California Wildfires Day 7: What is Pink Powder? How Phos-Check Fighting LA Pacific Palicades Fire?

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires.

This chemical barrier prevents flames from spreading by coating vegetation and flammable surfaces, cutting off oxygen.

While effective, environmental experts raise concerns over its impact on ecosystems and human health.

Phos-Chek, though highly useful, has led to pollution, wildlife harm, and legal disputes.

Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate.

Planned Parenthood DEFUNDED? Pro-Life Uprising ROCKS U.S. | Senate CRUSHES Abortion Funding Move

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans. #PlannedParenthood #Medicaid #Protests #SenateVote #DefundPP #HealthcareCrisis #WomensHealth #ReproductiveRights #LilaRose #PattyMurray #VoteARama #MedicaidCuts #SCOTUS #AbortionDebate #HealthcareAccess #AmericaProtests #PPFunding #CongressWatch #USPolitics #BreakingNews #HealthEquity #ClinicClosures #ProLife #ProChoice #PolicyBattle #SenateShowdown #WomensRights ~ED.194~HT.408~

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.” The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.” #ZohranMamdani #BrandonGill #RacismInPolitics #TexasCongressman #IndianOrigin #BiryaniGate #ThirdWorld #CulturalRacism #Islamophobia #PalestinePolitics #AmericanValues #TrumpHypocrisy #RightWingRacism #EndWokeness #DineshDSouza #DanielleDSouza #UgandaToNYC #NewYorkPolitics #GOPControversy #MamdaniSpeaks ~HT.408~
