Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

Survivors need justice & closure. A thorough investigation into the people mentioned in the #TrumpEpsteinFiles must occur swiftly. Appropriate consequences MUST be handed to all perpetrators.

As of his last legal defense fund filing, Lee was in debt 10k to his own committee, had about 100k in legal debts and now owes 138k to the general fund of the city. So he’s in the hole to the tune of a quarter million. Be ethical guys. It’s that’s easy.

Tim Gaspar spoke favorably of a council office's power to use LAMC 41.18 and bragged that Blumenfield wrote it. He compared CD3 with districts in the northeast Valley, how those council offices don't apply 41.18, and so there're more encampments in those areas.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
