Trump sent Vance there twice. He threatened to cut off all federal spending to the state. He vowed to back primary challengers of any Republican who voted against him here. He posted their names online, prompting his fans to send them death threats.
But all that failed, so now he wasn't involved.

With 7 months left to go in the fiscal year, the City of LA has already spent $90 MILLION or 48% of it's annual liability budget.
At this rate, the City will surpass $200 million in liability payouts (like last two fiscal years). It's a BIG REASON why the City is in bad $ shape.

different periods of our recent history. And most of the people here, 1 had known them for a third of my life, and the way that only my brother knows what it was to live in our childhood home, to be of our fam-ily, only these people, the witnesses and the officials and the reporters, knew what it was to be in the eye of the distortion field as it swept from Manhattan across the country.
Time folded, stretched, turned. I turned on the heel of my pink Gucci stilettos from where I was standing, outside the facade of the Gucci store in the atrium, to face the fabled golden escalator. In my mind the stilettos morphed into the black Prada stilettos I had been wearing the day when I first stepped onto the marble here. I could remember it clearly, what the sun looked like outside, how it shone on the buttons on the uniforms of the doormen. I wore a white angora sweater and I could remember how it felt warm to the touch when I entered the building, because it had been unseasonably warm that day. It was freezing in the lobby, then as now.
That morning, I had met one of the president's aides in the café downstairs. We talked for a long while. She would become over time a close friend. The equivalent, in some ways, to my brother in my childhood home. A vital witness against whose judgment I checked my own perceptions and experiences in my capacity as another American citizen bearing close witness to events, and in my official role as witness, drafting one of the early records of what went on here and later in Wash-ington. That day, she told me that if I stuck around, the candidate would meet with me. It was almost noon by that point, and she said he was still upstairs in his penthouse apartment, but he would come down to his office sometime soon to begin his workday, and he would meet with me then. Quickly and self-consciously and unprompted she offered a

It’s a necessity in order to actually describe many of the worst things that the administration is doing because the logical or only remedy for so many of them is impeachment. Probably part of why so many members of Congress have trouble speaking authentically about current political realities
