Has anyone ever sued the UC system &/or the regents for violating the state constitution which says that all UC's should be tuition free for all residents?

There should be serious consequences for whoever ran the update or should have had a backup plan ready. It is NOT OK to have zero regional rail transit for 6 million people on zero notice in the wealthiest state of the wealthiest nation in history, because of a computer upgrade malfunction.

While protecting our medical system from misguided conspiracy theories, it would be great if Bernie could also get RFK Jr. to follow through on his promises to go after big ag and end our processed food addiction. Far less divisive/controversial, more popular support, still entrenched $ opposition

While you're saving our vaccines from misguided conspiracy theories, please get RFK Jr. to follow through on his promises to take on Big Ag and solve our processed food addiction: a TRUE crisis.

Thank you Bernie as always for being the loudest voice of sanity and righteousness in America!!

The real question is: what would it take to get RFK Jr. to leave vaccines alone and follow through on his promises to go after big ag and make a dent in our processed food addiction. That would be far less divisive/controversial, with widespread popular support but still entrenched $ opposition

You should stories detailing how the GOP is run by sadistic heartless bigots hell-bent on destroying America, and only true progressives can save us; to show what biased reporting WOULD look like, in contrast to your solid, balanced, fair, legit journalism which they falsely smear as biased.

Glad to hear ridership is up! And I was sad to see how dirty the train I boarded at SFO last night was. Don't you have staff cleaning trains at each end of a route? The Antioch train that left SFO ~12:27am last night was filthy, with trash on seats and the floor in multiple cars.

It's not deportation, it's rendition. Please report this more accurately.

Today's headlines offer a perfect example of why developing any federal lands now is a terrible idea: "Trump officials say destroying endangered species' habitat isn't harm". Any "good things" to be done with federal land will have to wait until people of good faith are in charge of them.

And we know from the first 100 days of this admin that enormous damage can be justified under false pretenses of best case scenarios they never intend to meet. I have ZERO confidence in any public lands transfer or development over the next 3.5 years being anything but an oligarchic land grab.

Got it, thanks for clarifying.

Re: the original post: if the US wants Europe to buy our eggs, the discussion should be: how to help US egg exporters keep their eggs clean enough for Euro standards, acknowledging that America's lower standards put limitations and burdens on retailers and consumers
