LA County’s homeless policy is to simply subsidize rather than end homelessness.
As a result you pay a billion dollars a year to give free apartments and free needles to people who aren’t even from California.
Don’t vote for the people enabling this cycle.

Where are LA’s homeless from? I surveyed 210 homeless across LA, finding the majority are not from LA. My latest with @christopherrufo in @CityJournal: city-journal.org/article/la-hom…

@tomassidenfaden @esotouric FYI I voted for you… good luck in the election

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath told me the county can't fix unsheltered homelessness because they don't have the land.
They have the land.
Rancho Los Amigos in Downey: 74 county-owned acres, bought in 1887 to house the destitute, sitting unused since 1988. Wraparound medical and mental health services already on the adjacent campus.
You could shelter up to half of LA County's unsheltered population here alone.
Instead it's becoming a $479M office complex, warehouse, and parking garage — built at nearly triple market rate, restricted to the building trades unions that gave $100K to her campaign and helped her pass Measure A, the $1B/year homelessness sales tax she uses to route money to her donors.

@RebootTheGov @madrid_mike Dems have lost the plot chasing progressives instead of the 30% of undecideds, which is higher than any candidate is polling. Much of the “vote blue no matter who” crowd is put off by Dems saying methheads need new teeth instead of treatment and somehow enforcing the law is bad?!
English
@madrid_mike @Laurasenio There is no maga in la. This is the dumbest talking point. Anyone using maga to slander him has nothing. What about him is maga? No crime? No drugs? Enforce the law? Are these the positions the left is willing to cede to maga? Get a better talking point.

Nithya Ramans collapse began with a terrible debate performance but it’s largely been a function of the rise of Spencer Pratt - Democrats are rallying to who can beat the MAGA candidate- and Bass is surging.

NEW ALL-TIME LOW: Nithya Raman now has a 13% chance to win the Los Angeles Mayor election, down from a high of 59% in late April

Just watched All the President's Men for the first time. Wow.

I have watched OVERBOARD countless times. Every generation in my family loved it. It is eminently rewatchable.
The great Garry Marshall had a phenomenal run of romantic comedies, and this remains my favorite.
There is some suspension of disbelief required, as even as a high schooler, I saw this scene and thought, "That ain't right."
No matter how awful she is!
But the film is so good-natured, the chemistry and comic timing is perfection, and an early script by yet another great, Leslie Dixon, is superb.
How it gets us rooting for them and screaming, "Oh no!" when her husband shows up is an absolute magic trick.
It is because I loved movies like this just so much that I never wanted to focus on one genre.
Kurt Russell made USED CARS and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK back-to-back, so I wasn't surprised by his range at the time.
But as I get older, I am more and more amazed by it. What a gift he and Goldie Hawn are in this film.
I love this movie.

Light gray is 3-4 times more light reflective than dark blue. Painting it this color will increase the temperature of the water which will support even greater algae growth. Trump isn’t draining the swamp as much as he’s expanding it.

o que me deixa mais chocado nessa magreza extrema atual, é que nem nos anos 2000 quando isso virou moda entre as celebridades elas pareciam ter esse aspecto adoecido como hoje em dia...

quem inventou a magreza extrema por favor volte atrás, ela tinha um corpão cara

I don’t agree with a lick of his politics but I admire his integrity. I hope Kentuckians re-elect Massie instead of the pedo lap dog they have running against him.

Which way Kentucky voter?

It should be a bigger story that Donald Trump inherited a completely recovered economy from the Biden administration and then proceeded to destroy it by inventing a series of financial crises out of thin air as a result of dementia-induced psychosis.

He impresses me and I’m sick of progressives calling him a Republican in disguise. Becerra will probably win but he’s an empty suit with too much boomer establishment energy as far as I can tell. Even the Biden admin was unimpressed by him.
@MattMahanSJ gets my primary vote.
Ezra Klein@ezraklein
Here's @MattMahanSJ, on the lessons — both politics and policy — of trying to cut unsheltered homelessness in San Jose to zero

@ochoa56369 @KTLA It’s the campaign’s and super PAC’s ad spend, dude. Nothing to see here other than they spent more on tv advertising than Becerra.
English
KTLA - is this you? Is this why you edited that Becerra video? $3M donation is not pocket change, baby! Media can’t be trusted and we are here to expose you @KTLA

Right, only his and his grifting family’s

Trump today: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anyone." The epitaph for his gravestone.

So bad in so many ways
Tim Miller@Timodc
On the other hand this is cringe-inducingly bad from Becerra

@nithyavraman I say this as a lifelong Dem…this is painfully out of touch with what LA is facing right now

“if you’re a climate voter deciding what to do in the June 2 primary, I’m confident in saying that Raman is a better choice than the incumbent — especially now that I’ve talked wither her about her climate plan, which was released today” climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/nithya-raman…

I have two principles in this life. Be authentic, and don’t be a hypocrite. To call a guy Sleepy for four years and then to ignore the many times your guy sleeps on camera violates those principles
