As Mayor, I have a responsibility to ensure city government is making life better for all Angelenos, especially those whose past hard work laid the foundation for the city we enjoy today. Whether someone is born here, or comes here for college, career, or retirement, I want L.A. to be a place that welcomes all generations.

President Trump: we have to press pause on politics, confront the homelessness crisis, and save lives now, i wanted to talk to him a little bit as if he had come down here to South LA to understand and to hear the challenges we face and ways that Washington, D.C. instead of demonizing us might be able to actually come and help us.

There will never be another like Jonathan Gold, who will forever be our brilliant, indispensable guide through the culinary paradise that is Los Angeles, jonathan earned worldwide acclaim as a food critic, but he possessed the soul of a poet whose words helped readers everywhere understand the history and culture of our city. His passing is a loss for all who share his love for L.A. and unique understanding of how food -- whether served from a truck window or atop a white tablecloth -- is an incomparable expression of our common humanity.

We've got somebody who is playing with our lives in the White House — who doesn't care what the price of soybeans are ; who doesn't care if that steel is more expensive for our carpenters, he's disconnected and he's divisive. We, on the other hand, are people who care.

Ninety-five percent of my work is being mayor, but that 5 % that nags at all of us — of what's going wrong in this country — I think is best thought out not in your own head, but by getting out there, being out there, and listening to Americans.
