Reading about Diane Keaton's 2000s preservation advocacy, it seems like the $4.9M LAUSD Ambassador Hotel settlement to end litigation broke the Los Angeles Conservancy's spirit. A once fierce organization grew quieter as the city was stripped for parts. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

"Our sidewalks are a mess. Our streets are a mess. Our trees aren’t trimmed. The lights are off," Councilmember Park said. "We aren’t take care of the basic infrastructure that we have. And this is going to place billions of dollars of new burdens on taxpayers.”

“But in a rare dissent from Newsom’s leadership, Los Angeles city and county officials have vehemently opposed SB79, calling it an effort to "hijack" local planning.“

Newsom approved a bill to make it easier to build more homes. Why do LA leaders oppose it?

It may boil down to power and money.

Day 9 of the Republican Shutdown, and Speaker Johnson just canceled next week's votes.

While they’re on vacation, millions of Americans are left wondering if they’ll be able to afford healthcare. I’m heading to D.C. next week to work. House Republicans should too.

Portland is not a war zone.
Chicago is not a war zone.
LA was not a war zone.
DC was not a war zone.

This weekend, the president of the United States stood in front of the United States Navy, and said that people that didn’t vote for him were “enemies from within.”
