Opening a Family Justice Center here in Thousand Oaks is important and welcome news for the safety of residents here and throughout eastern Ventura County.

A Family Justice Center provides a safe space for the victims of domestic violence, elder and child abuse, human trafficking, and hate crimes. It not only provides safety but also saves victims from having to travel back and forth to Ventura multiple times to seek justice.

The City of Thousand Oaks is a proud partner with the Ventura County District Attorney's Office in establishing this first Family Justice Center in the east county.

I'm also grateful to California Lutheran University, which will host the center and for the work of the Ventura County Family Justice Center Foundation in supporting victims.

Ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents is Job One in local government. While crime overall is down, domestic violence in particular remains a stubborn blight that persists across all socioeconomic lines.

This center helps address that. This helps make residents safer.

…the Federal Judicial Center (#FJC) is removing the chapter on climate science from its "reference manual" advising federal judges on scientific issues. The removal was recommended by 27 #Republican attorneys general.

PS: The FJC manual is prepared with the National Academies of Science (#NAS). But I can't tell whether NAS acquiesced in this move. Does anyone know?

Thanks to RealClimate.org for posting the deleted 91-page chapter on climate science.

EDIT. I meant to update this post with the NAS decision, but inadvertently made it a separate post rather than a reply in the same thread. Here it is (March 18, 2026).
