When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Thank you SO MUCH to @nerd4cities.bsky.social for coming to San Diego and for giving Freeway Exit a shoutout in this video! youtu.be/rlpMRyVkqpY?...

BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has DENIED the University of California's request that it block the release of a 28-page, $1.2-billion fine Trump administration UCLA settlement offer. UC is required to give a faculty group the document today. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I believe this might be the first serious traffic injury on Pershing Drive since the completion of the Pershing Bikeway. Not entirely clear, but it appears the victim was riding in the southbound painted bike lane, not the separated two-way bike path.

I spoke to @acbowen.bsky.social of KPBS radio in San Diego yesterday about the significance of #SB79, its major provisions, and its likely impact going forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeCu...

SB 79 does not apply to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Please stop wasting my time with such foolish inquiries.

San Diego is preparing 2 community plan updates impacted by SB79: Clairemont and College. These are my rough sketches of the half-mile radii around trolley stops. Yellow is where the city wanted to keep single-family zoning. Past coverage: www.kpbs.org/news/local/2... www.kpbs.org/news/quality...

Still thinking about Tyler Cowen watching young actresses in movies and thinking to himself, "yes, but how do I know if she's *really* a virgin? HOW CAN I KNOW?" And then telling everyone about it!

I went out to the East San Diego County road where the Trump administration revoked a $1.165 million safety grant because they thought the project was "hostile to motor vehicles." After walking around there, it was clear the current design is hostile to *pedestrians.* www.kpbs.org/news/quality...

I feel pretty comfortable opining on this. In Matthew 25, Jesus tells his disciples that mistreating any person is the same as mistreating God. "... I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me."

When it comes to road deaths, we often put the onus on people doing the dying rather than people doing the killing.

He lied. Gotta use the word

A government shutdown is days away. And @rbeggin.bsky.social and I obsessing over it. What do you want do want to know? Will do my best to respond throughout the day.

This rules so hard. It's been a longstanding conviction of mine that the best way to convince people to replace car trips with ebike trips is by letting them try out an ebike for free. Love the Oakland Public Library. oaklandside.org/2025/09/25/o...

NPR has earned the ratio here. Would love to see @kellymcb.bsky.social and @poynterinstitute.bsky.social take stock of the replies/quotes and write something about how journalists can get smarter about reporting on street safety.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

I was feeling brave, so I stopped by the window of the first car on my bike. Told the driver this was not a parking space and next time please park in the *free* garage. She gave me a sarcastic “thank you so much” and I went on my way, feeling sad but glad I spoke up.

Driver struck and killed a 31-year-old woman trying to cross La Jolla Village Dr at Genesee Ave in University City. I highlighted this exact intersection in a video earlier this year. Missing crosswalks force pedestrians into a 10-minute detour (so many jaywalk). www.instagram.com/reel/DH9Qc3h...

San Diego: Watch this space. www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

SB 79 has the votes!

MTS has about three years’ worth of reserves, after which it will either need new revenue or have to cut services by more than 20%. On Thursday, MTS board members couldn’t agree on a strategy — specifically, what role fare increases should play in balancing the budget. www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

A bill proposed Monday night, just days before the end of the legislative session, would punch a very small hole in a landmark housing law passed earlier this year that appears to apply to one (1) proposed apartment building in the incoming Senate leader's district. calmatters.org/politics/202...

San Diego still preventing apartments from being built near its underperforming rail transit lines, as I discussed with @acbowen.bsky.social here: www.kpbs.org/news/quality...

San Diego’s Blue Line trolley has ridership numbers that most light rail systems can only dream of. But the Clairemont Drive Station attracts the fewest passengers by far. Why? Because freeway, and because zoning. My latest: www.kpbs.org/news/quality...

My story on San Diego's plan for single-family zoning near its $2 billion trolley extension has been the top story on our website for close to 24 hours now! Thanks to all who have read and shared 💞🏗️🚋 www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

San Diego isn't close to meeting its housing or climate goals. But that isn't stopping it from locking in single-family zoning in a wealthy neighborhood right next to a $2 billion light rail line. My latest: www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...

They’re burning fossil fuels to create the AI-generated images and words to convince us that fossil fuels and AI are good for us.

Wow, the KPBS audience really cares about public transit and building housing near it! If this is you, we'd love your support 💞🚋🏗️ kpbs.org/donate

If you're just looking at ridership data, San Diego's public transit is doing remarkably well. But the agency — like its peers across the country — is facing a looming deficit. Absent new revenue, MTS will have to cut services by 25% in just a few years. My latest:

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

San Diego recently approved a 380-unit development across the street from the Blue Line trolley after more than six years of review by the city and Coastal Commission. If/when it gets built, 26% of the homes would be affordable. www.kpbs.org/news/living/...

UPDATE: A spokesperson for the NPS told me that the agency and the DOJ are pursuing administrative action against several Yosemite employees and possible criminal charges against several park visitors over displays on El Capitan since 2024.

I love Terry Gross she is a top ten person

I had a great time chatting about freeways with the hosts of the California Highways: Route by Route podcast. Listen for some Easter eggs about the future of Freeway Exit 😁

Not the Society of Professional Journalists using AI-generated images in their fundraising emails 😣

New Freeway Exit bonus episode just dropped. Me in conversation with @colinparent.bsky.social about his new report “Powerless Brokers: Why California can’t build transit.” Have a listen! www.kpbs.org/podcasts/fre...

San Diego Harbor Police are asking for help finding the driver who they believe struck and killed a woman on North Harbor Drive last Friday night. The driver fled the scene. Police believe the vehicle may have front-end damage. #VisionZero

love this new york times clip. they recently did a story about how sesame street's set has changed over the years, along with our urban politics. IG nytimes

Congratulations and thank you to the many people, programs and institutions that have brought the Police Records Access Project into being. This represents the best of journalism, hard work, collaboration and service to the communities in which we live. journalism.berkeley.edu/police-recor...

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity. tinyurl.com/yrwvmxws

San Diego: If you're a fan of standup comedy AND public media, there's a show tonight at the Laugh Factory downtown with 100% of the proceeds going to KPBS! www.laughfactory.com/san-diego/da...

This was my favorite part of @acbowen.bsky.social ‘s coverage of the ADU density bonus votes. Council staff were comparing these developments to “slave quarters” and he just interviewed someone that lived in one of these ADUs and they were like ‘I like it, it’s nice’ www.kpbs.org/news/politic...

Actually interviewing someone who is living in the new housing 👏👏👏 @acbowen.bsky.social Should be the standard for how housing is discussed.

In San Diego, traffic on the 805 is a nightmare, and it’s largely because of a mismatch between where the jobs are and where people live. A new city plan aims to fix that, by bringing tens of thousands of new homes to the county’s largest job center My latest story for @kpbssandiego.bsky.social

SD City Council voted 6-2 to establish a parking meter zone in/around Balboa Park. City aims to install meters on 6th Ave and Park Blvd by the fall. Revenue to be spent on parking/mobility needs, including free tram service and fixing broken lighting. Vote on paid lots is still a few months away.

San Diego is growing up — literally. Housing permit data obtained by KPBS and Voice of San Diego show in remarkable detail just how much our urban core is densifying. Check out my story, and our amazing interactive map: www.kpbs.org/news/quality...
