I actually don’t care who’s LA Mayor. I just want to hire someone who is willing to bring on an adequate number of @LAPD for a city this size; properly equip the @LAFD; pick up the trash in the streets and on the freeways; get rid of all homeless encampments and put the mentally ill people who light fires, harass us at red lights, walk onto the freeways, etc into treatment; uphold existing laws and punish the increasing crime; fill potholes and file down the tire-popping ridges in the roads and freeways; shutdown and prosecute street take-overs that block traffic and scar the intersections; and stop “losing” billions of our tax dollars on various unfinished city projects.
It’s a very low bar.

@spencerpratt was the only person in this race who planned on doing something about any of it. I’d be fine if Bass as the @MayorOfLA had been interested in doing any of that the past 4 years. I’d be fine if @nithyavraman had gone in this direction during her years in City Council. But now it seems they want us to believe that most of the people in LA just love the city as the mess that it is, and in fact want the very people who made it this way to continue on and make it even worse.

Ok. I don’t believe you at all. But, I guess we’ll all get to watch you make a mess of the Olympics and any other event (natural or planned) that occurs here. It’s remarkable that competence is in such short supply.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

There was zero “Maga agenda,” whatever that means. The use of that term, @MayorOfLA, reveals your utter distrain, disrespect, and derision of the citizens of LA. @spencerpratt’s every comment and every plan was to solve the issues that have plagued LA for years, problems you refuse to attend to. Pratt is willing to sacrifice his privacy and time to actually solve these issues. You, on the other hand have for 4 years mocked or ignored our pleas to get the mentally ill off our streets, clear the encampments, fill the potholes and shave down the sharp road ridges, etc, etc. You are showing yourself to have no honor, no respect for LA, and no sense of responsibility. It’s shameful. Utterly shameful.

James Madison argued in Property that a government ceases to be just the moment it violates “the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty” through “arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest.”

The same principle was affirmed in Vanhorne’s Lessee v. Dorrance (1795), which declared that “no man would become a member of a community, in which he could not enjoy the fruits of his honest labor and industry.”

In other words, redistribution by force is not merely bad policy—it is the mark of a government that has broken its purpose and promise

NEW: President Trump wishes the U.S. Men's National Team good luck ahead of their group-stage opener against Paraguay.

"I know how great the players are. I think you've got a really good chance of going all the way, so I just want to wish you a lot of luck."

Coach Mauricio Pochettino’s squad enters the tournament with high expectations and will begin its journey against Paraguay, a team the Americans defeated 2-1 in a friendly last year.

I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.

I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts.

The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.

Honestly, considering how Afghanistan ended… maybe we survivors deserve the ugliest memorial on the mall… but the warriors eternally resting under a modest headstone deserve better than whatever this @GWOTMF grass-topped abstract art project is.

Last year, the SPLC added TPUSA to their so-called "hate map," placing us alongside neo-Nazi organizations and the Ku Klux Klan. The day before Charlie was murdered, they published a newsletter attacking him and Turning Point USA.

Today, they doubled down and stood by that designation.

They have to, because it's their real mission. As we now know thanks to the Trump DOJ, the SPLC itself funds violent extremist groups to stoke fear among the public, so they can stick organizations like Turning Point USA on their "hate map" and tar us by association.

Turning Point USA has, from the beginning, stood for open conversations and respectful debate regardless of creed or color.

All along, the real hate group is the SPLC, which recklessly sows hate every day with its lies.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is in Washington, D.C., this week meeting with lawmakers and business leaders as the U.S., Canada and Mexico work toward a renewed North American trade agreement ahead of a July 1 deadline.

Ford said he is pushing a “fortress North America” approach to trade and manufacturing, arguing closer cooperation among the three countries would help counter China’s economic influence.

“I’d love to see it July the 1st,” Ford said of a potential deal. “Is it possible? It's possible. Is it likely? Maybe.”
