🤦♂️ this was such an obvious fix to ULA and we can’t even manage that. God I hate LA local politics so much.
Outrageously stupid decision by the LA City Council, perhaps the worst governing body in the United States of America.
Los Angeles won’t be tweaking its ‘mansion tax.’ Now the debate is likely to go statewide
The ballot measure do-over for LA's 'mansion tax' was intended to ward off a statewide anti-tax crusade.

Nuremberg trials or this country is done
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Metro's decision yesterday on the C line extension is emblematic of the problems that plague Metrolink and LOSSAN. Part-time boards of local electeds are structurally disincentivized to deliver system-wide improvements, whether that's a light rail network or mainline electrification.
well now that the monorail is dead, after today's south bay vote, will my new crusade be metro board governance reform to get all of these ghouls out of the way of building our system? signs point to yes.

Donald Trump can’t change history, we know what we saw on this day four years ago. It was domestic terrorism and treason, plain and simple. No number of pardons or lies will change that.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.
