Los Angeles is a completely failed city and if you're stupid enough to continue voting for the people who failed you, you deserve what you get.

My colleagues just approved $2.75 million for a new arts program with no deliverables, no metrics, and no accountability. $1 million in cash grants to “individual artists.” $250,000 for “binational creative economy” projects nobody can define. $500,000 to one specific group inside the City of San Diego. This is exactly how fraud starts, and it’s exactly why I voted no.

Hot Take: Over 5M World Cup tickets have been sold. These were likely bought by scalpers, brokers, and ticket agencies to resell for a profit. The World Cup will be a financial disaster for many US host cities. The secondary ticket market is going to get absolutely crushed, and it couldn't happen to a nicer group of people.
Forbes@Forbes

Nearly 80% of U.S. hoteliers in 11 World Cup host cities say bookings are tracking below original forecasts, with some describing the tournament as a “non-event,” according to an American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) survey of members released Monday.

I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.

Animal abuse through the roof, profiting off homelessness, and just absolute rampant fraud. None of this is new, but there is the feeling that there no more grown ups in the room willing to stand up and make the hard choices. Just do what's popular and push the problems down the

Hate to be a doomsayer... But the trends of this country are hard to see beyond. More war, more inflation, people assaulting and abusing children at every opportunity, light on crime but hard on citizens who stand up, more mergers, more volume, less quality, data centers,

We pay $795 a year for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card and they won’t let us into a half empty Sapphire Lounge with plenty of open seats. “You’re more than 3 hours before your flight. You can’t enter.” “But Delta delayed our flight 6 hours.” “Nothing we can do. You can wait somewhere else.” Finally cancelled my Chase Sapphire Reserve.

I have now been accosted by two Republican members of Congress for trying to remove pesticide liability protections. Both of which claim to be “God-fearing” Christians, but are shilling for cancer causing pesticide companies. Yikes. One even claims to be pro-life, but is cool with pesticides killing kids.

The farm bill is back on the menu tonight. This place is insane. Keep up the pressure to pass the amendment to strip out pesticide labeling ban / immunity from the farm bill. It’s now possible we will vote on it tonight.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie

The vote on the Farm Bill (with PRIME Act included!) is likely delayed two weeks now due to fight over E15. I look forward to voting for an amendment to strip the pesticide immunity/state labeling ban from the bill when it comes up. With public support, the amendment could pass.
