Cheviot Hills tennis courts are way nicer than Riverside. We gotta work on our Griffith Park courts. I think I saw something about a new master plan for that area, so will gladly provide that feedback.

Raman is hitting her benchmark to overtake Pratt. At this point, it is fair to say she is favored, though outstanding turnout remains uncertain and the race is still tracking toward a very close finish.

UPDATE on this: Today's drop of about 31,800 votes give Raman 4,200 votes over Platt. That's right around what she would need to overtake him, and it's a much higher vote share than she got in the previous drop. This is still very possible for Raman if this vote share holds.

Ride the D to @WeHoCity Pride this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 💜 Take the D Line to Wilshire/La Cienega Station. Then connect on the free Pride Ride shuttle to Melrose. Runs every 30 min, 5 pm-midnight (Fri-Sun). Please see map below.

Pratt's lead was 8.1% as of Wednesday morning. As a reminder and comparison, the mayoral primary in 2022 shifted by a net 12 percentage points (the margin between Bass and Caruso), though it was clear both would advance.

UPDATE from Los Angeles: Spencer Pratt's lead over Nithya Raman for the second spot goes down from 7.1% to 5.9% with today's update. Of roughly 32K ballots counted today in city of LA, Raman received 33% to Pratt's 20%. (Bass got 37%). (Overall margin is now 35% Bass, 29% Pratt, 23% Raman.)

Kennedy Center tells staff to remove Trump’s name from building after court ruling

First time seeing one of these signs

Here's LADOT's rendering of what 4th and New Hampshire will look like - probably in early 2027. Thanks Cm Heather Hutt, Board of Public Wks, LADOT, BOE, @crosswalksla.bsky.social, and others for making this happen.

Not sure what caused or uncorked the latest delay on this. I encouraged folks to reach out to City Councilmember Hutt's office... and Hutt came through! The staff report notes that Hutt "requested implementation without undue delay"

👀

Whew, I was beginning to worry about the 4th/New Hampshire roundabout project falling between the L.A. City cracks, but it's on the Board of Public Works agenda for next Monday 6/8 to approve a bid received in January. Image from staff report:

This.

Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."

You sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but the acting Attorney General directed the IRS to stop all ongoing audits of Trump, but we know from leaked tax returns that Trump owes more than $100 million in unpaid taxes, so Trump is basically just giving himself a free hundred plus million dollars.

this is far from the first anti-Black political decision by this court. In 2024, the same court forced officials in Caddo Parish to REDO AN ELECTION because a Black man won by one vote. Luckily, he won again. But it was similarly a decision made out of a fear of Black political power.

Californians in walkable, diverse, livable neighborhoods with strong public transit options — that's our future.

No better day to ride the D (train) than election day.

god dammit

I won't trust this until there's detail on paper about dropping it permanently. Don't forget the settlement also let Trump and his entire family off the hook for any tax crimes they've committed. That needs to go too.

Could there be a Coach Balto x LeBron x South Pasadena Bike Bus brewing for next week? 👀

The newest estimate of California's homeless population is 182,000, DOWN 2.8% from 2024 to 25, according to long-awaited official figures released by HUD. California's decrease mirrors a national 3% decrease over the same period. www.huduser.gov/portal/sites...

The longest light-rail line in the world — the Metro A Line from Long Beach to Pomona — will get longer. A construction manager was hired to scope out the extension to Claremont.

I went Steyer. Hoping for a Dem top 2.

Highlighting this from @reporterliz.bsky.social's very essential daily newsletter, Squawk Box, so that hopefully you bums see it before you see the fake poll

"LA is not getting…economies of scale that other parts of the world, like Asia, are hitting. Even European countries, which have strong unions & environmental protections…do it cheaper because they build transit regularly and have…agencies…do it, as opposed to contracting and subcontracting it out."

ICE is targeting press outside Delaney Hall

Also LA Mayor is the most important race in the country right now (besides maybe CA governor) and probably the biggest opportunity for a progressive YIMBY improvement over the incumbent. If you can but you haven’t donated yet… what are you even doing. www.nithyaforthecity.com
