@TheDemocrats Perhaps… one must remember the Dem playbook… never learn from the past social experiments.

@MayorOfLA The deflection: fraud isn’t our fault because… lackluster results isn’t our fault because… homeless industry indictments on the way because… @USAO_LosAngeles

LAHSA’s new report is expected to show that despite spending billions, LA’s homeless population sleeping on our streets increased by 8%. DSA City Council members voted AGAINST removing encampments near schools. These policies have to change. We have to deal with the homeless problem with compassion, but also with common sense and by enforcing the law.

This is an example of the f’ed up and unfair policies that @XavierBecerra / the left support in Los Angeles ..
A brick and mortar Mexican restaurant Mission Burrito and then literally right across the street there are street vendors taking up the whole sidewalk that don’t have to follow the same standards and likely don’t pay taxes etc selling Mexican food
So f’ed up for the legit business
@XavierBecerra says you should go to the stand that doesn’t have to follow rules and not the ones that do ..

For two years straight, we drove down homelessness by historic margins, but as expected, last year our efforts ultimately couldn’t keep up with policies and funding cuts at the federal and state levels that pushed more people onto the streets.
The Trump Administration has driven up the cost of gas, groceries, and rent, pushing more families to the edge, and slashed critical safety-net funding. And, last year’s 50% cut in state HHAP funding from $1 billion to $500 million — resulting in a $70 million hit to L.A. city alone — severely impacted our work to keep people housed and get more Angelenos off the streets.
We raised philanthropic dollars to help supplement the cuts, and this year I fought alongside other mayors to reverse these cuts, restoring it to $900 million.
The lack of adequate services provided by L.A. County continues to be a real problem and a contributing factor to people cycling in and out of homelessness.
Despite these headwinds, we have reduced homelessness in Los Angeles by 11% since 2023, placing tens of thousands of Angelenos in interim housing, moving 6,000 people off the streets through Inside Safe, and housing more than 1,000 homeless Veterans.
We declared a homelessness state of emergency on day one, addressed 130 encampments, and helped keep 85,000 people in their homes through eviction defense. We’re doubling down on what works.
But we also have to be clear-eyed about what’s not working. For thirty years, this city has run its homeless response through LAHSA — and audits and the courts have now made plain what too many Angelenos already saw: the money wasn’t tracked, providers went unpaid, and public trust eroded. I’m not going to defend a broken system. The City must build something better results-driven, transparent, and centered around the people we’re trying to help, not the bureaucracy.
This crisis was ignored by city leaders for decades, it’s only now that we’ve seen a historic decline. I will never stop fighting until we end street homelessness, because no Angeleno should be sleeping on the street.

@XavierBecerra We need all forms of energy! Remember, we’re inside a massive industrial epoch. Climate change will be solved, meanwhile the social upheaval will be a greater threat than heat.
English

High heat continues to ravage our communities. This is not normal.
As Attorney General, I worked on multiple cases to fight big oil and protect our planet.
As Governor, I will continue to work to better defend Californian families and vulnerable communities from the actions of big oil and the effects of climate change.
Stay safe, California.

@XavierBecerra You take climate change serious? How about pristine Mojave Desert habitats bulldozed for solar and wind? Seems odd that your staff would promote this irony.
English

Let my record show that I take climate change seriously.
As Attorney General, I established the Bureau of Environmental Justice.
As HHS Secretary, I oversaw the establishment of the Office of Environmental Justice within the HHS Office of Climate Change and Health Equity.
And now, as Governor, I’ll fight to protect California communities that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, and push for progressive environmental policies that will help California combat climate change.
