Two cops sleeping on duty. Probably getting overtime. A reminder the LAPD gets 47% of our discretionary budget while we have defunded other city services.

We cut these services to *increase* the LAPD by $100M: Public Works -$8.2M General Services -$14.2M Sanitation -$15.1M Street Services-$21.4M This is a 5 block walk in Hollywood. We have defunded our city to *increase* police funding, and this is the result:

7:50 AM: The suspect was already in custody with a dozen cops inside the 7-Eleven. Yet cops kept showing up. I counted 12 cop cars and at least 20 cops. Yet the LAPD argues they are understaffed and need money (even as they get half of our discretionary budget).

Do you think the City will be in another budget deficit this fiscal year? 🤔 With the start of fiscal year, we are tracking to see if the City is going to be in a third year of consecutive budget deficits. With city departments & services getting cut, let's see what happens.

If Rachel Reeves hikes fuel duty, Reform will reverse it in our first budget. We have the backs of motorists 👊

Last year, my administration held the line against austerity and proposed a budget built on structural, progressive revenue that called on the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes. Corporate-aligned members of City Council chose a different path and adopted their so-called "Alternative Budget." We warned several of their regressive revenue sources would likely not perform. We were right. To date, those revenue proposals have generated zero dollars, and now our 2026 budget faces the risk of a $130 million shortfall, threatening the City services Chicagoans rely on.

A deal is in place. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a $125.8 billion budget agreement with the City Council that boosts spending on key city services while increasing savings. “We have worked together to usher in a new era of fiscal health for our city, one that is sustainable, one that is durable and one that makes needed investments in a safer, more affordable New York,” he said.

Today, City Hall announced that we are facing a growing and unprecedented budget deficit. San Franciscans voted for accountability and change from the unsustainable status quo at City Hall. The budget deficit is a crisis that we must face head-on, and it will require us to make difficult decisions. We can’t simply cut our way out of this nor can we balance the budget on the backs of working people. We need to stop spending more than we can afford while prioritizing investments that are critical to a full economic recovery and the maintenance of essential services. Beyond living within our means, fostering a diverse and growing economy is critical to eliminating chronic budget deficits. This moment requires all of us to work together to advance the best interests of San Franciscans.

Los Angeles only uses 12 out of our 28 pothole repair trucks. Why? We can’t pay for the drivers. City Hall signed contracts we knew we couldn’t afford, which resulted in a budget deficit, forcing us to make cuts to city services.

Two female LAPD officers roll up on a guy with his bike next to a black SUV in Los Angeles. The passenger gets out to approach him while the driver tries to exit and accidentally sends the patrol car rolling backward. Two female cops fumbling basic procedure. How does this even happen?

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.

Today on #NationalPoliceMemorialDay we remember our officers and colleagues who have been killed or died on duty while serving their communities. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those we have lost. 🕊️ 💙

LA City Council just passed a budget that throws hundreds of millions down the black hole of homelessness while cutting funding to LAPD. TraciParkforLA is absolutely marvelous here. One of the last hopes for LA's future.

While the Irish Government is set to have a budget surplus of €16 billion next year, London is cutting services to our children. Our people’s interests would be better serviced in a new, united Ireland. The SDLP

I am of two minds. Either the DOJ won’t release all of the files, we will probably never get to see what 1000 FBI agents removed. The other is what she is suggesting, that he will veto it. We have to make sure either way we 25th 47.
