Great journalism, ProPublica, & growing evidence that betrayals of integrity atop our justice system by likes of #ClarenceThomas & #SamuelAlito enable corruption throughout our courts, as right-wing politicians, in or out of robes, exploit every conflict of interest they can The Associated Press
His sellout saddled ALL Californians with hefty pollution & cleanup costs: Ever wonder why heavier, thicker #PlasticBags abound at grocery checkouts — & in dumps & storm drains? Here’s the scoop on the #DeLeonLoophole. CalMatters @LATimes SacBee Editorial Board citywatchla.com/climate/29485-…
“Heat Wave” on the organ Los Angeles Dodgers. Cheers to Dieter Ruehle for music for 102 degrees. Is artist #RobertVargas hydrating before throwing 1st pitch? Great tribute to his honorary day in L.A. & his gorgeous #ShoheiOhtani mural in #LittleTokyo. Boyle Heights Beat boyleheightsbeat.com/boyle-heights-…
“Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people.” Vice President JD Vance is winning this #PresidentialDebate against #WhatsHisName with well-crafted zingers like this one.
Calling him on cowardice: How the Vice President JD Vance has marshaled #Republicans against #WhatsHisName has proved particularly effective in this #PresidentialDebate. This reinforces how she frames her campaign as for “#freedom” & “country” & “#democracy” to welcome all voters.
Shame! Gasps in City of Pasadena chamber as @PasadenaMayorGordo Victor Gordo kills #ethics fix in 4-4 vote. Credit Councilmembers Jess Rivas Vice Mayor Jess Rivas 🦜 & Jason Lyon Pasadena District 7 for ordinance, in works for 3 yrs, to reduce $5.5k max contribs to $1k(Council) & $2.5(Mayor) LAist Los Angeles Times
Sublime, indeed: “From now on, the best day of your life should be known as an #Ohtani,” writes Jerry Brewer in The Washington Post. Sapient, stirring sports writing equal to this extraordinary athlete. #5151 #ShoheiOhtani #MVP Los Angeles Dodgers #WillIreton #LanguageAccess #Interpreting MLB
Victory! Thank you, Gov. Gavin Newsom for signing new law #SB1053 to shut #DeLeonLoophole & end travesty of thicker #PlasticBags that have choked our communities & riverbeds with even worse, costlier waste CalMatters Los Angeles Times The Sacramento Bee LAist Mercury News gov.ca.gov/2024/09/22/gov…
Enviro win 10 yrs in making: New law signed by Gov Newsom closes loophole carved by #KevinDeLeon for polluters, big donors to his campaigns.

Great answer by Governor Tim Walz on ending killing of students with firearms & assault weapons. No clear response from #JDVance but to agree with the longtime lawmaker & current governor whose son experienced threat of #GunViolence.
Democracy Dies in Double Standard: Cowardice by billionaire Jeff Bezos to break tradition, suppress editorial voice of The Washington Post & kill endorsement in Pres. contest is another threat to #PressFreedom. Mimicking ’s spinelessness & falsehood at Los Angeles Times Shame!
No badge for bigotry: This ouster is win for #PublicSafety & #PublicIntegrity. #CivilianOversight takes a village, incl diligent local reporting like award-winner Keri Blakinger. #DoNotRehire not enough; #decertification is essential tool AirTalk with Larry Mantle KCRW Press Play latimes.com/california/sto…
