CA Gubernatorial candidate @TomSteyer on Zoom call says he is organizing an alternative debate for tonight at 5:30 following the last minute cancellation of the USC/ABC event. Details TBA. Venue is in DTLA 5:30. Says he is still trying to get all candidates to attend @NBCLA

California legislative leadership not happy with the USC/ABC Gubernatorial Debate tomorrow. Sends letter this evening demanding the four candidates left out (Becerra, Villaraigosa, Yee and Thurmond) be included. If not, they will call on all voters/viewers to boycott @NBCLA

@ZavalaA @lsanchez020 @WeAreCTA Ashley! Congratulations and welcome to the Los Angeles Market! It’s about time the rest of CA gets to see your skill and tenacity! Good luck!

California Politics 360 this SUNDAY: •CDCR whistleblower speaks exclusively to us about how state’s prison system is failing to track criminals on parole. •CARB Chair @lsanchez020 on state’s oil and gas situation •@WeAreCTA Pres David Goldberg on statewide teacher strikes

"I don't think we should be talking about the future of LA in the context of friendship and betrayal, we need to be talking about the issues that are facing us." Nithya Raman in her first sit-down interview as LA Mayoral candidate @NBCLA youtube.com/watch?v=-ynsUt…

In federal court US DOJ attacks CA law banning police from using masks as a clear effort to “regulate” the federal government and thus a violation of the supremacy clause of the Constitution. Judge Christina Snyder takes the case under submission @NBCLA

@Ken_Rosenthal Wow

Padres could be sold

@MayorOfLA enlists Marine vets, including CA state Sen @CarolineMenjiv3 to demand end to deployment of US troops to LA. Calls it a waste of time. Nothing for them to do. Army vet and valley Chamber Pres Stuart Waldman : “this is overkill, unnecessary and needs to stop”@NBCLA

As Governor Gavin Newsom prepares to address the six month anniversary of the fire in Altadena… unhappy residents of that community want to meet with him regarding the cleanup. Start to protest in front of the assembled Media. @NBCLA

Respect for our participatory democracy requires respect for those who participate. This kind of pomposity sullies the reputation of the California legislature and its leadership. latimes.com/politics/story…

Veep says LA “rioting is better” but apparently the city has already been “destroyed”. Blames everything on Gov and Mayor but at least he got their names right. youtu.be/05DDx4--FqU?si… via @YouTube

Sen. Padilla placed in handcuffs in this video:

Stunning. Sen Alex Padilla (D) California was just forcefully removed from the news conference being held by DHS Kristi Noem in Westwood. Senator attempted to interrupt Noem. He was handcuffed in the hallway according to @brittanyhopetv @NBCLA

Keep in mind Elon could sabotage WH defense in multiple lawsuits against DOGE (wrongful termination, data privacy and due process concerns etc.) DOGE staff presumably loyal to him over POTUS. This could get… complicated. @NBCLA

Former SFPD Chief Bill Scott (and previous LAPD cop) announced as new head of security for LA METRO. Tasks include building from the ground up an internal METRO police agency. This comes as USDOT threatens withholding federal funds if crime isn’t reduced. @NBCLA @nbcbayarea

@TraciParkLA condemns Mayor’s move to eliminate 400 civilian jobs @LAPDHQ. Says critical functions of law enforcement will not be done. Trained positions should not be backfilled by taking sworn officers taken off the street. Overtime will wipe out any cost savings. @NBCLA

Chuck Todd’s advice to Kamala (don’t run and help rebuild your city instead) and to Gavin (have a Californian on your podcast for a change). Plus how Chuck Schumer saved Democrats @NBCLA nbclosangeles.com/on-air/newscon…

LA Mayor Karen Bass agrees her trip to Africa, just prior to the historic windstorm and wildfire disaster, was a mistake. @NBCLA youtube.com/watch?v=CXtZ-x…

LA city: 4p to 9p tonight most critical for “very serious” debris flow from the storm. Quick bursts of rain and possible high wind gusts says NWS. Any steep terrain a concern but particularly the burn zones. “Still a lot of uncertainty” @NBCLA

@CAGovernor Newsom kicks off second phase in fire recovery: clearing debris from burned out lots in Altadena and Palisades. “This is twice as fast as Woolsey Fire in 2018”. Thanks Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA and POTUS 47 for effort at getting communities rebuilt. @NBCLA
