@chriswithans To be fair, her leadership helped usher in a dramatic increase in the number of Angelenos suddenly in the market for short-term housing.

Los Angeles firefighters have repeatedly warned that rising call volumes and chronic understaffing are slowing their response times, and new data shows one major driver -- encampment fires.

Every time the L.A. Fire Department responds to a blaze, crews must file a report and mark whether it was "Homeless or Encampment Related." A records request for every such fire since 2020 returned a staggering total -- more than 75,000 incidents. https://t.co/njyNonrjCq

California is suing @HUDgov to stop the redirect of funding toward drug free recovery housing and work requirements for the chronically homeless? Of course they are. God forbid they stop using drugs inside supportive housing where hundreds die annually from overdose. 🤷‍♂️

Judging from the stairway banister and the kitchen island lights, Eric Swalwell appears to have filmed his campaign launch video for California governor at his primary residence in Washington, DC.

@rpyers Vast majority of American Independent Party registrants likely thought that box meant signing up as an "Independent" voter.

On this day in 1796, George Washington bids the nation farewell. He was retiring from the presidency and making his last exit from public life.

I was skeptical of a Democrat winning Texas but then I read in a press release that Talarico’s launch video was filmed in vertical and now I’m a believer.

Some highlights from the decision:

"When it comes to political expression, the antidote is not prematurely stifling content creation and singling out specific speakers but encouraging counter speech, rigorous fact-checking, and the uninhibited flow of democratic discourse."

"The satirical videos and posts that Plaintiffs proliferate to critique public officials squarely constitute speech on public issues, which occupies the 'highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values,' and is granted special protection."

@ladailynews No gawking at our massive failure of civic leadership, please.
