There is breaking news with the death of Rob Reiner and his wife and the son is the prime suspect, and KNX just rolls over to news from San Francisco because Audacy thinks one newsroom for all of California overnight is enough.

“Drunk and drugged driving is now so common in car-centric California that drivers routinely rack up four, five, six DUIs. One woman in Fresno just got her 16th.”
California has some of the weakest DUI laws in the nation. Here, DUI-related deaths have been rising more than twice as fast as the rest of the country.

But this fall, a state bill to strengthen DUI penalties was gutted at the last minute. calmatters.org/investigatio...

15 DUIs, still driving: California's failure to take repeat drunk drivers off the road

Making this threat was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If he follows through now, he risks a revolt inside his own party over the fact that he's attacking a red state. If he doesn't follow through, he's announcing to the world that he's a paper tiger.
unreal (but very real, of course)

Nobody listens to the radio anymore, as KNX and KCBS have merged operations overnight. It is jarring to hear one long traffic report at 4:00 am covering both the Bay Bridge and the 405 (and properly using articles for each area) and most of the news is out of San Francisco where it is operated.

This article was just lying to you. California builds 25,000 ADUs per year because of state preemption. There are tens of thousands of homes built with state ministerial streamlining. There are now *hundreds of thousands* of homes that would not otherwise exist because of state preemption.
Statewide zoning reform isn’t producing the wins everyone expected. For example, state law can declare that small backyard cottages are legal. But unless cities can review them, permit them, and builders can finance them, legalization will remain largely symbolic.

The Clippers used to be a laughing stock of a franchise. Some really good players played for them, usually only briefly. The franchise didn’t become respectable until Blake Griffin and Chris Paul arrived.

And both of their Clipper tenures ended by being shoved out the nearest airlock.

Pomona, which has a policy of requiring work on a building older than 50 years to go through a "determination of historic significance", is set to declare a dingbat historically significant, which adds hoops to demolition or addition. @dingbattitude.bsky.social pomona.legistar.com/LegislationD...

Bill Kristol has gone so far left he's joined us in chastising Hakeem Jeffries for being a morally bankrupt turd. He's gonna be Che in like a week at this rate
I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.

But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

A year and change ago, Mark Kelly couldn't get any traction when his name came up in VP talks. But now thanks to the Trump villain machine, Kelly joins the pantheon of top ranked Democrats that have national profiles that will destroy all the pathetic losers the GOP will be counting on for a decade.
Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported.

I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.
