Reminder that while Donald Trump publicly campaigned for the presidency on a platform of raising tariffs on Mexico in order to force companies to move to the United States, his company was quietly doing business in Mexico. https://t.co/R3MCtjoamN
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki has identified the key story on which to focus, as fires still rage in LA.
It’s not Karen Bass. It’s not Gavin Newsom. It’s not years of CA incompetence, mismanagement, or the consequences of leftist ideology over meritocracy.
It’s Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
We’re launching a new, simple intake system to report price gouging — call @MyLA311 to report illegally hiked rents and prices.
We have no tolerance for it.
Price gouging during a state of emergency is illegal. Penalties include fines up to $10k or jail time.

Goodbye, red tape. Through an executive order, we are making it easier for victims of the SoCal fires to quickly rebuild their homes and lives.
We’re also extending key price gouging protections to help make rebuilding more affordable.
I’ve traveled over a million miles in this role and everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve heard from people with a strong desire to work together with the United States. Because of the work we’ve done to bring countries together, we’ve advanced progress for people in America and around the world.
.@SpeakerJohnson Mike, you’ve outdone yourself with this masterpiece of revisionist history. Claiming Biden "emboldened" our adversaries? Let's walk that back. NATO's stronger than ever, thanks to Biden adding Finland and Sweden while Trump flirted with ditching it altogether. Ukraine’s holding the line against Russia because the U.S. led the charge in rallying support, something Trump would’ve traded away in a phone call.
A "dumpster fire"? The economy’s rebounded, unemployment’s down, and the infrastructure bill is putting shovels in the ground. Compare that to Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and chaos-driven trade wars that left farmers begging for bailouts.
As for danger? The world faced real threats under Trump, palling around with dictators, alienating allies, and bungling the pandemic response. Biden’s been cleaning up that mess since Day One. So, no, the claim’s not just a lie, it’s an insult to anyone paying attention.

BREAKING: Jake Tapper just ripped Republican Senator Katie Britt to shreds for believing Kash Patel will restore the integrity of the Department of Justice. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.
Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

Here are some helpful tips from an attorney who is very experienced in dealing with insurance companies. It can be a very tricky and intimidating process. Please pass along to anyone you know whose homes were lost or damaged in the LA fires.
The number of CalFIRE personnel has nearly doubled since 2019 (from 5,829 to 10,741).
CalFIRE’s budget has nearly doubled since 2019 ($2 Billion to $3.8 Billion).
The budget for managing the forest (AKA “raking the forest”) is now TEN TIMES larger than it was when the
@BackItUpOrSTFU Just to be clear, I don’t ‘like’ these posts because such ugly things happen with ferocious regularity, I ‘like’ them because yet another pedophile is removed from society. One by one by one. My most fervent hope is that he gets the ‘full’ experience he deserves in prison. 🤨
Elon Musk is promoting looting by spreading the lie that it’s been decriminalized. This is the same kind of thing he did during the immigrant riots in the UK last summer. And it’s why they’ve said that they’re examining his social media postings for incitement.
Landlords are raising rental listing prices by more than 50% to profit from the fires. Penal Code 396 prohibits price-gouging during a state of emergency.
@bad_tenant has started a doc of the listings:
