Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing…

But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.

KNOW THIS: Altadena is a predominantly African-American community community where Black families were redlined into. It’s not the Palisades, but losing homes, livelihoods & generational wealth is equally devastating.

Communities targeted by redlining have historic reasons to distrust government.

I’m deeply saddened by the devastating impact the fires are having here in California. So many lives have been affected—not just through the loss of homes, but in countless other ways as well. My hearts go out to everyone facing these challenges.

Price gouging after the fires is illegal, and that includes rent gouging, which we've already seen. Despicable.

Do me a favor—share this quick explainer by @reeciecolbert.bsky.social with folks ‘confused’ about the LAFD budget cut and its impact on the fires.

Spoiler: the “budget cut” was covered by an overrun. Translation? The department didn’t run out of money—they spent far more than originally approved.
