Carl Higbie explains why cutting IRS offices is necessary.

The LASD Employee Therapy Support K-9’s 🐕🦮 (Acacia and Charger), along with their handlers,made an appearance at the Hall of Justice today to celebrate Acacia’s birthday. Not only did the dogs indulge in some yummy doggy-friendly birthday cake, but they also provided a little break and some support to the hard-working personnel at the Hall.

We want to thank the Undersheriff’s Office for coordinating the event.    

Acacia and Charger are part of Blue Line Dogs therapy dogs for First Responders. 🐾💙

UPDATE: Former LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley is officially appealing her demotion.

She’d need 10 members of the L.A. City Council to agree with her appeal.

If they do, it would go back to L.A. Mayor Karen Bass to reconsider.

Ultimately, it is still Bass’ decision.

On Tuesday night, first responders from across Virginia and the seven cities, gathered at the Fourth Precinct for a private candlelight vigil to honor the lives of VBPD officers Cameron Girvin and Christopher Reese.

Standing shoulder to shoulder in a sea of candlelight, we were reminded of the light both Cameron and Christopher shared in life with those who had the honor of knowing them and serving alongside them.

We are grateful for our first responder family who is feeling this loss deeply. The unwavering support we have felt is immeasurable.

BREAKING! Forty years after DEA agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena was murdered in Mexico, Rafael Caro Quintero is finally facing justice in the United States.

The former leader of the Guadalajara Cartel landed in New York, where he will stand trial and spend the rest of his days in a cold, distant prison, far from his country and family. His extradition marks the culmination of a decades-long pursuit of justice.

In 2023, USOPM took out a $6M loan (Technology Modernization Fund) to convert the http://opm.gov website to a new platform. After spending $5M, it is nowhere near complete and, if it was finished, would cost $400k/year to host (current OPM website hosting cost is <$1k/year).  OPM has cancelled the project and will give back the remaining funds.
