 2028. From @maxmautner.com.

I know someone who lived out of his car in grad school at a public university in California — not because it was impossible to afford housing but because its just a smart financial decision in a world where the school has plentiful parking spots given away at nominal cost but scarce housing.
The article is rightly more nuanced than this post. The main driver of that headline figure is housing. Yes tuition is a challenge, but it’s not what has pushed cost of attendance over $50k.
