Los Angeles is bracing for the biggest storm weβve had since the fires over a month ago. (Wed-Sat) And I am worried about the hillsides near PCH which were scorched and donβt have the brush to hold back the soil. Expecting lots of canyon and road closures and of course, PCH will likely be shut down.

Married women could be stopped from voting under SAVE Act
The act could affect whether married women without passports are able to register to vote.
Texas Rep. Introduces The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act preventing 69 million married women from being able to register to vote.
It requires a birth certificate that matches their current name, which is a problem for women who changed their legal name when they got married

Trump fires at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals could clear the way for the president to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
Breaking WaPo:
The White House β late Friday night β fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste, and abuse.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. Theyβre independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.
