Vital viewing for any non-British followers who want to understand the pogroms taking place in Northern Ireland It would also be vital viewing for a lot of British people, but I suspect my own UK followers know already.

Los Angeles City 6/6 Drop 🔵 Nithya Raman – 23,514 (40.2%) 🔵 Karen Bass – 19,312 (33.0%) 🔴 Spencer Pratt – 10,336 (17.7%) Raman’s rough benchmark against Pratt was 8.7%, so this is a 14-point overperformance.

From a housing perspective, I actually think the LA mayoral race might be more important than the governor’s race. The pro-housing momentum at the state level has always been in the legislature, but Los Angeles NEEDS a pro housing mayor.

2 years ago, at a WH roundtable on PBMs, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra spent 5 minutes talking about everything but PBMs. I dug deeper & found him confused about the subject. Yet he may become governor of California, because in the Democratic Party you pay no price for not knowing anything.

Every Californian who cares even a little bit about their city’s financial health should read this thread. Take two minutes to thoroughly read it and then share it. If this measure goes to the ballot and passes it would destroy El Cerrito’s budget and those so many other California cities.

Hollywood is key to LA’s economic vitality. Under Mayor Bass’s leadership, film production has collapsed in LA. Over 40,000 jobs have been lost. And things are about to get a lot worse unless the Warner Brothers/Paramount merger is stopped.

15 minutes into tonight's California gubernatorial debate: it's clear Becerra is totally unprepared to handle the state's two biggest challenges. Freezing insurance rates will destroy the market. Downpayment assistance (subsidizing demand) will never solve the housing crisis.
