MERKLEY: You didn't include deficit numbers in the budget. Why not? VOUGHT: We didn't want to confuse the country. MERKLEY: The deficit can be extracted if you do the math—it's $2.2 TRILLION in 2027. Perhaps you didn't include it because you didn't want to draw attention to it.

@BrandiKruse Third one sounds pretty good

The first frontrunner for CA governor poured hot mashed potatoes on her husband. The second frontrunner turned out to be a sexual predator. The third frontrunner wants to arrest ICE agents. In case you're wondering how the Democratic Party is doing.

@LA_Multi_Fam Good people don’t support this asshole, fyi

If the “only viable candidate” has continually tried to bankrupt you, that is not a viable candidate. Seems pretty simple, and yet the YIMBYs are continually shocked by this position held by those who actually build and operate the housing. Pratt over Raman!

We are done with Democrat rule. Time for change! ☀️

@Duncky33 @_lej44 @spencerpratt Causes he’s a bloated sick fuck

@_lej44 Why isn’t @spencerpratt included?

Sherman Oaks HOA dropped they will be moderating a debate b/t Bass and Raman May 5th 👀

@KevinPDQBugs @_lej44 Because no one wants to vote for this sick fuck

@_lej44 Why no Pratt? That is a public facility and excluding him, if he actually wants to participate, would appear to be illegal.

Trump is reportedly negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for $20 Billion in Iranian assets being unfrozen. Note that The Iranian Nuclear agreement (JCPOA) that Obama signed, that Trump tore up, did the same thing. It halted their Uranium enrichment while turning over frozen assets. In other words Trump Tore up the agreement, spent $55 Billion on a war, got hundreds of Americans injured, killed 150+ kids and exploded oil prices to try and negotiate the same basic deal that Obama did.

@PatriotiSamm @E_Barcohana Better than pretty much any republican run state?

A few conclusions from this: 1. 🔵Here comes Becerra. 2. 🟡Independents are likely not going to be determinative in the primary bc they look evenly split. 3. 🔴The Delegates in the CAGOP are not reflective of the CA Republican electorate.

Lucas on MAGA's (robotic, subconscious, programmed by Fox News) use of Logical Fallacies to defend against the indefensible. It's important that you understand them and learn how to defend against them.

@Ron4California @nithyavraman Republicans are not the party of reform…

Okay, seeing a lot of random opinions on the LA mayoral race. Lemme spell out the issues. First, it’s not that @nithyavraman is not good at solving homelessness. She actively pushes homeless camps. She fights any efforts to clean them up. Her backers’ entire philosophy is “housing first.” Which means we build the housing, and if they want to move in they can. And if they don’t we’re stuck with them - wherever they decide to park their asses. Which leads to point #2: her actions against landlords and builders. Yes, she’s driving away investment in housing. That’s the point. Much like healthcare, she doesn’t want private investment. Housing should only be built by subsidized government contractors, following a maze of “affordable housing” regulations that don’t deliver - they only provide barriers to entry, leaving a few cronies cashing in. And it’s not just her. An entire class of DSA politicians, including her three colleagues @HugoForCD13 @EunissesH and @YsabelJuradoLA push these policies. And they have massive institutional support, from @latimes to @KTLA to @PublicCounsel to @LoyolaMarymount which put out that push poll to advertise them. Traci Park’s opponent - the one who sued the city to keep the “drughouse by the sea” - is getting major union money to try to unseat her. And in that sense, I offer a few words of support for @MayorOfLA . She means well. She helped Traci remove a number of Westside camps. I’d support her over Nithya if, heaven forbid, it came down between the two of them. I say this because the attacks on her homeless policies not being effective are cynical attacks by the above DSA backers, who think we should go back to doing nothing. She’s doing something - it’s at the speed of LA bureaucracy, but it’s something. We need more than the speed of bureaucracy though. We need bold reforms and that’s why I’m supporting @spencerpratt in the primary.

“I was in line w/ somebody from Barstow”

When vendors rip off the City of LA by overcharging or not even delivering on goods and services, (you) taxpayers foot the bill! Thanks to CD5, CD6, and CD15 for introducing this motion and collaborating with our Office on this upcoming performance audit.

@CieloBonit @spencerpratt Disgusting pig

I was able to listen to @spencerpratt on Joe Rogan, and I was impressed. I think he really has what it takes to be a fantastic mayor for Los Angeles. Bass is a Castro-loving communist who belongs in prison. Give it a listen.

@grok @Flatt0pH8r @Alt_Azn @RickCarusoLA Hahahahahaha

Mississippi ranks lower in most overall public school system rankings (e.g., WalletHub 2026: MS 40th, CA 30th; World Population Review 2025: MS 29th, CA 8th), which factor in resources, safety, and funding. However, on core student outcomes, Mississippi now outperforms California: recent NAEP data shows MS #1 nationally in 4th-grade reading/math when adjusted for poverty/demographics (up from near-bottom a decade ago), plus higher high school graduation rates (~87-90% vs. CA’s ~84-85%).

Nashville is what Los Angeles could be with the right leadership. A citywide wave of investment, new housing, and retail development is driving an economic boom and job growth here. The result is a high quality of life: safe, clean streets, no encampments blocking sidewalks, and genuine urban energy that attracts both businesses and residents. Nashville’s success isn’t an accident—it’s the product of disciplined, long-term leadership and smart policy.

NEW: Today is officially the last day as a county employee for L.A. County CEO Fesia Davenport, who has been on medical leave for the past six months and received a controversial $2 million taxpayer payout that LAist brought to light last fall. laist.com/news/politics/…

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

Katie Miller recently posted that “liberal men are unattractive.” So I just want to remind her of this hyperrealistic portrait I painted of her husband, Stephen Miller. Do you think I captured him well? 😜

I don't think a Supreme Court Judge should be telling me what the fuck my politics ought to be.
