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.

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire.
California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

"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."

The world's richest man is concerned about "government overspending."
Yet his concern about deficits seems to disappear when it comes to extending tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit billionaires like him.
Tax cuts that will balloon the deficit by $5 trillion, btw.

Republicans gear up for the coming battle over $5 trillion tax cut's costs
Republicans are united on extending the 2017 tax cuts, but at odds on how to offset the cost.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

This is the best decision. Let’s all move on and not let these personal and political attacks distract us as a nation. Move on!!
Pardon of Hunter Biden is in the best interests of justice. Based on the facts, most federal prosecutors would have declined to charge him. The botched misdemeanor guilty plea and sentence of diversion were a tell that the special counsel had the same assessment.

President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

It shouldn't be too much to ask that the next FBI Director be able to pass an FBI background check.
Fundraising and profiting off people who attacked the peaceful transfer of power should be disqualifying. As the very lowest of low baselines.
