The LA New Liberals are a community of liberals dedicated to more housing, transportation, and immigration. Part of @cnliberalism. Join us at our next event!
A 60-day waiver of the Jones Act is unnecessary and ineffective. It’s a giveaway to foreign shipping interests, dressed up as relief at the pump. It’s deeply concerning that the Trump admin would open U.S. waterways to nonunion foreign competitors. aflcio.org/press/releases…
This is why we must hold the line against slopulism in housing policy. At first Warren's position was "investors can build as many apartment buildings as they want, they just can't build single-family homes to rent" Now she is sending menacing letters to institutional investors who build multi-family apartments and manufactured housing.
The Los Angeles metro area has once again shrunk by more than any other large US metro, losing 62,454 people from 2024 to 2025. Since the 2020 Census, it’s down a total of 360,252 people. To compare: over the same 2020-2025 period, the NYC metro has grown by 29,048.
The increasingly bad endorsement takes from @ggwash should be a reminder for urban mods / Abundance type that you need to create your own organizations that match your full governance agenda to fix blue cities and not just count on YIMBY and urbanist groups who will consistently fold to the crazy.
Moreno accurately characterizes this as an anti-renter measure, still not clear to me why the anti-liberal horseshoe thinks that’s a good idea.
LA is shooting itself in the foot. San Francisco, meanwhile, has embraced upzoning. Would be very interesting if SF ends up becoming much more pro development than LA in the coming years.
I'll go one better: Apartments are homes. Condos are homes. Families live in them. Children grow up in them. Seniors retire in them. It's disgustingly classist and condescending for @SenWarren to state otherwise.
An interstate power line can take over a decade to permit — because approval rests with individual states, sometimes individual counties. Dr. Liza Reed testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today on what Congress can do: ⚡Establish a narrow and clear federal authority to build interregional transmission ⚡Remove market barriers to advanced technologies like HVDC ⚡Enable competition so private developers can build without state monopoly protections blocking them A grid that grows the economy, provides affordable energy, and keeps American industry competitive. That's what's on the table. Read the full testimony: lnkd.in/evNPD6ki
If a CEO makes 50x more than their own workers, they can afford to invest in this city. @unitehere11 and @laane_org’s Overpaid CEO Tax Initiative will fund housing, afterschool programs, and critical infrastructure. I am the only mayoral candidate in this race who is willing tax the rich, full stop. Learn more at ceotax.la and raeforla.com 🌞
California corporations pay a flat tax rate — meaning our small businesses pay the same rate as the state’s most profitable companies. That makes no sense. As Governor, I’ll lower costs for Californians and put thousands back in your pocket by having the most profitable corporations pay a little bit more in their most profitable years.

“I am not asking — I am begging.” Big city California mayors were in Sacramento today urging Gov. @GavinNewsom and lawmakers to approve $1 billion for homelessness programs (HHAP)—warning shelters could close without it. Newsom’s budget proposes $500 million. He suggested he’s holding there for now, citing frustration with cities like LA not complying with SB 79, the state law requiring more high-density housing near transit. "You don't build, we're not going to fund," Newsom said. Watch below:
If cities and counties refuse to build housing, we're not going to fund them. The state has already delivered them $28+ billion to address homelessness and build. Build. Now. Enough!
