President Donald Trump has abruptly terminated Dr. Carla D. Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, continuing his administration’s removal of federal officials linked to progressive policies. The dismissal was delivered Thursday evening via a brief two-sentence email from the White House Presidential Personnel Office, effective immediately.
Developer and former mayoral candidate Rick Caruso has launched Steadfast LA, a new nonprofit organization focused on accelerating the rebuilding and recovery of communities devastated by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
After three weeks of devastation, fire crews have fully contained both the Eaton and Palisades fires, which scorched thousands of acres and claimed more than a dozen lives.
Residents of Pacific Palisades waited in line for more than two hours on Tuesday to obtain an orange placard required for re-entry into their fire-ravaged neighborhood. The placard system, implemented by local officials, is intended to prevent looting and ensure that only authorized individuals can access the area.
