Scoop: DWP’s then-CEO didn’t know that reservoir in Palisades was empty until the day of the Palisades fire.

That + other details on how the reservoir hangs over the LA mayoral election, with Spencer Pratt hounding Mayor Bass about the empty reservoir

He’s 84. He’s facing misconduct charges. And he wants your vote.

Is Judge Robert S. Draper — who hasn’t presided over an L.A. courtroom since being placed on leave in 2023 — too old, or ill, to be reelected for another 6 year term?

The great @LaurenBans digs into one of L.A.’s thorniest (and most controversial) questions… how many cars should go left after the light turns yellow ? https://t.co/8xh7HTNdIu

Fascinating, original reporting from @sherlyholmes on the L.A. Mayor's race. This is worth the read. Aligns with everything I heard behind the scenes thagt week.

This is Julia Wick's first piece for her new L.A. journalism venture. Congrats on the launch!

[Lucas Shaw @Lucas_Shaw]

My friend @sherlyholmes has started a new publication devoted to Los Angeles, our home.

She's started with a bang: an in-depth look at the mayor's race.

I would also recommend checking out the daily newsletter (because LA sorely needs one).

SOME PERSONAL NEWS: For the last year I’ve been working with a terrifyingly talented team to put together L.A. Material, a new local news outlet covering Los Angeles. We’re launching TODAY, so please check us out at https://t.co/m0CKoHtcRa.

The 1992 Uprising shifted the culture of the LAPD, brought diversity, & changed policies.

Before: “Officers were trained in old school, big-bad-cop ways — choke holds, hogtying, arbitrary pat-downs, a wartime mentality” @LAcrimes wrote.

After: more community policing

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If you believe in a more just, more generous, more democratic America, now is the time to fight for it. Here’s a terrific way to register voters, organize communities, and ramp up turnout in the battleground states that will decide this election: https://t.co/FmN8RCJymg

[L.A. TACO🌴🌮 @LATACO]

Congrats to all the voices that we get to publish regularly on winning a James Beard award! 🥇 When it’s safe to party we’re going to party like a MF. But for now, please keep the voices coming. LA needs to read, hear, see them. And let’s eat tacos! 🌮

[Sarah Wick @wickish]

In the midst of so much bad news, some great news!

Proud to announce R01 funding for the multicenter RAFT trial, NCT03101891. Grateful to the @NICHD_NIH for sponsoring our mission to study fetal therapy for renal anhydramnios. Thanks to all the mentors and patients that got us here. Onward! @HopkinsKids @hopkinssurgery @NAFTNet

As I set an OOO message for my first day of furlough — shamelessly cribbed from @sherlyholmes' newsletter — I'm moved to ask, if you've read and enjoyed the TV coverage at the Times these last 11 months, that you consider subscribing: https://t.co/bI3o48KgX5

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

This weekend we saw too many people packing beaches, trails and parks. So we are closing sports and recreation at @LACityParks and closing parking at city beaches. That doesn’t mean gather elsewhere. This is serious. Stay home and save lives.
