Description

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian—both based in Los Angeles and representing hundreds of wildfire victims—tear apart Trump's executive order on LA wildfire rebuilding. The order claims to cut red tape and speed up permits, but it does nothing to address the actual barriers to recovery: insurance companies slow-paying claims, tariff-driven construction costs, labor shortages from immigration crackdowns, and $33.9 billion in federal disaster aid that California has requested and Trump is withholding. Instead, the order allows builders to "self-certify" that their structures meet safety standards—the same approach that created the Boeing 737 MAX disasters. It also prohibits affordable housing in Pacific Palisades, because Trump doesn't want poor people moving into a wealthy neighborhood. The president has no authority over local permitting. He knows that. This isn't policy—it's a press release with a signature. Mayor Karen Bass called it a "meaningless political stunt." She's being generous.

So freaking insane.... I hope his star on Hollywood Blvd. keeps getting demolished. Or if not that....then endlessly peed and crapped on. Yeah the day he gives this state a bloody cent is the day they start serving Baskin Robbins in Hell.

Is he going to turn on the faucet in northern California so the water can flow south?? SUCH AN ORANGE DUNCE. There is no FEMA, so he's not just screwing blue states now. Ask North Carolina. 🌮 ONLY wants the wealthy to own houses. Peons can eat cake!

It is legal for CA to do a "soft secession" by redirecting withheld federal taxes collected from residents and businesses, redirecting the money into state-controlled trust funds

The rest of that money has probably been stolen. As in not there any longer. Moved around so he can take possession of it.
