BREAKING: another inmate dies in the @LASDHQ jails, bringing Luna’s death toll to a record 156 on his watch - and the legacy media is silent. It’s time to end these mounting tragedies.

EXPLOSIVE BREAKING NEWS:
CORRUPT OAKLAND MAYOR SHENG THAO'S ATTORNEY FEES BEING PAID BY CHINESE FINANCIAL OPERATIVE
Gotham Oakland has just heard from sources that the CCP-connected Democratic mega-donor CC Yin is (allegedly) paying the massive legal bills for disgraced former Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's ongoing corruption trial.
CC Yin has been a shadow financial operative for the CCP for decades and is at the center of the Chinese spy ring used to corrupt former Congressman Eric Swalwell and other elected officials.
Yin is a Democratic megadonor who has donated tens of millions of dollars to Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris, and various other CA Dems. He is a known close associate of corrupt current CA Attorney General Rob Bonta and his wife Mia Bonta.
Tune in to Gotham Oakland's next episode tomorrow to hear it all.

Time is up for California
We gave California 48 hours to review and flag more than 20,000 noncitizen voters recently mailed live ballots.
California refused.
This morning we filed a federal court action seeking an emergency order requiring California to sequester ballots returned by suspected noncitizens.
This is not political or controversial. 18 U.S.C. § 611 makes it a federal offense for noncitizens to vote in a federal election. We will not allow California to dilute the votes of American citizens.

JUST IN: Trump administration sues California, asking a judge to prevent the state from counting mail-in ballots from 20,000 people the federal government says are non-citizens.

The deadliest battlefield for those who serve often begins at home.
While we honor line-of-duty deaths, a quieter attrition unfolds inside the living rooms of our police, corrections, and military veterans. Officers are three times more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty.
In a raw, powerful new piece for The Current Report, veteran commander Al Labrada draws on three decades of leadership and a heartbreaking personal reckoning to expose the unspoken toll of duty on families.

The L.A. City Council’s recent approval of $13.04 million for 107 non-patrol vehicles—with another 300 SUVs and millions in equipment upgrades looming—is a masterclass in panic-driven procurement disguised as Olympic preparation.
The "No-Cost" Myth: Tying multi-million-dollar fleet acquisitions to high-profile mega-events breaks the promise made to taxpayers, replacing long-term fiscal planning with piecemeal, debt-financed blank checks.
The Salami-Slicing Trap: Approving vehicle batches under urgent timelines without a comprehensive asset doctrine creates massive downstream liabilities in maintenance, fuel, and storage.
The Leadership Failure: Real security and operational readiness for global events are engineered years in advance through disciplined logistics, not scrambled requisitions that leave local taxpayers holding the bill.

The direct result of weak leadership and appeasement.
Michel Moore spent years entertaining a professional troll who spends his nights stalking cops and fishing for reactions. Every time this clown threw a tantrum or blew hot air, former leadership scrambled to appease him—effectively giving a megaphone to someone who should have been ignored.
Surrounding agencies and LASD showed how to handle this garbage, but Moore chose validation over backing his officers. Now, @FilmThePoliceLA claims victory and weaponizes ethics filings, while everyone else has to deal with the long-term consequences of an enabled agitator. This guy won’t even go south of the 10 frwy into south LA as they won’t listen to his BS their.

Hey @filmthepoliceLA, since you and @LAPD_Smith and BBQ guy Tabbi can’t stop talking about me 3 years later. Make sure you ask Dawn Silva about the screenshots she took off my personal phone inside my home and handed over to you and which you illegally posted.
That is unauthorized digital theft—a direct violation of California Penal Code 502(c)—on top of residential burglary 459 PC. And while you're at it, ask her friend Sgt. Jessica Bell about using those same stolen, illegal screenshots to file a fraudulent complaint to cover her own tracks after getting caught cheating with married Sergeant Nick Giordano.
You claim to expose misconduct, but you're actively running with stolen data and manufactured setups. Let's talk about the real crimes and corruption here.

The 10th Floor vs. The Field: A Masterclass in Passing the Buck
Part 3 of the 27th Street blast investigation exposes a textbook playbook in executive self-preservation. When a catastrophic, human-error-driven disaster tore through a Los Angeles neighborhood, top leadership didn't step up—they hid.
While local field captains stood in crowded town halls taking the full, volatile brunt of public fury, the decision-makers responsible for years of systemic oversight stayed insulated inside headquarters.
The Anatomy of Deflection:
Selective Absence: Top brass boycotted community forums, refusing to look displaced families in the eye.
Those responsible for overseeing and allowing the downfall deflected responsibility-ranking officials actively shifted fault onto local patrol captains to shield their own specialized bureau.
Overruling senior technicians who questioned safety limits, then forcing field staff to clean up the operational fallout.
Leadership isn't defined by how you act when things go right. It’s defined by where you stand when everything goes wrong. @cecewoodsmedia @currentreportla

In 2021, a botched LAPD bomb squad detonation destroyed a South L.A. block. But as a striking new investigation by The Current Report reveals, the physical explosion was just the beginning.
The real disaster was an institutional culture that engineered the failure:
Paper Over Practice: Data dashboards prioritized public relations metrics over real-world field competence.
Systemic Blind Spots: A bomb technician handled volatile explosives despite failing to meet training standards for five consecutive years.
The Executive Shield: While frontline officers absorbed the community's fury, top brass pivoted to blame-shifting—and were rewarded with promotions.
When metrics replace actual competency and political fealty is rewarded over operational safety, organizational collapse is inevitable.

It makes my stomach turn to even reference a deteriorating, failing so-called news organization like the LA Slime, but their latest hit piece is too ridiculous to ignore. They are notorious for their self-promoted agendas and blatant political bias, and they prove it once again by trying to ruin America's 250th birthday with toxic partisan politics.
Imagine if they actually focused on building up our communities and exposing real fraud and corruption instead of trying to tear down a historic milestone that belongs to the American people. This country turns 250 years old, and we should be celebrating our incredible history, not playing corporate media games. Turn off the manufactured outrage.

BREAKING NEWS: The jury in the Palisades Fire arson trial cannot reach a verdict (hung jury). A unanimous verdict is required and jurors have told the judge they are at an impasse. This is no surpise to us. The LAFD failed to preserve the Lachman Fire as a crime scene and never investigated its cause. The government's case hinged on character evidence and the geolocation of the suspect's cell phone. No physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire, no confession and a botched investigation. Defense introduced evidence supporting fireworks as a possible cause. Lots of room for reasonable doubt. One thing both sides agreed upon - the Palisades Fire was caused by smoldering embers left over from the Lachman Fire.

The political games being played daily to protect the same ones embezzling billions.
It feels like just yesterday when Gavin Newsom took a moment out of his State of the State address to make sure everybody knew about all the amazing work LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was doing.
So it is quite fitting that today Carvalho resigns in disgrace after the FBI raided his home and office

At our HOA meeting this week, we were talking about how @NorwalkLASD won't do anything abt loud parties, explosive fireworks, or people who threaten. Everyday families get no support from @LASDHQ @LACoSheriff. Ring & Nextdoor app say same. Maybe, @AlexVilanueva33 will do better.

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls
California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:
-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)
Full list: sos.ca.gov/elections/hava-id…
This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.
We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.
On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.
For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.
@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.
What are they afraid of?
