09.01.2025 โ‡ข Five Fires, Five Presidents, Carter's Last Farewell
โŒจThe Los Angeles wildfire crisis intensified with the outbreak of new blazes in Hollywood Hills, as firefighting efforts were hampered by infrastructure failures. Early morning reports confirmed 5 deaths and over 1,000 destroyed structures, with numbers rising throughout the day to 5,300 structures by evening. The evacuation orders expanded from 100,000 to 180,000 residents.

Jimmy Carter's state funeral in Washington DC brought together all living presidents, including Trump and Biden, providing a rare moment of political unity amid the crisis. Biden delivered the eulogy before announcing federal support for LA's fire recovery efforts, pledging 180 days of disaster relief.

By evening, reports emerged of looting arrests and conspiracy theories about the fires' origins, with celebrities facing criticism for promoting unsubstantiated claims. The fires overshadowed other developments, including Venezuela's opposition leader detention and Trump adviser's comments about Greenland acquisition.
