@JosephKahn I don't know about your locations, but the IA has negotiated multiple tiers (i.e. hourly rate, etc.) based on project budget. Not sure what you're trying to negotiate? Why do you need SAG bg and cops?

I'm trying to get some work into LA right now and it's a fucking nightmare. Unions don't negotiate, locations don't negotiate. Non union gigs get flipped. Every extra in SAG tries to upgrade to OCP so I have to write them out. Need to hire a gazillion cops. The cost of everything is nuts. There's just so much I can do before I have to take this shit to Thailand. If everyone can't be bothered, neither can I.

@iamgabesanchez @spencerpratt Thanks for this. Now I know who I'll be voting for.

.@spencerpratt's mayoral run is a blatant grift. He's weaponizing the wildfires for sympathy while chasing taxpayer-funded perks, including the mayor's mansion. When questions surfaced about his eligibility after moving to his parents' Santa Barbara County home, he took out an SBA loan, bought an Airstream trailer, and had it craned onto his burned Pacific Palisades lot just to manufacture LA residency for his campaign. Why should anyone trust him to manage a city when he couldn't manage his own checkbook? He and Heidi torched $10 million on her failed music career, $4,000 bottles of wine, and a million-dollar crystal collection before nearly declaring bankruptcy. Now he wants access to City Hall and all the perks that come with it?

People all over the States need to understand our desire for Pratt here in Los Angeles has no bearing on our political alignment. We are simply trying to save our city. We’ve hit rock bottom under Bass. It’s not always right or left. Sometimes it comes down to the person.

Karen Bass is so terrified of accountability, she’s disenfranchising the very Palisades fire victims who lost everything under her watch. Displaced residents temporarily living outside of LA but keeping their Palisades lots as primary residence are getting ballots stripped of the LA Mayor race — conveniently silencing the neighborhood that hates her most. No homes, no water pressure, no leadership, no insurance…and now no vote? Bass isn’t just failing LA — she’s rigging the escape hatch. Palisades deserves better. Fire victims deserve their voice. Vote like your city depends on it LA, because it does! @MayorOfLA @spencerpratt

There are clearly situations in which it's rape even without resistance (the victim is unconscious, sleeping, drugged, mentally handicapped, a child, etc.) But if giving in to a bit of pressure (I prefer to call it persuasion) is rape, I have raped a lot of past boyfriends. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ramon_libre @LA_DOTr No

@LA_DOTr You ever think the handful of assholes who trash stations may have some connection to the private companies that public transit agencies pay billions to for fare enforcement?

Candidates who don’t understand that fare collection and fare enforcement increase rider safety while reducing vandalism do not inspire confidence that they’ll make wise policy choices.

Gavin Newsom says in yet another terrible answer that he released a 1,000 page report on what California got right (lol nothing) and wrong during COVID, but uhh…where is it? Cause as far as I can tell it was announced a year ago and it’s not here

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

🚨Philadelphia Student Faces Expulsion for Exposing Classmates Who Can’t Read🚨 The Philadelphia high school student who went viral for showing his classmates struggling to read simple words like “silhouette” and “extraordinary” is now being threatened with expulsion, banned from prom, and blocked from graduating — just for exposing his school’s embarrassing literacy crisis. As a teacher myself, this is the reality in far too many classrooms across the country. Yet the left wants our students more focused on protesting than actually learning to read. Prioritize education over activism. Stop punishing truth-tellers. #EducationFailure #LiteracyCrisis #PhiladelphiaSchools #WakeUpAmerica #SchoolReform #TeacherTruth #PrioritizeReading

@WellsJorda89710 I mean, it looks bad, but "gauche" is a pretty archaic word. "Extraordinary" and "silhouette" should be easy, though.

🧵🚨 BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API. 🚨 17,662 people have signed up. The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps. The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy... ...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration." And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Los Angeles Democrat leaders are now moving to allow NONCITIZENS to vote in their elections They aren't even HIDING it. Their reason? It happens ELSEWHERE already — and a vast swath of LA are noncitizens This needs to be banned nationwide. They're open about their FRAUD. "Close to 40% of the city of Los Angeles is composed by immigrants. Not all of them are naturalized citizens that can now cast a vote." "The majority in fact are individuals who are green card holders, refugees, DACA holders, people with temporary protected status." This is batsht crazy.

Who makes better parents? Left-wingers or right-wingers? Right-wingers, says Jonathan Haidt, #1 NYT bestseller and one of the most cited living social psychologists. “Right-wingers make better parents than left-wingers, and there’s a lot of data on this.”

This is one of the all-time funniest stories. As it turns out, true-blind selection makes most fields - from music to nursing - LESS diverse in gender and sometimes race terms. So, we don't do it anymore.

I CAN'T BREATHE 🤣🤣🤣

@Hotshot_Movie They need to check their registration. And then they can adjust it. x.com/roxannehoge/st…

Wow. The LA registrar is blocking Palisades Fire victims from voting for Spencer Pratt. Many are sheltered in rentals outside of LA City, and they’re being sent ballots without the option of voting for LA Mayor, despite retaining their Palisades lot as their primary residence.

.@TEDTalks cancelled my talk about women’s rights conflicting with men like this, as soon as it was announced. @TEDTalks platformed him. @TEDTalks de-platformed me. I’m an Olympic champion; I have lived experience of sport. I’m a civil rights lawyer & author; w expertise on women’s rights. I’ve taught Sports Law for 20 years. It’s galling. x.com/Jonnywsbell/st…

What an amazing clip. This is the essence of Tuckerism. NYT asks him why he called Trump the Antichrist. He says he never said it. NYT shows a clip. Tucker says he doesn’t know what the Antichrist is. Jesus Christ. What a snivelling coward.
