LA Mayor Karen Bass faces intense criticism for cutting the fire department's budget by $17.6 million, just months before the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire. Critics argue that Bass’ decision to allocate nearly double the amount for homelessness, while leaving vital firefighting resources underfunded, exacerbated the city’s crisis. With destructive wildfires raging across the city, the mayor's leadership is under scrutiny, especially after reports of dry fire hydrants and her absence in the midst of the disaster, as she was attending a taxpayer-funded trip in Africa.

As wildfires ravage the Pacific Palisades, LA fire crews run out of water due to years of mismanagement and underfunding. The city's water system struggles to keep up with the massive demand, resulting in devastating losses. Multiple blazes in LA County, fueled by hurricane-force winds, have destroyed over 1,000 homes. The fire spread to 16,000 acres by Wednesday night. Residents express outrage over the city’s failure to adequately prepare, while Mayor Karen Bass faces criticism for being on vacation during the crisis.

After the devastating LA wildfires, homeowners like Louise Hamlin and Chris Wilson face starkly different rebuilding realities. Hamlin, covered by Mercury Insurance, quickly received payouts, while Wilson, stuck with California's FAIR Plan, struggles with minimal coverage and bureaucratic delays. With major insurers exiting high-risk zones, thousands are left in limbo. Experts warn of an “uninsurable future” as climate change intensifies disasters.

In a tense and dramatic Senate hearing, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) clashed with FBI Director nominee Kash Patel over his alleged ties to individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol riot. Schiff forcefully demanded that Patel turn around and face the Capitol Police officers present in the room, accusing him of profiting off those who assaulted their colleagues.
Patel, refusing to look away from Schiff, responded, "I'm looking at you. You're talking to me." The fiery exchange underscored deep divisions over Patel’s nomination, with Schiff pressing him on his fundraising efforts linked to Jan. 6 defendants
