I've said it before. I'll say it again.
Wildfires don't care whether a state votes Democratic or Republican.
Neither should aid to help states recover from wildfires.

"Schiff begged for a pardon"
Nope. Quite the opposite.
Trump’s phone call with Zelensky was taped.
Wrong again.
"It was a perfect call"
Oh please, not that again.
3 lies a minute. Trump must be slowing down.
The case for an independent commission to review the response to the Eaton and Palisades Fires continues to grow:
Reports of water shortages, communications issues, and now this.
We need answers. So we can save more lives, homes and communities.

Following the rapidly spreading #HughesFire in Castaic Lake.
Our first responders are already working hard to tackle these flames – and more resources are on the way.

My staff told me all the cool Senators are on Bluesky now.
Here's what Donald Trump's executive orders and immigration actions will mean for you:
Higher housing & food costs when construction and farm workers are deported.
Higher costs across the board when consumers pay for Trump tariffs.
So much for his promise of lower prices.
The President gave a literal "Get Out of Jail Free" card to rioters who committed horrific violence in his name.
Not just forgiveness for their crimes. But a permission structure to do it again.
Donald Trump was elected to lower prices. Not run the country like the mob.
Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid.
There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families.
Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.
Pam Bondi, last week on pardons for Jan 6 offenders: "I will look at every case on a case-by-case basis"
Donald Trump, yesterday: "Full pardons"
No review. No accountability. Nothing.
Instead, we may be witnessing something worse: the newest milestone along the road to autocracy, in which a president pardons those who do violence on his behalf and encourages others to do the more of the same.
It’s a desecration of memory and the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, and a brazen attempt to rewrite history.
But history will not be rewritten. Not by a thousand lies or a thousand pardons.
Trump’s action today is a sick betrayal of the rule of law and adds grievous insult to injury to law enforcement officers. These men and women fought to uphold the rule of law, only to see it mocked by a man who swore just a few hours ago, to God and country, to defend it.
And in one of his first acts, he pardoned the perpetrators and planners of that violence and sedition.
The halls they protected were desecrated by hate and chaos. Offices ransacked. The electoral count delayed.
Today, in a grim irony, Trump took the oath of office under the protection of those same officers, standing in those same hallowed halls he incited violence against just four years earlier.
Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol.
These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Written right there in the Constitution.
The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.
Obscene. Grotesque.
Apt descriptors for Trump’s decision to pardon people who assaulted law enforcement even as they assaulted the Capitol.
Pardoning violent insurrectionists is a terrible – but not terribly surprising – way for Donald Trump to begin his new administration.
With time, I suspect we’ll only come to appreciate President Biden’s work even more.
His work to build, to restore hope and to remind us of our better selves.
But beyond his administration's many accomplishments – President Biden showed himself to be what he has always been, a good and honorable man.
When we needed it most, he reminded us that decency matters.
