Also, maybe one reason there were no LA28 officials at this press conference? Traci Park says she "went to war with LA28" to get them to site Olympic events in Venice Beach so it would be back in the headlines "for all the right reasons"

LA's parks department is proposing fencing MacArthur Park with "a green wrought iron fence around both the northern and southern sections of the park. The proposed fence would fully enclose the historical Wilshire Boulevard sides and the eight historically prominent cornered ingress/egress points"

"Remember, Los Angeles is also on the hook for Olympic overruns. The Convention Center bill starts coming due the very same year we could be forced to absorb those Olympic overages."
I asked Yaroslavsky for her prepared remarks because I felt they captured this particular moment in LA so perfectly

And there you have it: Trump confirms he will use military force "if we have to" to secure LA's Olympics.
"We'll do anything necessary to keep our Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military."
"Because obviously we have a mayor who is not very competent"

The city of Los Angeles has tentatively agreed to pay $500,000 to two journalists who claim their rights were violated four years ago, when police arrested them as they covered a protest in Echo Park.

Hi everyone
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Last year, unions sent letters to local and international megaevent organizers urging them to endorse the Olympic wage campaign.
They didn't endorse it. Stuart Waldman, a member of the LA28 organizing committee, publicly opposed the wage increase, saying it would cause "irreversible damage"

My senator (Ben Allen) authored a bill over that would have severely curtailed the rights of CSA survivors under AB218. Last week, he pulled SB 832—for now.

Since I'm seeing it everywhere:
I worked in LA City Hall when the budget passed. Our office voted No. But the idea that LAFD was "defunded" to increase the LAPD budget is not accurate. Both got increases due to salary hikes. LAFD's deal just happened after the budget process -- LAPD's was before.
