@jayctigerfan Also, LAPD paid out $9.5 million in a police shooting case and misconduct by sheriff’s deputies resulted in $47 million in settlements.

coverage of the LA budget has really jumped the shark. this could be a moment to teach people about austerity and why it’s not a moral issue, but a political one (i.e., capital demands it, regardless of which party is in power) that can be overcome. yet this is what we get 😔😢.

BREAKING: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded her Fire Department make an extra $49 million of budget cuts a week before the fires, per the Daily Mail. The extra cuts, requested just days before fires broke out, would have shut down 16 fire stations.
English
Mayor Bass left Saturday for Ghana and the fires started Tuesday. Yes, she cut budget the fire department budget by 2% by not hiring for the non-critical vacancies.
But yeah, pop off
Ana Kasparian@AnaKasparian
CA, and especially LA, is controlled by Democrats. THEY are responsible. No more passing the buck. Our Mayor, who was in Ghana as fires exploded in our city, cut the fire budget by $17 million. Endless amounts of money funneled to bullshit scammer homeless nonprofits. We’re the highest taxed yet we have encampments and squalor everywhere. Even worse, we don’t have enough firefighters to respond to the absolute disaster we’re experiencing right now. Rather than conserve the record rain we got last year, we just drained it into the ocean. We are a failing city run by a sick excuse for local government. You want to radicalize people against the modern Democratic Party? Send them to LA.

@cjpearson That was the Kern County Fire Department, not the Governor. Also the fire truck was retired from service prior to the donation. It was a part of a larger nonprofit effort to gather used firefighting equipment to send to Ukraine
English
7 months ago, Gavin Newsom gave several fire trucks to the country of Ukraine.
Now, as California burns to the ground, Zelenskyy is nowhere to be found.
Is anyone surprised?

I appreciate Jeffries and all, but I think 2 Corinthians 6:14 has something to say about this moment in politics

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries welcomes the 119th Congress with words of wisdom and an olive branch: "It's time for us to put down our partisan swords and pick up our bipartisan plowshares." Nothing but class.

@cjpearson @votetimscott Congrats to him, but he is second Black person from that party since Reconstruction compared to the Dem’s 10. So … the old whit guys label kinda sticks
English
JUST IN: As of today, @votetimscott has officially become the longest serving African-American Senator in AMERICAN HISTORY.
Be sure to share this fact the next time someone attempts to call the Republican Party the party of “old white guys.”

With his goal after 30 seconds, @LAGalaxy forward Gabriel Pec scored the fastest Audi MLS Cup Playoffs goal in club history.

@AmandaKMontoya @APA Wow that’s wild. Kinda like saying you need to unabbreviate IBM or AT&T
English
This is absurd @APA, the copyediting process should not be hard and it should not take hours out of my day to change things back to how they were. No on in their right mind unabbreviates SPSS and SAS: "statistical package for social science and statistical analysis system"

The Exit Polls are a survey with sampling bias and large margins of error. Our analysis of actual precinct data reveals Latino vote was about 5-7 pts less Dem than 2020 but still well over 60% for Harris, in some instances 67% or 70% in favor of Harris.

An important insight. Some people are saying hierarchical values concerning race didnt matter this election because non whites are shifting toward trump, but non whites can hold these attitudes too in a way that shapes their vote.
John Sides@johnmsides
Important: any ongoing racial depolarization in the electorate is creating *more* polarization on *racial attitudes*. Black and Latino voters who are now voting Republican tend to have conservative views on race and immigration. For example... goodauthority.org/news/america-i…
