I want to cut through the BS coming from MAGA media. I first heard of the possibility of this bogus search warrant from The LA Times nearly a week before Sheriff's deputies arrived at my door. 🧵 Members of the Sheriff's Dept were already leaking to the press long before last Wednesday morning. In addition, the department had no legal right to go through my texts on either my county phone or personal phone for information related to this purported "leak."

As a County Supervisor, I’ve done everything I could to bring appropriate oversight and supervision to the LA County Sheriff’s Department, a dept that has become more and more uncontrolled and troubled under the current @LACoSheriff, Alex Villanueva. 🧵 It has continued to be plagued with wrongful death and excessive force lawsuits which have to be paid for with taxpayer money, and has run up a ballooning deficit. Current law gives the Supervisors limited legal authority over the Sheriff.

Zelda still loves Dobie.
I am so deeply saddened at the news that my dear friend over a 62-year span, and Many Loves of Dobie Gillis co-star, Dwayne Hickman, passed away this morning from complications of Parkinson's disease. 1/4 It was such a joy and a privilege working with Dwayne, a true professional, a good man, a fine talent, a generous actor (always playing the straight man and giving us the laugh lines), and still one of the funniest and people I've ever known. 2/4
