  1. Gov. Gavin Newsom launched [www.californiafirefacts.com](http://www.californiafirefacts.com) on Saturday to address what he calls “mis- and dis-information” being spread online about the recent fires in Southern California.

    It was inspired by allegedly false information being spread by Fox News, Donald Trump, and “Elon Musk’s platform,” or X, formerly known as Twitter, according to a press release.

    “There is an astonishing amount of mis- and dis-information being spread online – much of it by so-called leaders and partisan media outlets who seek to divide this country for their own political gain,” said Governor Newsom in a statement. “It breaks my heart that families in Los Angeles don’t just have to worry about the fires but also this malicious disinformation as well.”

    The website is primarily dedicated to responding to posts on X that the Governor alleges are false, like a Fox News post saying, “Gov. Newsom cut fire budget by $100M months before lethal California fires.”

    “A ridiculous lie,” Newsom called this in his own post. “We have doubled the size of our firefighting army, built the world’s largest aerial firefighting fleet, and increased the forest management ten-fold since taking office.”

    Good.

    The fact that people insert their feelings (about politics or otherwise) into information and then present the information as fact is wild to me.

    The people who are buying into the lies won’t give a shit what the website says. They’ll just call it fake news and go back to whatever Facebook group is giving them their “news”

    How come people can be this stupid?

    “60 fire trucks from the state of Oregon are being held up in Sacramento to for “emissions testing”

    Do they think left is this stupid or this much woke that when fire is going on (which generates immense emissions) government would stop truck to check emissions which has come to stop that fire.

    IMO this is even more stupid than flat earther.
