Awesome choice by the Nobel Prize Committee that reflects moral clarity. Watch how the US government will now sanction this world jurist.

Good job governor, but if you want to take credit for lower homicides, then you have to take responsibility for the explosive rate increase in financial crimes and frauds.
Rep Jimmy Gomez has brought shame to his district and should immediately resign.
A woman has told the House Ethics Committee that Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez sexually harassed and assaulted her, her attorneys said in a statement. cnn.it/3SdJQr5
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!
Today I voted NO on another countywide sales tax. @CountyofLA already has the highest sales #tax of any major metropolis & raising everyday costs without real accountability isn't responsible fiscal policy. Read my full statement on why I opposed backfilling #federal funding cuts on the backs of our local taxpayers: kathrynbarger.lacounty.gov/n…
What a scumbag. Getting paid to provide healthy meals to the homeless but only providing cup o noodle and breakfast bars, supporting his lavish lifestyle with funds intended for homeless.
Alexander Soofer, 42, of Westwood, the executive director of the charity Abundant Blessings, was arrested this morning on a federal criminal complaint charging him with wire fraud -- a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.
Soofer is accused of lining his pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars intended to combat the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. Instead, he allegedly used the money to purchase a $7 million home, took luxury trips across the United States, and paid for his children's private school tuition, among other luxury items.
He will make his initial appearance in federal court this afternoon. Mr. Soofer is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
For too long, California has left the spigot of taxpayer dollars on and has not provided anywhere near enough oversight of how the money is being spent.
Thankfully, the federal government is stepping in to enforce the law. We are demanding accountability -- something the state's leaders for years have failed to do.
This is the third significant arrest from our Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force -- and we're just getting started.

Undergrounding saves lives. That's why l'm filing a formal complaint with the CPUC — our communities don't deserve half-solutions, and we can't wait for the next tragedy to fix this.

This is the incitement that people should be condemning today. It’s not coming from some random part of the internet, it’s coming from the deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament.
💥#New: Nissim Vaturi, deputy Knesset Speaker for the ruling @Likud_Party, is calling for women and children to be separated off on Gaza and for the men to be 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆.
No wonder he wants to close the Department of Education.

It should come at no surprise that #insurance companies are reportedly bullying victims of the #LosAngelesFires and adding insult to injuries.
The state and regional leaders have failed to address the #insuranceCrisis for several years, leaving homeowners to fend on their own.
The lake of available Fire and general liability insurance for dwelling units and rentals in Cali is a crisis. Should be addressed in any solution to combat #homelessness.
Downy residents can claim smoke damage from a fire in Malibu, consequently ins co pull out of Cali.
If a gas station had the same gasoline price for self service or full service, why pump the gas yourself?
Same applies to self checkout at grocery stores. No discount for self checkout. That’s why I always go to a human for checkout.
Keeping people employed !
Sick and tired of thugs in Los Angeles stealing copper wiring, taking over streets, illegal fireworks, vandalizing metro busses, etc.
So much for hosting the #olympics2028
