Newsom accuses Trump of wildfire aid snub

Gavin Newsom accused the Trump administration of rebuffing a meeting request as the California governor seeks more wildfire recovery aid in Washington, casting the refusal to make a staffer available as an unprecedented breach.

The Democratic governor’s staff said the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Federal Resources Management Agency, told them FEMA’s acting director was unavailable and did not offer another official to meet with as Newsom presses Congress for $33.9 billion. The Newsom administration framed that freezeout as part of a larger abandonment of the Los Angeles area, arguing the White House has broken with precedent by not sending a funding proposal to Congress.

“The Trump Administration refused a routine wildfire recovery meeting — a rejection we’ve never seen before — even as LA families near a year without long-term federal financial help,” Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said in a statement. “The message to survivors is unmistakable: Donald Trump doesn’t care about them.”

"It has been almost a year since the fires, yet Newsom and Bass have done almost nothing.

"Adam Carolla predicted the rebuild would be nonexistent back in January. He was right.

Rosie O'Donnell's therapist urged her to 'detach' from social media due to bizarre fixation on Trump  "Rosie O'Donnell's therapist begged her to cut herself off from social media over what friends and family have described as a spiraling fixation with President Donald Trump - but the comedian couldn't even hold out for half a day.

The day before Thanksgiving, O'Donnell vowed to her therapist that she would go two days without posting anything about the Republican president, according to The Washington Post's profile of her life in Ireland. 

"The pledge collapsed almost instantly. 'It lasted maybe a few hours,' the paper reported.". . .
