Residents in a Northern California community are begging Gov. Newsom for help as crime runs rampant as Los Angeles continues to burn from wildfires.

Donald Trump has departed the White House for his first trip since his inauguration, with an itinerary that includes a visit to Los Angeles to survey fire damage and get an update on the recovery efforts in the Palisades.

California passed a set of bills to expedite LA wildfire recovery funds as part of an extended special session called by Gov. Gavin Newsom in response to Palisades and Eaton fires.

California lawmakers unanimously approved $2.5 billion to aid wildfire cleanup and recovery in the Los Angeles area Thursday morning just 10 days after Gov. Gavin Newsom called for it in a special session.

Amid threats to withhold federal disaster aid to California, President Donald Trump with tour the Pacific Palisades this afternoon.

Newsom said it was a "ridiculous lie" that he cut $100 million, a retort he included on his new website, California Fire Facts. But the website didn’t dissect the $100 million; it focused on the big picture of the budget during his tenure, asserting that the budget had grown for California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Cal Fire.

California still considers looting a crime. Newsom debunked the claim on X, and prosecutors have charged multiple people with looting.

The minute something goes wrong, then you have excuses and cop-outs and really no direct response,” one resident fumed.
