Well, one from La says read my message. These items come in so quickly that it's hard for me to find them but let me be okay. I found it, Owen. The LA City Council scandals are exploding more and more every day. for those unfamiliar with the meeting we're all this racist anti-semitic and classes garbage was said was a planning meeting for the redistricting of city council districts. they essentially violated the Voting Rights Act in the most brazing way possible. Now there's going to be a massive lawsuit that could cause the city hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions. However, leftist Council people are absolutely using this to their advantage and getting some huge gains for Working Class People. they're going to add more seats to the council which is already under-represented than that which already has under-representation of POC working-class districts. and that would be huge for addressing homelessness and police in La. that is really exciting. So I mean it looks good. but I feel like there's so much to be determined with Fallout that it just happens kind of in real-time. The fact that the White House basically said they should all resign means I think it's a matter of time. They've got to resign but sometimes Bradley's worked in City politics here in New York these people it's it they get they're incredibly entrenched and they cling to power because maybe the spotlight is just it's a different shade of light.
