NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.

Trump laid off nearly all of them.
Trump Laid Off Nearly All the Federal Workers Who Investigate Firefighter Deaths

🚨 House Republicans passed Trump’s Billionaire Budget—gutting health care & food assistance while handing tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. 22 million Americans could lose Medicaid.

The gravitas gap between @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and Karoline Leavitt would be HUGE -- and it may be the only measurable advantage Dems get for a while. But the world is watching and need Dems to fight back. If we fight -- they will fight with us. If we fold -- they stand down.

Southern California is facing critical fire weather through Wednesday.
Much of Southern California — from San Luis Obispo to San Diego — is at significant risk of rapid fire spread due to life-threatening winds and dangerously low humidity.
One less spark equals one less wildfire.
