Casey Wasserman Will Sell Agency After Epstein Files Controversy: “I Have Become a Distraction” The move comes after Wasserman faced mounting pressure from his roster after suggestive emails he sent to Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced in the Epstein Files

Just so we have this straight. The LA28 board refused to take action — but his clients and agents forced him out of his own company.

And now the taxpayers of the City of Los Angeles *WHICH HOLDS THE CONTRACT WITH LA28* are stuck with him! Great work everyone!

LA set a goal of zero traffic deaths by 2025. Reality: 290 people were killed last year The silver lining: It's the second consecutive year of decreases in traffic fatalities on L.A. city streets.

I wrote three op-eds in the LA Times in 2017-2018 aimed at getting then-Mayor Garcetti's attention on the fact that the City of LA was not on track to achieving its goal of eliminating traffic deaths by 2025. Angelenos are still dying due to our leaders' inaction laist.com/transportati...

Bari Weiss: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) YouTube video by LastWeekTonight

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.
