Tunnel leads to four held, over ton of cocaine seized The 1,933-foot-long passageway, which federal officials said was “among the most sophisticated” ever found along the San Diego border, was equipped with reinforced walls, a rail system, electricity and a ventilation system. It ran 55 feet underground, and the tunnel itself was 4.5 feet tall. enewspaper.sandiegouniontrib… by @alemend via @SDUT

Nothing to see here, move along! Worst of all, Mr. Trump issued pardons on the first day of his second term to everyone who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He did not distinguish between rioters who were relatively peaceful and those who attacked police officers, as Vice President JD Vance said should be the case. All 1,500 or so Jan. 6 rioters received a clean slate. The results have been disastrous. At least 12 of the pardoned rioters have since been charged with other serious crimes, including child molestation, assault, harassment, murder plots and charges related to a vicious dog attack. The outcome was predictable. Critics, including this board, had warned that Mr. Trump’s pardons would embolden the rioters by signaling that crime has no consequences. One does not have to be a criminologist to predict that people who commit a violent act and are absolved of any punishment might become repeat offenders. nytimes.com/2026/03/31/opini… via @nytopinion

Time to heed voters to cut cost of @CityofSanDiego Services 🤑 Although city leaders seem determined to increase taxes and fees and cut services to residents, there is one tool that has been left off the table: outsourcing. enewspaper.sandiegouniontrib… by @JanIGoldsmith via @SDUT

'A feast and a famine' – why are profits falling for major bike brands? In the last couple of weeks, two of the industry’s biggest companies have shared worrying annual results; Giant’s post-tax profits slumped 42% year-on-year in 2025, while Canyon’s EBITDA (a benchmark of profitability that stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) fell 34% in the same period. cyclingweekly.com/news/a-fea… by @t_davidson via @CyclingWeekly

Well, the @SANDAG University Bikeway project is a good thing, but not a real cyclist in sight and a rendering of cyclists with no helmets! #SMH sandag.org/news/news-release…

I was trying to figure out why my latest @Strava activity was slightly slower than a previous one. It says my latest effort was a 400' more climbing, which would account for the difference in speed, but it was the same route as before! I suspect the data is now more accurate?

Boy Scouts sue LGBTQ travel group ‘Queer Scout’ over its name The company, which uses an image of a pink fox for its logo, was accused of “diluting @BoyScouts’ famous trademarks and falsely associating with Boy Scouts,” according to the court filing. The development came during a tumultuous month for relations between the Trump administration and Scouting America, which receives support from the military. the-independent.com/news/wor… via @Independent

Op-ed: The truth behind @SANDAG’s toll road scandal This story about the state Route 125 toll road is one of incompetence, dishonesty, persistence, retaliation, whistleblowing, perseverance and ultimately, vindication thecoastnews.com/op-ed-the-t… by @JeromeStocks via @coastnewsgroup

Unfortunately for me, I renewed my @CA_DMV registration late. I would have done it on time had they let @AAASoCal accept debit cards (like cash) when I was there in January. 🚗 Worse yet, the penalty was 35% which is usurious! (exorbitant, outrageous, steep, unconscionable). 🤑

Elon Musk Moves Against the Russians in Ukraine Russian forces falter as the world’s richest man intervenes in the war once again. Since the start of the Russian invasion four years ago, Musk has played an outsize role in determining the course of the war. His high-speed internet service, Starlink, uses portable satellite dishes to create a Wi-Fi connection anywhere in the world, and it has allowed both the Russian and Ukrainian militaries to stay online in the war zone, coordinate troop movements, and navigate drones. No other system can match the reach and reliability of Starlink, which runs on the world’s largest constellation of satellites. Musk has occasionally used that system in ways that have helped one side of the war or the other. theatlantic.com/national-sec… by @shustry via @TheAtlantic
