The California Coastal Commission has canceled 250th anniversary fireworks for the Fourth of July in Long Beach -- after 15 years of July 4th shows -- because of ridiculous claims that fireworks pollute the ocean. cbsnews.com/losangeles/new…




CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA: LA Housing Department Financial Officer Admits Witnessing Multiple Instances of Fraud Up To “$10–$20 Million” & “Going To People’s Pockets,” Homeless Developers Committing Forms Of Embezzlement, With Superiors Looking The Other Way To Help Mayor Karen Bass Maintain “Re-Election Funds.” “I have a couple of developers doing really sketchy stuff. My project was with a developer called CRCD — Marcella Gardens. We [LA City] can’t figure out where all the money is going… it’s going to people’s pockets.” “If they [LA Housing Department] were to call out the people [Developers] contacting Karen Bass’s office, she might not get enough money for re-election — or for what she needs done.” “For whatever reason, LAHSA gets allocated a ton of money, but they [LAHSA] don’t really have a whole lot to show for it.” Donald Byers, a Finance Development Officer from the Los Angeles housing programs, admits on hidden camera that millions of taxpayer money disappear inside the city’s low-income housing system. Byers told our undercover journalist he flagged the fraud internally but was ignored. “I’ve reported it… nothing happens.” Accountability is avoided. Despite years-long delays on projects, funding continues to flow even when, by his own admission, officials are failing. Meanwhile, as billions are poured into homelessness programs, the money is “going to people’s pockets.” Despite years-long project delays, funding continues to flow even as, by his own admission, oversight appears to be failing. After raising red flags, Byers says nothing changed and now he claims, “At this point, I’m just covering myself.” Our team reached out to Byers for comment and he threatened to contact lawyers in order to stop our publication. We also reached out to @LAHD___ , @CRCD_SouthLA , & @MayorOfLA for comment. Mayor Karen Bass replied with, “this is total BS.” Thank you, @Savsays for hosting this report. @ctznjusticelg @KarenBassLA @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @LAHD___ @CRCD_SouthLA

The math isn’t adding up in our medical schools. We have the residency spots, but we’re blocking U.S. students from filling them while educating a quarter of our workforce from abroad. Why is the system set up this way?

Sacramento wants to take your gas tax money—and spend it on empty transit and bike lane projects. AB 2560 would raid road funds while drivers pay more and get worse roads. Enough is enough. Fix our roads—not failed transit. Tell your legislator: VOTE NO on AB 2560.

President Donald Trump on Friday proposed to begin the process of privatizing airport security operations handled by the Transportation Security Administration, the federal agency created after the September 11, 2001, attacks. newsmax.com/politics/donal…



A UCLA Luskin poll finds 40% of Los Angeles voters are undecided in the 2026 mayoral race, with incumbent Karen Bass leading at 25% support. foxla.com/news/la-mayor-…

Can't make this up: California spent your tax dollars pushing people to buy electric vehicles. Now those EVs are breaking down. California's response: Use more tax dollars to fix the vehicles.



Today is a great day for Los Angeles: we are moving full steam ahead with what will be the highest ridership light rail line in the nation.
