It’s really wild the extent to which Spencer Pratt‘s campaign is being funding by out of city and out of state MAGA donors. Almost the complete inverse of Raman who’s +70% city resident funded. x.com/iamgabesanch...

A UC Berkeley analysis of LA-area zoning found cities with more single-family zoning had higher incomes, whiter populations, better schools, and cleaner water — suggesting zoning shapes what resources people can access. cayimby.org/blog/las-apa...

A Terner Center report found California's condo defect laws — with a blanket 10-year liability window and no standardized defect definitions — have made condo construction so legally risky that 97% of new multifamily housing since 2011 has been built for rent. cayimby.org/blog/the-leg...

We are past discussing the cost of living. We are talking about the cost of survival.

As a former Army mom, I grieve for the families and friends that have lost and will lose loved ones in this senseless war of choice. Donald Trump does not care about the cost of his war because he doesn’t have to pay it. These families and friends do.

This is exactly the kind of project that creates affordable options for teachers, nurses, and others who get priced out of expensive communities. We need this type of development throughout Santa Monica so our essential workers can live close to where they work.

Fantastic stuff here from Pritzker. If you're a Democratic governor, mayor, or city council member in a high COL blue state right now and you aren't laser focused on increasing the infill housing supply, either get your shit together or resign and let someone who will do the job.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

At West Point, marble plaques honor the generals of the Revolution. The plaque for Benedict Arnold has his name covered to reflect his being a traitor. Anything that includes the name of Trump or any of his enablers (the VP, advisors, Republican members of Congress) should suffer the same fate.

We live in a banana republic. And by that I mean our President has the IQ of a banana. Every one enabling this clearly demented man should be ashamed. Trump Administration Live Updates: President Linked Greenland Push to Nobel Prize Snub in Text Message www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

It’s bad enough to think Trump invaded Venezuela for its oil. It’s worse to think it all may about getting the opposition leader to give him her Nobel Peace Prize. Our country is in so much trouble.

In California, you can now report illegal federal actions: oag.ca.gov/reportmiscon... We’re also holding federal officials accountable for their lawlessness. I passed a law to ban them from wearing ski masks. I’m now advancing legislation to let people sue them for violating people’s rights.

Democrats need to use this direction to their advantage. I hope Schumer and Jeffries are up to it.

This seems like a good time post this picture!
