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.

When the Greek public voted down a bailout offer from European creditors in a July 2015 referendum, Kimberly Guilfoyle called them "freeloaders" who need to "suck it up" and stop "retiring too early." She also suggested they should be punished like a dog who pees on the rug.

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list.
Her "crime"?
She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not.
This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.
