I think it's actually good for a campaign to say, no we don't want him in our photos — this guy has a problem with photos! — but can they say no to the Carpenters? Here's newer reporting by @tomdreisbach.bsky.social including video depositions that will help you understand the dynamics at stake

Did a powerful Democrat lie about #MeToo allegations to save his career?

Former LA Mayor Eric Garcetti denies he knew about a top adviser's alleged abuse at City Hall. An NPR investigation raises new questions about whether the now U.S. ambassador to India lied under oath.

It's honestly comical to watch Bass' campaign try to blow this story up when Bass clearly had a longstanding, very cordial relationship with Jacobs and thought there was nothing wrong with being seen together even after he was "credibly accused of sexual harassment" all the way back in 2020

KAREN BASS * FOR MAYOR *- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, October 6, 2026 Contact: press@karenbass.com ICYMI: Photos With Rick Jacobs The Raman Campaign Doesn't Want You to See Photos with Raman and Sex Harasser Rick Jacobs Were Mysteriously Deleted From Her Campaign Website LOS ANGELES — Nithya Raman's campaign quietly removed photos of Raman and Rick Jacobs, a former City Hall staffer who has been credibly accused of sexual harassment, according to reporting_by_LA Material. Jacobs cost taxpayers $1.8 million when the city settled an LAPD officer's sexual harassment lawsuit against Jacobs. "Nithya Raman is a hypocrite. She worked at Time's Up, an organization dedicated to addressing sexual harassment, and in 2020 called the allegations against Rick Jacobs 'deeply upsetting,'" said Bass campaign spokesperson Alex Stack. "But now that Jacobs's client has poured $3 million into supporting her mayoral campaign, Raman is more than happy to cozy up to someone with a deeply disturbing history. Her values are clearly up for sale, and she doesn't have the character or moral judgment to be mayor."Tomo @tomoki_chien O... In case you need a reminder of the (hilarious) absurdity of politics: After the Bass campaign flamed Raman for being "happy to cozy up" to Jacobs following our story this morning, somebody sent me this photo of Bass and Jacobs, apparently from 2022.lamaterialnews But at an event back in November (before Raman had jumped in the race), Bass herself warmly greeted Jacobs.— GETTY HOUSE GUEST: Political consultant Rick Jacobs attended an exclusive post-inauguration party for Bass at Getty House Sunday night, according to several sources, rankling those who’ve watched the harassment allegations against Jacobs engulf City Hall. Jacobs works as a consultant for the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, a union that was heavily involved in supporting Bass’ mayoral campaign. The allegations against Jacobs have stalled former Mayor Eric Garcetti‘s political career, with the U.S. Senate still not having voted on his July 2021 nomination as U.S. Ambassador to India. Jacobs has denied harassing anyone. Jacobs didn’t respond to a request for comment. When asked by a reporter about Jacobs’ attendance, Bass did not directly respond, saying she was focused on homelessness. Garcetti didn’t attend the Getty House party and had already moved out of the house by Sunday, said his representative Alex Comisar.

The most charitable reading of Garcetti's new role is that our former mayor who forged LA's Olympics deal is now going to make sure a lot of people profit from the surveillance state he personally imposed upon the city

BREAKING: The Trump administration tried to falsely declare 2.7 million people as dead in Social Security records in order to upend their lives. Our client, whistleblower Jeremiah Schofield, spoke with the Washington Post about his explosive new revelations.

Trump officials planned to mark 2.7 million living people as dead, whistleblower says

A former Social Security executive said the plan, which was not carried out, would have used a death database to pressure immigrants to leave the country.

It is pretty hard to get 'cancelled' due to sexual misconduct if you are a powerful man even in San Francisco. Of 70 men who faced public allegations (2010 - 2026), 76% are professionally active, 41% in the same or an elevated role. Only 2 in prison. sfstandard.com/2026/04/20/7...

70 powerful Bay Area men were accused of sexual misconduct. What happened next?

Since 2010, scores of prominent local men have faced allegations ranging from sexual harassment to rape. Most have returned to the highest echelons of public life.

As a former whistleblower, I know the #Swalwell playbook all too well. How did it go on so long? At @ms.now I write that the culture in both parties too often enables powerful predators while cowing those around them into silence. That must change. www.ms.now/opinion/eric...

Opinion | Eric Swalwell resigned. But Congress' troubling culture remains.

Both parties foster a culture that too often has enabled predators in positions of power while cowing those around them into silence.

Correct. @wbaidlaw.bsky.social counsel will brief Congress next week if @odnigov.bsky.social fails to provide security guidance for our whistleblower client to go to the Intel committees. Director Gabbard must follow the law. This isn't political football -- our national security is on the line.

When a whistleblower’s lawyer gives you a deadline and cites the statute, that is not posturing. That is the last stop before Congress. And they just pulled the trigger.
