How LA wildfires are making an already tough rental market even worse
The one-bedroom cottage with a woodsy vibe reminded Heather McAlpine of the home she lost to the brutal Los Angeles-area wildfires. But only two hours after seeing the listing, the rental was snapped up. She is one of tens of thousands of people displaced by the fires who is now competing for housing in a region that is among the most expensive and competitive in the country, partly due to lack of supply.
How Trump’s mass layoffs raise the risk of wildfires in the US West, according to fired workers
The termination letters that ended the careers of thousands of U.S. Forest Service employees mean fewer people and less resources will be available to help prevent and fight wildfires, raising the specter of even more destructive blazes across the American West, fired workers and officials said. The Forest Service firings — on the heels of deadly blazes that ripped through Los Angeles last month — are part of a wave of federal worker layoffs, as President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting measures reverberate nationwide.
Some New York prison guards charged in beating death of handcuffed inmate appear in court
Six New York prison guards have been indicted for second-degree murder in the beating death of a handcuffed inmate, a brutal incident captured on body-worn cameras that triggered widespread outrage and calls for justice. Four other corrections workers were charged with lesser crimes in the December death of Robert Brooks at Marcy Correctional Facility in an indictment unsealed Thursday. The special prosecutor, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick, said especially disturbing to him was the “sense of normalcy” of the employees on the video, which was caught unintentionally on the body-worn cameras.

Trump announces plans to speak with China and keep TikTok 'alive'
President Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he plans to speak to China about TikTok on Wednesday. "There's a lot of people interested in TikTok, and I think we have a chance of doing something good. And we'll be speaking to China about that also because they're a party to it obviously. But it would be great to keep TikTok alive, sell it to somebody that's going to do a great job with it," he said Wednesday. The president issued an executive order back in January to extend the period before the app was set to be banned to make a deal.
Wellness blogger Belle Gibson lied about having cancer. Years later, Australia is still chasing her
A decade after wellness influencer Belle Gibson admitted she didn’t have terminal brain cancer, which she claimed was cured by the healthy lifestyle that made her famous, her story has inspired a new Netflix series — and fresh outrage in Australia about the case’s lack of resolution.
