LAPD found another way to defund the city, this time by trying to overhire officers beyond their hiring budget. The decision could cost the city $3.56 million, and the councilmembers on the Budget and Finance Committee weren't too happy about it joeyscott.xyz/lapd-projects-…



I just the Mayor doesn’t read my work or use the Controller’s liabilities data portal. Thank you to the folks who flagged this and sent the video to me.

Mayor Bass denies city’s own data on nearly $400M LAPD liability costs — Hours after LA Public Press reported the figure, Bass told a town hall the city would be “bankrupt” if the $384 million in LAPD costs were true. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/bass-l…

Jon, I was with you. You told me you didn't submit any RSVP. You probably should've?

I was not allowed into Mamdani's event (for obvious reasons) — but Al-Jazeera was standing behind me and I overheard them crowing that "we had no trouble getting in — they like us"

My favorite wrestler of all time is World Heavyweight Champion and you still couldn’t pay me to tune into this program right now. Good god man

Did Logan Paul just join The Vision?? (via @WWE)



10,000 steps later, here’s what I picked up off Sunset Blvd three days after LAPD used them on celebrating Dodgers fans.


Hey @LAPDHQ, come pickup your shit off the streets of Echo Park. Sunset Blvd is littered w/ spent munitions. - 40mm foam rounds are the blue ones. - the black one is 37mm rubber bullet comes from a baton munition (seen below). Three rounds skip off the ground and hit people.

LAPD says don't have fun!

⚠️Public Advisory⚠️ 7th St and Grand St A live DJ has set up and is playing to an audience of approx 700 people. Officers are requesting that the DJ leave the area.



New from me! The LAPD is defunding our city!

Inside LAPD’s nearly $400M settlement crisis that’s bankrupting LA. Taxpayers are covering civil rights violations and officer misconduct while basic city services face cuts—and a new audit could reveal whether LAPD is doing anything to stop the pattern. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/lapd-s…

CS gas has been deployed in the general area of Sunset and Lemoyne. Stay away from the area.


Mayor Bass and LAPD say it’s time to start gassing Angelenos.

CS gas has been authorized by the Incident Commander in the area of Sunset and Logan. Stay away from the area.



The idea of “fake journalist” to commit crimes is a fantasy. Not a single person has used it as cover to do so in the history of protests in LA. Chief Moore made the claim it has happened to my face but never provided evidence of it.

“With the nine-page memo in hand, Feldstein Soto headed to a closed session with the council Tuesday. Tempers flared when she & Chief Deputy City Atty. Denise Mills suggested that the press club’s lawyer, Carol Sobel, took on the case only to make money.” latimes.com/california/new…
