What an incredible night!

2,000 people came out to hear the State of the City, and while I was sharing our vision for the future, we received some amazing news: In just 48 hours, we raised $569,000 for @calfund’s wildfire relief efforts.

This is the power of Long Beach—coming together to serve, build, and uplift our community. Thank you to everyone who showed up, gave generously, and proved once again why our city is so special.

Read the article. Mayor Bass was on a military flight back to LA an hour after the first fire alerts. Takes 20 hours to fly back. She was in LA by 11am PT the next day.

Mayor Bass left Ghana immediately & has been leading ever since. Can we please focus on what’s important now?

Every bit of support for the Palisades must be matched for the displaced Black families in Altadena.

Nobody can be left behind.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

Firefighters on the frontlines of keeping Angelenos safe are continuing their extraordinary efforts.

Here is the latest on their progress.

Palisades Fire: 11% contained
Eaton Fire: 15% contained
Hurst Fire: 76% contained
Kenneth Fire: 80% contained
Sunset Fire: knocked down
Sunswept Fire: knocked down

Thank you to the armies of public servants and citizens who are pitching in to fight these hurricane-force firestorms.

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires.

In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought.

Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit.

IN ONE MONTH ALONE.

I wonder how much she's gone over the limit in the past year?

Bish needs to sit TF down.

[Lindsey P. Horvath @LindseyPHorvath]

We have reports that listing agents are raising rents on the spot, preying on families who have been displaced.

This is unacceptable.

To report price gouging during this time of crisis, contact local law enforcement or the California DOJ at https://t.co/jl3K5uxLJ3

Angelenos deserve to know to what extent real estate billionaire Rick Caruso diverted public resources during a public emergency to protect his private business interests.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

While firefighters were running out of water…

Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night.

The question is: did he use public water for this?

[Los Angeles Police Protective League @LAPPL]

Hey, @RickCarusoLA should stop politicizing these tragic fires and stop attacking @MayorOfLA Karen Bass. The Mayor has been leading and has been in continuous communication with local, state, and federal officials to support our first responders to save lives and property.

Unhoused veterans should not be forced to choose between receiving their benefits and qualifying for affordable housing.

This week, @usmayors and I are bringing nearly 50 mayors from 18 different states to DC to meet with Members of Congress and the Biden administration about ways to take action on this important issue.

A historic number of Black women candidates are running for competitive seats in California. These women are stepping up to be leaders in these diverse districts that represent many working families.

VP Kamala Harris swears in Laphonza Butler (D) as California’s new senator. The seat became open after the death of Dianne Feinstein last week.

Butler’s seating makes her the only Black woman in the Senate and brings the number of Black senators to four, an all-time high.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

In the U.S. just 7% of physicians and surgeons are Latino/a and just 9% of health care practitioners & technicians are Latino/a.

I met with Dr. Flores during my visit to White Memorial Hospital to discuss these low stats and how we can better represent the communities we serve.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

Services to address substance abuse and mental health issues are vital in our effort to bring Angelenos inside.

We must implement innovative solutions to save lives.

I’m seeing a growing number of students complain: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into the course.”

Public service announcement: You don’t get an A for effort. You earn it for excellence.

Success is measured by the level of mastery you show, not how hard you work.

[Elex Michaelson @Elex_Michaelson]

New numbers in the L.A. Mayor’s race & Karen Bass extends her lead.

On Sat, she was up around 9,000. Now, it’s closer to 29,000.

@KarenBassLA 52.15%
@RickCarusoLA 47.85%

There are likely still hundreds of thousands of votes left to count but this race is trending Bass’ way.
