Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?
1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge
2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients
3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

Los Angeles is a diverse community, roughly 50% white. We live together in harmony. We survived the January fires stronger than ever in spirit. Many more lives would have been lost if it weren’t for our excellent early-warning system and a population that pays attention to evacuation orders.

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

When I heard Jane Fonda was getting the SAG Life Achievement Award, my first thought was, “Why did they wait so long?” But while she spoke, I understood the universe was giving her this platform at the exactly right moment. All love, gratitude, and admiration to Jane Fonda.
