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

Another endangered orca, J31, has been on a ‘tour of grief,’ carrying a dead baby orca around, researchers revealed last night at Seattle’s Town Hall. The 31-year-old mom has had several miscarriages and did a similar tour in 2016. More details coming today from @whaleresearch.bsky.social. #srkw

At a campaign rally, our Outlaw Prez said of Iran: “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego,” calling it a "small price to pay" for keeping the world safe. So will suggesting the 86ing of two of America’s biggest cities spark as much GOP ire as sea shells arranged on a beach?

Run it, and we will ride. Amtrak's Borealis, running daily between St. Paul and #Chicago, has become so popular they have to make the trains longer: a fourth passenger car will be added to trains starting this week. www.startribune.com/borealis-tra...

It's not enough for Trump to start paying for his propaganda ads himself. He needs to pay restitution to the taxpayers he robbed to run the ads in the first place.
