BREAKING 🚨🚨
#Spokane / #Washington
Dramatic New Video from the Old Trails Fire in Spokane shows dozens of homes burnt to the ground, similar to what we saw in LA and Paradise. Eery feelings
Why is San Francisco improving but LA getting worse? Because SF made the shift I've been pushing for in LA: Recovery first and drug-free supportive housing. Things here won't change until LA leadership gets honest about the problem.
San Francisco is a recovery first city. We are a drug-free supportive housing city. We have rejected radical harm reduction in favor of getting people off drugs. We aren't done. Not by a longshot. I ❤️ SF.
Thanks to @ZavalaA for shining a spotlight on Jane Kim’s dangerous lack of experience on insurance issues. We cannot afford a Commissioner who sees this office merely as an opportunity to push socialist propaganda. The stakes are too high. The job is too serious.
Anyone who spends any time on this already knows the problem is primarily people from elsewhere and drug addicts. Government leaders blew through billions every year telling us our "unhoused neighbors" were economic refugees who lost their jobs during Covid.
I surveyed over 200 LA homeless for @CityJournal in May, finding the majority are not from our city—many of whom were doing drugs as I talked to them.
Homelessness is up in LA because the nation’s homeless are attracted here by our tolerance of crime and open-air drug use.
How about we support our local tax-paying businesses, like La Seranata in West LA? The City is literally forcing small, family-owned, legacy businesses out through neglect, taxes, and bad policy.

It shouldn't take a year of bureaucratic wrangling to kick out criminals trespassing on private property. ENOUGH with the constant fires, drugs, and vandalism. We need a City Attorney willing to fix the system, not one trying to protect it.
I walked a Hollywood block that tells a hard truth about government inaction. Neighbors on this street raised their voices and government didn’t listen and didn’t act. That failure isn’t abstract. It shows up in smoke and loss. We need early action and accountability.
When California decided to decriminalize prostitution and refused to prosecute felonies against criminals who solicit sex from minors, what did you think was going to happen?

It is with incredible sadness that we acknowledge the off-duty death of LAFD Captain II Christopher Yokoyama on July 6, 2026.
Captain Yokoyama was a 25-year veteran of the LAFD most recently assigned to Fire Station 95 in Westchester. He was a mentor, friend, and brother to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. More importantly, he was a loving husband and father of three children.
May God Bless the Yokoyama family and all who loved him. He will be missed and will not be forgotten.
When we pump millions of taxpayer dollars into supportive housing solutions, we're right to expect results and accountability, not gaslighting and excuses. That's why we're calling for more security, better screening, and consequences for operators contributing to the problems instead of fixing them.
NEW: Emotions boiled over at a packed Venice community meeting as residents demanded answers over two supportive housing programs they say have brought more crime, drug activity, overdoses and safety concerns to the neighborhood.
Councilmember @TraciParkforLA says future funding could be tied to whether operators improve security and conditions. Residents say it’s time for accountability.
Since many of you have asked how to volunteer during the Olympics, applications open July 14.

Anyone missing a domesticated release dove or homing pigeon? Found her on OFW yesterday, her feet were tangled in twine. She has a foot tag. Message me if you have any ideas on how to reunite her with her owner. 🙏
