BURNED TWICE! (NEW YORK POST)

California awarded nearly $369 million in federal recovery funds from the devastating 2018 wildfires to affordable-housing developers without requiring them to house wildfire survivors.

The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries left the court before the national anthem at both Games 1 and 2 of the WNBA Finals in San Francisco, returning seconds after the performances ended.
