Because of course you don’t think it’s “Mission Accomplished” in Caracas already, do you?

On Saturday, January 3rd the U.S.’s unprovoked attack on Venezuela cost at least 40 people their lives and led to the unwarranted, illegal kidnapping of the acting president, Nicolas Maduro. If this becomes the new norm of a new Monroe Doctrine, then no leader is safe, be they in Latin America, Africa, or the Middle East.

From Dana Williamson, who was outgoing Governor Newsom’s former Chief of Staff, to California’s own Attorney General Rob Bonta, to Oakland’s Ex-Mayor Sheng Thao, to Orange County’s Andrew Do, the last couple of weeks since the passage of Prop 50 have seen a number of corruption cases brought forward against state officials in California.

Plus, back in the Southland, a new report shows that from Pacific Palisades to Altadena, myriad officials in L.A. County absolutely failed their duty to the residents of L.A. County as wildfire tore through these communities. This was also the case even after the 2018 Woolsey fire was supposed to serve as an inflection point for L.A. County to better prepare for “natural disasters.”

Prop 50 HAS PASSED. Now, could Gavin Newsom tell us about just why California has the second highest rate of unemployment in the nation, behind only Washington D.C?
