In 10 days, House Oversight's DOGE Committee will be holding a hearing in order to probe Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' handling about a billion taxpayer dollars that were funneled through the L.A. Homeless Services Authority.
DOGE Committee chair Tim Burchett had a message for Bass:
You can run but you can’t hide. https://t.co/MiYPVj50Zv

Guess what Bass is going to try to do: Hide without going anywhere.
LOS ANGELES: According to her office, Mayor Karen Bass will not travel to Washington, D.C., to testify before Congress after being called to appear over concerns about how federal homelessness funds have been spent in Los Angeles.

Her office says Bass has a scheduling conflict… pic.twitter.com/qbLoNEGNv1
"Scheduling conflict." Oh sure, sure.
Justine Bateman knows what might make Bass want to leave town that day:
Just tell her high winds are forecast in very dry conditions and her schedule will free up to travel. https://t.co/U8li26yeDh

It was a harsh but fair response to the news.
