Vin Scully's passing is the end of a chapter of our city's history. He united us, inspired us, and showed us all what it means to serve. Our City Hall will be lit up for you tomorrow Vin, our dear friend, the Voice of LA. Thank you from a grateful and loving city. #vinscully

I mourn the passing of #DesmondTutu who fought for a world of justice and love. Amy and I had the great joy of spending time with him on three continents in S Africa, the UK, and in Los Angeles in 2005. His laugh, his love, his leadership changed us and changed the world forever.

I mourn the passing of my friend Mark Peel, who embodied LA's belief in breaking boundaries and barriers. His absence is a huge loss for our city:

It probably works out to Biden getting 52-ish percent of the popular vote on a turnout of 155 million-ish votes, which would be around 80 million. Trump might get say 73-75 million. Likely the top two popular vote totals in US history, both surpassing Obama '08.

Biden would be only the 4th challenger in 100 years to defeat an incumbent president seeking a second elected term. If he succeeds, he will join a group of uniquely talented politicians: FDR, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Don't discount what he (appears to) have pulled off.
