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.
Wildfires in Los Angeles have burned 40,000 acres, displacing tens of thousands of residents. With 92,000 under evacuation orders, many are seeking shelter elsewhere. The fires have caused fatalities, and strong Santa Ana winds threaten to worsen the situation. LA officials, including Mayor Karen Bass, faced criticism, but additional firefighters are being deployed. Governor Newsom announced a plan to rebuild, while President-Elect Trump criticized the state's response. The National Weather Service issued a "Particularly Dangerous Situation" advisory as over 8,500 firefighters battle the fires.

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.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has accused the FBI of leaking plans for large-scale immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles. Noem vowed to prosecute the corrupt agents responsible for undermining federal efforts. The leak was tied to an ICE operation targeting illegal immigrants and individuals with pending removal orders. While tensions over immigration policies rise, Noem's actions signal a major push to clamp down on leaks that threaten law enforcement operations.

A viral video has sparked controversy after showing individuals carrying goods from a fire-ravaged house in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles during the ongoing wildfires. The video quickly gained traction on social media, with some users falsely claiming that Black individuals were looting abandoned homes amid the chaos. These claims, amplified by figures like Deepak Sharma (@SonOfBharat7), who labeled the individuals in the video as "infiltrator Jihadis," further fueled racist and communal rhetoric, warning against providing refuge to such individuals. The viral narrative gathered significant attention, with over 200,000 views and thousands of shares.

Nearly 200 pieces of Hunter Biden's artwork, valued at millions, were destroyed in the raging Los Angeles wildfires. The collection was stored near the Pacific Palisades home of Biden’s attorney, Kevin Morris. Known for his controversial art sales, Hunter’s pieces, once priced up to $500,000, included works on Japanese paper. This devastating loss comes amid ongoing scrutiny over the buyers of his art and his recent pardon from his father, President Biden. Morris’s home survived the fires, but Hunter’s artwork wasn’t as fortunate.
