It's incredible that a Latino had to: -Get an mech. engineering degree from MIT -Be the youngest member of the LA City Council -Wrote the law that created CA's earthquake warning system -Followed VP Harris in representing CA in the Senate And only now becomes a national figure.
Alex Padilla has emerged as a national voice. The Latino community has never had a national leader because we’re so diverse. That moment may have passed. FULL SPEECH: Sen. Padilla speaks on Senate floor after removal from DHS ... https://t.co/iU8BzfmguI via @YouTube

#LosAngeles has the smoggiest air in the US & is at the forefront of the climate crisis - drought, extreme heat & wildfires. We need leaders to prioritize #climate & #cleanair, not cut them. Also, @MayorOfLA, let's get serious about reducing port pollution! @KarenBassLA
Four months after the most devastating wildfires in L.A. history, Mayor Karen Bass wants to shut down the city's climate emergency office to save $700,000. It's not hard to figure out that climate action isn't a high priority for Bass. My latest column:

Not only was Kilmar Abrego Garcia wrongfully deported, but the Trump Administration is now flouting a 9-0 Supreme Court order seeking his return, and he's starting to "joke" about deporting citizens to overseas prisons. Full article here: https://t.co/noLJsDq2yy

Most people watching the #Andor trailer: "Wow, this new season looks lit!" Those of us who were deep in the anti-Iraq War/anti-George W. Bush movements back in 2004: "HELL YEAH, STEVE EARLE!" https://t.co/1oP92FOD72

Had a meeting in #DTLA and got to ride a new @metrolosangeles subway car. Very comfortable and much quieter than the old trains. Way to go, Metro! #publictransport #PublicTransportation #transit #LosAngeles

Thanks @FOXLA for having me on last night to discuss the #airpollution from the #LosAngelesFires. The important thing is ash and debris need to be treated as hazardous materials. Protect yourself, especially if you're in the burn area or southwest of the Eaton Fire. 1/2
Incredible job by @el_chaveezy, CCA Deputy Policy Director, for appearing on Fox11 Los Angeles to give watchers some information covered on the Los Angeles Fires Webinar. Thank you for the excellent representation and for echoing useful insight on wildfire protection! Watch
