Interesting. I see many driverless Waymos on the streets everyday in Los Angeles. I saw one on the freeway for the first time a few days ago. I haven't tried one yet.

People who experience a medical emergency while in DHS’ custody are being admitted into hospitals under fake names, preventing their families and lawyers from finding them.

We've fought back, and the courts have ruled: this sh*t is NOT legal.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

I recently visited the Spider Pavilion at the LA County Natural History Museum. It was interesting, but kind of creepy.

We’re suing the Trump Administration for its unlawful cuts to homeless housing funding — cuts that threaten to rip permanent housing support from tens of thousands of California families.

Donald Trump’s recklessness jeopardizes our housing stability.

We will stop him.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.
