This week, China found out the price for being an undermining foe is 10%.

And Canada found out that the price for being a helpful friend, who helped with California's wild fires, is 15% more.

Thank you, totally incompetent Donald Trump.

YIKES! Duckworth asks Hegseth to name a country that's in ASEAN. He names three -- none of which are in ASEAN.

One of America's most famous cities is on fire and the richest man in the country hasn't paid a penny to assist people whose lives have been destroyed by the fires.

He has, however, been busy spewing disinformation and encouraging people to loot. Because worthless trolls are like that.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!)

Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled...

As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

As California burns as a result of a climate crisis driven by the burning of fossil fuels, repeated speakers at President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral discuss his historic leadership and contributions to embracing a shift to renewable energy and tackling fossil fuel dependence.

Planet Fitness locations in Los Angeles are “offering anyone impacted by the fires—first responders and residents—free access to shower, recharge, and relax”

No membership is required to take advantage of locker rooms, WiFi, charging stations at any LA County location not impacted by the fires.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the firemen who are risking their lives to save others in these dire moments.

The firefighters are putting in long, long hours and making little if any headway, due to the high winds.

This is another horrific event caused by climate change.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
