08.01.2025 โ‡ข The Day Los Angeles Ran Dry
โŒจThe Pacific Palisades fire evolved into five separate infernos across Los Angeles County, with early morning reports of 30,000 evacuees growing to 70,000 by evening. The situation deteriorated as water hydrants ran dry, prompting Pentagon intervention. Death toll rose from two to five victims by nightfall, while property damage exceeded 1,100 structures.

The fires intersected with political discourse as Trump criticized Newsom's water management policies, while the absent Mayor Bass faced scrutiny for being in Ghana. Biden approved a major disaster declaration as 1.5 million residents lost power.

This crisis overshadowed other developments, including the planned release of Jack Smith's Trump report and Judge Cannon's attempts to restrict it. The Treasury's confirmation of Meta board changes and moderation policy shifts, following yesterday's announcement, suggested preparation for Trump's return to the platform.

Canadian leadership vacuum deepened as post-Trudeau uncertainty complicated trade preparations for Trump's presidency.
