Another bill signed! ✍️🎉 AB 2436 is officially law! This legislation makes permanent in-state tuition eligibility for qualifying team USA student-athletes training in California, helping athletes pursue their education while competing at the highest level. As we prepare for LA28, I’m proud to support Team USA athletes and help build a lasting legacy that extends far beyond the Games.🌟

@t.m.o.m_818 🚨 L.A. HOUSING CONTROVERSY: Mayor Karen Bass’s latest nominee for the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) is facing massive public backlash.Here is what you need to know about the battle over who controls L.A.’s public housing:👤 The Nominee: Daniel Tenenbaum, a prominent real estate executive who manages over 1,300 apartment units and previously served on the HACLA board from 2016 to 2023.⚖️ The Conflict: Tenenbaum is a long-standing board member of the California Apartment Association (CAA)—one of the state’s most powerful corporate landlord lobbying groups. The CAA has aggressively fought against local rent control, eviction protections, and tenant-rights measures.📢 The Backlash: Tenant advocacy groups (like SAJE and Ground Game LA) are furious. They argue that putting a landlord lobbyist in charge of a $1B budget meant to protect public housing and Section 8 renters is a direct conflict of interest.🛑 What’s Happening Now: Mayor Bass tried to fast-track his appointment, but after an outcry from the community, the L.A. City Council voted unanimously to block the fast-track. The nomination has been sent to the Housing Committee for a full, heavily scrutinized public hearing.
