@mikehtrujillo Is there one pro housing policy mayor Karen advanced beyond what was required by state h. element? 2012–2020 had historically low interest rates and LA pols sat back and did nothing. Not one of those years did LA build more units than kids graduating lausd (~20k kids
@mikehtrujillo Mayor Karen was in Ghana when the biggest disaster in LA the last half century happened- how many missed votes does that count for? Lmao- you want us to believe homelessness is down under Bass?!? I guess city residents on have gone blind. Go to sleep boomer Karen
Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust. And whether it’s Natalie Harp printing out Donald Trump’s daily dose of delusion and flattery, or Peter Navarro steering taxpayer-funded loans to Trump family investments, or Pete Hegseth deluding the president daily into deepening this quagmire in the Middle East, no one cares about their feelings.
The sailors on the Lincoln are fighting his war, a war based on lies, while he plays with his new ballroom, flies around on a jet given to him by a foreign prince, and retreats into this circle of sycophantic aides who tell him every day what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.
This entire White House is responsible for lying the country into war, and for the rest of their careers, they will be known for having participated in this obscenity.
@mikehtrujillo Fortunately for LA residents they just need to open their eyes and walk outside to see incumbent Mayor/ council candidates are incompetent (laughing stock Padilla), corrupt (cd9), and lack transparency(mayors inside safe). Bass has been in politics for years and things get worse!
@mikehtrujillo What part of Imelda Padilla’s interview on pod save gave you confidence she’s competent, or a leader what’s so ever? LA city council has been a corrupt failure for years (do you really need the itemized receipts for that?)
@yemisi Really? Who has a longer track record of failure? Bass’ congressional district got objectively worse during her years. She’s a flat out liar who wants us to believe homeless is down. Bass is an establishment do nothing Dem.
@mikehtrujillo Bass is a anti housing NIMBY- she came out against SB 79, takes credit for state mandated housing element programs like adaptive reuse, refused transparency on Inside Safe. Watered down ED1- zero accountability
The 2005 Yankees payroll was 70% higher than the second-highest team in MLB that season.
The 2026 Dodgers payroll (including luxury taxes, according to Spotrac) is 15% higher than the No. 2 team.
@SaraEisen What local markets? Kroger and PE monopolized grocery stores over the last 30 years just like everything else. If you really think today’s monopolized ‘grocery store’ is an upgrade from this alternative, you’re out of touch
Big contrast between Nithya Raman and Karen Bass on a top issue in the LA mayor's race:
"Street homelessness — people living outdoors or in their vehicles — went down by 49% in Raman’s district compared to the previous year"
"Citywide, street homelessness increased nearly 8%"
"They've defied both Joe Biden and Donald Trump."
Rep. Ro Khanna says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acted as though he can "dictate the terms" to the United States, arguing that's why Israel's leader is losing support among Democrats and younger Republicans.
On The Sunday Briefing, the California Democrat also questioned why the U.S. continues subsidizing Israel's defense, saying the money should instead go toward priorities like jobs, housing, childcare, and healthcare at home.
