This is a great story. And good perspective. To call someone a mayor who represents such a large city is almost lacking in description of what the job entails. But nice recovery on the part of Mayer Bass after the fires.
She's right again - "I think that women are much more collaborative; men are much more competitive.....It's so much easier to throw rocks than it is to govern." -Mayor Karen Bass
Dear Jenn, thank you for giving us a positive story about a real American leader Mayor Karen Bass. Her courage, decisiveness and defense of immigrants and all citizens of LA is impressive. She’s representing her constituents, whether documented or undocumented. We need more leaders like her. Keep up the good work, Jenn.I will share your story.
She rose to the occasion and became more than she was before... unlike our Orange Enfant Terrible whose first response to any tragedy is to declare "Nobody has ever seen such a thing" and then gone about applying his infinite supply of grievances and spite.
Trump is a hollow shell of a man, completely devoid of love, compassion, understanding or empathy. He only "cares" for those who serve his corruption, prurient, or vengeful purposes. He is sad, weak, and very confused in his cruel belief that instilling fear and initiating violence show strength. He is, in sum, a man terrified of humanity, and of his own mortality.
Thank you Mayor Karen Bass! And thank you Jen for posting such a wonderful story. It is so nice to hear about the hardworking and dedicated good leaders in our country. Hope to see more stories like this, especially about Democrats running for upcoming elections!
Jen, I am so glad that you chose to spotlight LA mayor Karen Bass today. I cannot begin to imagine the stamina it must take to be the leader of America's second city. On top of all of her primary responsibilities, she has had to deal with the distraction of invading hordes of ICE goons and their lawless marauding as well as Drumpf federalizing the CA National Guard (half have been released as of this writing). She has shown grace under intense pressure and is deserving of this recognition.
Mayor Bass has shown her courage and tenacity throughout this renegade regime’s rein of terror on her city and residence. I have nothing but praise for what she and her city has endured these past few months. Please stay strong Mayor Bass, and know that you have support from many of us throughout our country! God bless you and your city!
Thank you Jen for honoring Major Karen Bass. She truly is doing a remarkable job in this difficult position as mayor of such a large, diverse city encountering so many different challenges. She is so deserving of the attention you gave her here. I am proud to say that she is my mayor and we are so incredibly fortunate to have her. She definitely is one of my heroes.
What a wonderful summary and tribute to Mayor Bass, who has had numerous problems to deal with, and who has provided able leadership. Thank you, Jen, for providing such an outstanding summary.

You're right. It's more like being the Governor of a small State.

Amen to that. I am not as disheartened as I was right after the fires. And being mayor of L.A. is huge.
Los Angeles is 15+ times larger in population than some states.
We honor you, Honorable Karen Bass
She deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Thank you, Mayor Bass. You are my hero for standing up to the cruel, miserable, lawbreaking, unqualified excuse for a president.
Thank you, Jen, for highlighting Mayor Bass. Running a large city such as LA is akin to running most countries as well as our own!

I honer the Mayor Bass and Gaven Newsom and California and I live in New City.
Thanks for this, a hopeful note. A brave woman.
Two brave women - Mayor Bass, and Jen for tirelessly speaking out.
Uplifting news to read about a leader who is courageously resisting the malevolent destruction of the administration

We should all be a courageous as Mayor Bass.
