Musk takes the wheel while Thiel rides shotgun. In the back seat are representatives from the Heritage Foundation, three tech billionaires, and Silicon Valley elites. Meanwhile, Vance and Mump are merely their lackeys in the trunk.

Los Angeles County will require billions of dollars from the federal government solely for toxic cleanup efforts. However, Republicans are unlikely to provide this funding without attaching their own conditions, setting the stage for a major battle in Congress.

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts.
