@Scott_Wiener You obviously don’t care whatsoever about the impact of wind farms on marine life which is well documented. Shameful

Every time you think this regime can’t get any dumber & can’t do more to harm American economic strength, it finds a new low — here, killing a wind energy project & diverting the funds for new fossil fuel generation.

@Scott_Wiener Funny if mlb requires players to where maga hats for a make America great game I suspect you would be all out of sorts

People have a right to whatever religious beliefs they want — even if those beliefs dehumanize other people — but they don’t have a right to hijack their employer to promote those hateful beliefs at a job-related event.
MLB didn’t penalize them for their faith. It penalized them for violating the rules of their employment.
Josh Hawley@HawleyMO
What does MLB think it’s doing penalizing players for their Christian faith? They owe us some answers. Right now.

@Scott_Wiener Do you think Scott Bessent is mistreated in the White House? Give me a break
English
Yes we do since in San Francisco, unlike in the White House, we treat LGBTQ people as full human beings & we think bigotry is bad. Perhaps go back into your cave for a minute to chill out.

Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore

Elements of MAGA conspiracy:
1. Vast network of LA voters communicate telepathically to surge vote for Raman.
2. They vote later rather than earlier to draw attention to themselves and to piss off MAGA.
3. They also vote for Measure ER to fund hospitals just to mess with MAGA.
Gina Beana Fofina@Ginasassyass
Los Angeles County’s Measure ER, a 0.5% sales tax increase to fund healthcare services, narrowly passed after days of counting. Early returns and in-person voting showed strong opposition. Then a surge of late mail-in ballots flipped it to Yes 50.6% – No 49.4%. This isn’t the first time late-counted mail ballots have dramatically shifted a close California race. Voters who went to the polls in person largely rejected raising their own taxes. The late ballots that decided it broke heavily the other way. Whether it’s legal ballot harvesting, demographic differences in who votes by mail, or something worse, the result is the same: public trust takes another hit. California already has some of the loosest election rules in the country (universal mail ballots + harvesting). When outcomes hinge on the last batches counted, people are right to demand answers. We need: Full forensic audits of close races Stronger chain-of-custody rules for mail ballots Voter ID requirements that actually mean something Election integrity isn’t a partisan issue, it’s the foundation of self-government. What happened in LA County should concern every American who care about fair elections.

Democrats massively outnumber Republicans in LA by nearly 4 to 1.
Republican Spencer Pratt ran an in-your-face MAGA campaign in deep blue LA.
If you’re screaming fraud because Pratt lost, then what you’re really saying is you hate democracy. Or you don’t get math. Or both.
Vulture@vulture
Spencer Pratt said he’d leave L.A. if he lost the mayor’s race. Now he’s calling anyone who believed him a ‘dim-witted jerk.’ In his concession video, he also calls his opponents, two women of color, ‘commie animals.’ vulture.com/article/spence…

It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses.
It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.

@tedlieu @DAGToddBlanche Great idea let’s continue to prosecute our political opponents. That’s what democracy is all about. You could be next.
English
The Acting AG, @DAGToddBlanche, is a national disgrace.
His actions in covering up the Epstein Files to protect trump are unethical and likely illegal.
He will be disbarred. He will be investigated. And if the facts warrant it, he will be prosecuted.
November is coming.
Aaron Parnas@AaronParnas
NEW: Epstein survivors release statement blasting Todd Blanche following the revelation that he worked alongside the White House to protect Trump from the Epstein files. "We deserve better. We deserve truth, transparency, and accountability. We deserve to be taken seriously when we come forward."

FACT PATTERN: There are nearly 4 times as many registered Democrats in Los Angeles as Republicans.
MATH QUESTION: Are there more Democrats or Republicans in LA?
BONUS QUESTION: About how many Democrats would have to cross over to elect a MAGA Republican candidate as LA Mayor?

Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.
And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!
You don't think that's worth it?
Brad Gerstner@altcap
You are smarter than this Ro. Imagine if Bernie had taxed @elonmusk 100% on his PayPal capital gains. We would have no @Tesla or @SpaceX - none of those jobs or GDP. Who do you think allocated the capital better for society? He will already pay $100 B + in taxes - more than any human ever. I hope he donates some to kids via @TrumpAccounts to make every kid a shareholder in 🇺🇸 & continues investing all his heart, soul & money for the benefit of America & all humanity! 🇺🇸🚀🤍

@tedlieu The people that are stupid are the people that are running LA to the ground. Have you been downtown lately? It’s dangerous, it’s dirty and it’s an embarrassment. I’d respectfully suggest you focus on finding a solution to this rather than mock those who want to fix the problem
English
Today Spencer Pratt conceded and said: “I’ve been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them.”
If you think that type of MAGA campaign and language was resonating in deep blue LA where Dems massively outnumber GOP by nearly 4 to 1, then you are stupid.
English
@RoKhanna @yashar Thank you for the thoughtful post. While I suspect we disagree on most things it is helpful to have someone from your side of the aisle support implementing mechanisms that will hopefully result in people of all political persuasions having more confidence in election results
English
A close friend of mine is cancelling his voter registration today. He is convinced Spencer Pratt was robbed of the election. I explained to him that in California we count absentees first (which skew older and more conservative) and election day voters are younger and more Democratic. The slow count is largely because of policies to maximize participation, including postmarking a ballot on Election Day.
Regardless, we need to figure out in California how we can get the vote counted faster and results tabulated so it does not drag on. We should make the investments in operational improvements and resources in the wealthiest state in the nation. It is worth spending the resources to get the vast majority of the vote counted within 48 hours. Right now the system is eroding trust and spawning conspiracy theories.
English
@Scott_Wiener Yeah that’s it. How about just having a normal election like we did for 200 years before all this nonsense started in this state.
English
Let’s be very clear what’s happening: MAGA operatives are working overtime to cast doubt on the LA Mayor’s race to justify passing their atrocious proposals to make it much harder or impossible for people to vote.
They’re laying groundwork for straight up voter suppression.
English
Not planning on watching today’s match, obviously.
I continue to confidently stand by my reporting and the work of my great editors and fact-checkers on those stories.
Thinking of everyone who remains affected by the issue of domestic violence and who also can’t watch today.

@tedlieu @spencerpratt .. as a representative of the people this should concern you. Aside from that the city of Los Angeles particularly the downtown area is in shambles and getting worse every week. This should concern you too. It is why Spencer Pratt has struck a chord
English
@tedlieu @spencerpratt The California electoral system is a joke. Whether there is or isn’t voter fraud going on it is highly susceptible to it and it has become the laughing stock of the country. A large portion of the electorate lack confidence in it and regardless of party affiliation
English
Dear Republican @spencerpratt: Before you spew conspiracy theories, here are some numbers for you in LA.
Approximate number of registered Democrats: 1,224,737
Approximate number of registered Republicans: 326,292
This is why you won’t make the top two.

A couple takeaways from the LA mayoral debate tonight:
Nithya Raman is not LA’s Zohran Mamdani. No where close.
No serious person in LA believes Spencer Pratt should be mayor.
Karen Bass hasn’t been perfect, but she’s got a record & results to prove it.

1 year ago today, Dave Portnoy forced me to go to Auschwitz and apologize to the jews
I refused — and Dave tried to ruin my life
I was expelled from university, my post-grad job offer was revoked, I lost my “best friends”, was removed from my fraternity, received death threats, had my house broken into, and even got banned on Cash-app and PayPal
These are the scare tactics jews will use to frighten you into submission
Never bend the knee, never apologize, and always double down
1 year later, I don’t regret a thing.
