America First? Republican Sen. Tim Scott blocked Elizabeth Warren's bill seeking to stop Trump’s unprecedented $20 billion bailout of Argentina and its far right government. Warren sharply criticized Trump for giving Milei a massive handout while gutting health care benefits for millions at home.

GOP Blocks Warren Bill to Stop Trump’s “Brazen” $20B Argentina Bailout

“For Trump, the leader of Argentina is more important than American families struggling with rising costs,” said Warren.

LA Mayor Karen Bass is requesting a veto on transit-oriented development bill SB 79, which is headed to Gavin Newsom's desk: "While SB 79 allows for local ordinances as an alternative compliance, it does not provide a viable path for a pro-housing city like Los Angeles"

September 17, 2025
The Honorable Gavin Newsom
Governor, State of California
1021 O Street, Suite 9000
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 79 (Wiener) - Housing development: transit-oriented development
Los Angeles Mayor Bass - REQUEST FOR VETO
Dear Governor Newsom, I write to respectfully request your veto on Senate Bill 79 (Wiener). While I support the intent to accelerate housing development statewide, as written, Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) risks significant unintended consequences for many of Los Angeles' diverse communities. As Mayor, creating more affordable housing remains a top priority, and I have cut red tape and spearheaded local initiatives, such as the Citywide Housing Incentive Program, to
accelerate housing development. We must create more housing near transit hubs and areas with access to jobs, education, and amenities. We must streamline the production of housing for all Angelenos. However, we must do so in a way that does not erode local control, diminish community input on planning and zoning, and disproportionately impact low-resource neighborhoods. The City of Los Angeles has already made substantial efforts to align with state housing goals and
increase housing development citywide and will continue to do so. While SB 79 allows for local ordinances as an alternative compliance, it does not provide a viable path for a pro-housing city like Los Angeles. For these reasons, I respectfully request
your veto on SB 79.
Sincerely,
Kaven Bass
KAREN BASS
Mayor

While there’s concern Gov. Newsom’s office will table a key transit loan until next year, politicians suggest there’s still hope for the funding measure to find approval before this week’s...

In a truly tectonic Overton Window shift, the California Assembly just voted 63-0 to advance #AB609, a major new bill by Buffy Wicks to create a statutory exemption from CEQA for environmentally friendly infill housing.

Fantastic news for both housing and the environment!
