It's honestly comical to watch Bass' campaign try to blow this story up when Bass clearly had a longstanding, very cordial relationship with Jacobs and thought there was nothing wrong with being seen together even after he was "credibly accused of sexual harassment" all the way back in 2020

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, October 6, 2026

ICYMI: Photos With Rick Jacobs The Raman Campaign
Doesn't Want You to See Photos with Raman and Sex Harasser Rick Jacobs Were
Mysteriously Deleted From Her Campaign Website LOS ANGELES — Nithya Raman's campaign quietly removed photos of Raman and Rick Jacobs, a former City Hall staffer who has been credibly accused of sexual harassment, according to reporting_by_LA Material. Jacobs cost taxpayers $1.8 million when the city settled
an LAPD officer's sexual harassment lawsuit against Jacobs. "Nithya Raman is a hypocrite. She worked at Time's Up, an organization dedicated to
addressing sexual harassment, and in 2020 called the allegations against Rick Jacobs 'deeply upsetting,'" said Bass campaign spokesperson Alex Stack. "But now that Jacobs's client has poured $3 million into supporting her mayoral campaign, Raman is more than happy to cozy up to someone with a deeply disturbing history. Her values are clearly up for
sale, and she doesn't have the character or moral judgment to be mayor."Tomo
@tomoki_chien
O... In case you need a reminder of the (hilarious) absurdity of politics: After the Bass campaign flamed Raman for being "happy to cozy up" to Jacobs following our story this morning, somebody sent me this photo of Bass
and Jacobs, apparently from 2022.lamaterialnews But at an event back in
November (before Raman had jumped in the race), Bass herself
warmly greeted Jacobs.— GETTY HOUSE GUEST: Political consultant Rick Jacobs attended an exclusive post-inauguration party for Bass at Getty House Sunday night, according to several sources, rankling those who’ve watched the harassment allegations against Jacobs engulf City Hall.

Jacobs works as a consultant for the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, a union that was heavily involved in supporting Bass’ mayoral campaign. The allegations against Jacobs have stalled former Mayor Eric Garcetti‘s political career, with the U.S. Senate still not having voted on his July 2021 nomination as U.S. Ambassador to India. Jacobs has denied harassing anyone.

Jacobs didn’t respond to a request for comment. When asked by a reporter about Jacobs’ attendance, Bass did not directly respond, saying she was focused on homelessness.

Garcetti didn’t attend the Getty House party and had already moved out of the house by Sunday, said his representative Alex Comisar.

A welcome note from hosts on a pink post it note on a counter reads “welcome! Keychain whistles of MN Flag for both of you. Text or call with ?s”
Two 3D printed whistles with the pattern of the Minnesota state flag sit next to the note on the counter top.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The desperation is palpable
Mohammed El-Sayed is a terrible Candidate for the Dumocrats. While his opponent, Mike Rogers, is an extremely good one, Mohammed goes back to the days of the Jihad. He is a RADICAL Extremist, Terrorist Sympathizer, and no different from his best friend, America Hating Hasan Piker. How’s France doing? Mohammed’s Values are not exactly those of Michiganders, or those of our Great United States of America! He is WRONG for Michigan, and WRONG for America. VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS — HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade
