The Pacific Palisades wildfire continues to wreak havoc in Los Angeles County, with thousands of homes destroyed and residents forced to evacuate. Amid the disaster, a political blame game has erupted between President-elect Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump criticized Newsom for his handling of the crisis, accusing the Democratic governor of being responsible for the wildfires and failing to address water management issues that could have helped contain the flames. In response, Newsom urged an investigation into the water pressure problems impacting fire hydrants in the affected areas.

Bernie Sanders has sharply criticized Elon Musk for his defense of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for skilled positions. Sanders argues that the program helps replace well-paying American jobs with cheaper labor from abroad, benefiting billionaires like Musk. The senator calls for an end to the program to ensure that U.S. workers are prioritized and that corporations no longer rely on cheaper foreign labor. This ongoing debate highlights the clash between immigration policy, corporate interests, and American workers' rights.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires. This chemical barrier prevents flames from spreading by coating vegetation and flammable surfaces, cutting off oxygen. While effective, environmental experts raise concerns over its impact on ecosystems and human health. Phos-Chek, though highly useful, has led to pollution, wildlife harm, and legal disputes. Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate.
