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.
The Pacific Palisades and Eaton wildfires in Los Angeles continue to spread uncontrollably, marking day 5 of the devastating crisis. With high winds fueling the flames, at least 16 people have been confirmed dead, and the number is expected to rise. Over 100,000 residents remain under evacuation orders, as thousands of homes and structures have been destroyed or damaged. The fires, exacerbated by dry conditions, have become increasingly difficult to contain. Emergency responders are working tirelessly, but experts warn that the blaze remains a significant threat. Watch the harrowing footage capturing the scale of destruction.

American business mogul Rick Caruso has sharply criticized Los Angeles’ response to a raging wildfire, calling the city a "Third World Country" due to its inadequate preparations. Caruso slammed the local government's failure to fill water reservoirs, leaving firefighters without the necessary resources to battle the growing flames. As the wildfire swept through the western Los Angeles hillside, including celebrity residences in the Palisades area, evacuation orders were issued for approximately 30,000 residents, with many abandoning their vehicles. California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency, warning of worsening conditions as high winds threatened to further fuel the fire. With over 13,000 structures under threat, Caruso's comments have sparked a broader conversation about mismanagement and the city's readiness to handle such disasters.

Russia has strongly criticized the United States for its reliance on prison labor to fight wildfires in California. Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova highlighted the hypocrisy of the U.S., pointing out its previous condemnation of forced labor practices in countries like China while mobilizing prisoners for emergency firefighting efforts in California. Amid the ongoing wildfire crisis that has caused extensive destruction, including over 12,300 structures destroyed and significant loss of life, Zakharova questioned whether the U.S. Congress would take action against state authorities for using unpaid prison labor in emergency situations.

A shocking new theory suggests that hidden electrical faults in Los Angeles' power grid may have played a role in igniting the deadly wildfires that ravaged the city. Spikes in electrical faults were detected just hours before the Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires began, sparking questions about whether these surges could have directly triggered the infernos. Whisker Labs identified a concerning pattern of electrical faults, with one recorded just before the critical hour of ignition. The theory proposes that strong winds may have caused power lines to touch trees or blow out of position, potentially creating sparks that ignited dry vegetation.

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.
