President Trump babbles endlessly about increasing public safety, while all the while forcing organizations that serve victims of crime to meet impossible conditions or shut their doors. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

We’re suing the Trump Administration for placing illegal immigration conditions on funding for public safety and victim services organizations.

Another government shutdown caused by Trump. Thanks to his Administration and Congressional Republicans, Americans can look forward to everyday services in disarray and no funding for critical federal programs. Once again, Trump is choosing his ego over the American people.

So very excited to share that I’ll be writing about housing in Los Angeles and across California for Politico www.politico.com/blogs/politi...

“In Culver City, McCourt Partners has recently joined with Lincoln Property Co. to take over and redesign a proposed apartment complex on Jefferson Boulevard. Lang hopes to start work on the project next year, pending the return of institutional investors.”

BREAKING: We won Trump lost Yesterday, we filed this case Today, we won a court order blocking Trump’s unlawful conduct Another “W” for California, the rule of law, & public safety Another “L” for Trump & his anti-public safety agenda

California, other states again sue Trump administration for tying aid to immigration laws www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

There’s sort of no excuse for the rail electrification being such a sleeper issue given the incredible success of CalTrain. sf.streetsblog.org/2025/07/31/c...

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and allowing their personal, private data to be fed into the President’s mass surveillance database. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

NEWS: We’ve secured a court order protecting CA’s funding to help run the food stamp program. Vital program funding will continue as we argue against Trump’s illegal attempt to force CA to turn over private data about SNAP recipients.

That’d be The Doors.

Great news for #CulverCity. This will be our first significant north-south protected bike infrastructure. (There’s also nice, but short, bike/bus infrastructure going in on Robertson between the Metro bike hub and the Move Culver City improvements on Washington. la.streetsblog.org/2025/09/17/m...

In California, more than 15 million people identify as Latino. That’s not just a statistic. That’s the heart of who we are. California will only succeed if our Latino community succeeds. Happy #LatinoHeritageMonth!

Reshuffled the ol’ tsundoku today, so next up . . .

#YIMBYTown? Call me when it’s YIMBY City. (JK, have fun, and check out SB 808. calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202...)

I don’t know about this. What I like about Bluesky is that I can curate my feed to be much more relevant to my interests here than on “X the everything app.” So I’m here, and if people are contributing things that are relevant to me there but not here, I guess I’ll encounter those ideas . . .

We’ve secured another court victory protecting funding for libraries, museums, small business development, and more across the country.

"I think the consensus that #science was a route to national #well-being and #prosperity was widely shared by people across the political spectrum until very recently. It’s only been the past few years that we’ve seen a rising lack of trust in #scientists." 🧪

We win Huntington Beach loses Again Yet another court decision rejecting Huntington Beach’s lawbreaking, tax payer wasting, NIMBY actions As required by law, all cities must produce more housing to address the current crisis No exceptions & no excuses

NEW: @governor.ca.gov, @california-hcd.bsky.social, and I have secured a unanimous appellate decision holding, once again, that Huntington Beach cannot violate Housing Element Law.   No city is exempt from state housing laws.

Huntington Beach is running out of excuses, and the consequences for failing to plan for its fair share of housing are becoming clearer and more serious. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

California housing Sky rn.

Californians can find legal help at low or no cost with a legal aid organization at www.lawhelpca.org.

Californians: Before writing a big check and hiring someone offering to help with immigration matters, I urge you take a second to learn how to spot immigration scams. Familiarize yourself with existing resources at little to no cost. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

NOT NOW LA TIMES

We’ve secured another win for CA & delivered another loss to law breaking Trump With today’s court order, we blocked Trump’s unlawful attacks on soup kitchens, preschools, & shelters serving our most vulnerable We’ve won 20 of 22 orders on our requests for emergency relief—over 90% of the time

I absolutely love working with this team. Intelligence, expertise, and passion, all focused on one of California’s most important problems.

Happy Birthday, California.   Here’s to 175 years of always setting the pace.

When your state’s capitol does this, it means the whole state is about to level up.

Where else would I be on California’s 175th birthday?

a lot of opportunity out there for anyone who lacks scruples and doesn’t believe in anything

Yes, many things are deeply f’ed up right now. BUT @metrolosangeles.bsky.social has managed to get cellular data working all the way through the Regional Connector.

We’re suing the LA County Sheriff’s Dept over inhumane conditions at county jails. LA operates the largest jail system in the U.S. We won’t let LA County continue to ignore its responsibility to protect the health and safety of those under its care. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Silver Lake

Visit before November 2, because Citizen Market (one of Culver City’s gems) is closing.

As President Trump attempts to deploy more military to blue cities across the nation, remember, no one is above the law.    Trump is not king, and we’ll continue to fight against his admin’s unlawful abuses of power.    More from @msnbc.com:

We are more than willing to work with any city or county that wants to do its part to solve our housing crisis. By that same token, if any city or county wants to test our resolve, today’s settlement is your answer. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Last year, Governor Gavin Newsom, and California Department of Housing and Community Development, and I sued the City of Norwalk over its unlawful housing ban. Today, we are announcing a settlement that holds the City accountable.

The Trump Admin ordered CA’s national guard to be federalized and deployed for an additional 90 days.   We’re asking the court to block this new deployment order & return control to Governor Newsom.   The initial deployment of these troops was unjustified – deployment for an extra 90 days is absurd.

We’re supporting a challenge to the Trump Admin’s executive order that strips workers across many federal agencies of their collective bargaining rights.   At CA DOJ, we remain unwavering in our commitment to protect the rights of working Americans across this country.

We secured a major victory in our case against President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s unlawful deployment of federalized National Guard and Marines in Southern California. With today’s decision, Trump is blocked from using the National Guard and Marines for civilian law enforcement.

scully: mulder you can't seriously believe in this mulder: I'm telling you, glonzo is more than just stories.

What’s interesting about this to me is that I haven’t cut off a single Trump supporting friend. But they have largely disengaged or shrunk away from me. (I am opinionated and enjoy talking to, or maybe at, people who disagree with me.)

Approps Day Valentine — Don’t leave my heart in suspense!

Happy (?) Appropriations Day to all Californians who celebrate (?) !!!

I’m proud to join a multistate coalition in supporting Colorado’s law that bans conversion therapy on minors.   The case is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court.   Conversion therapy doesn’t work, it’s harmful to our youth, and it’s fundamentally wrong.
