Political Tensions Rise Over California Wildfire Aid Conditions

Amid ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, President Trump has threatened to withhold federal disaster aid unless California alters its water policies. This ultimatum has sparked unease among California Republicans, leading to significant pushback against the prospect of conditional aid. Several GOP members, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, are weighing the implications of such conditions on wildfire assistance. As firefighting efforts continue in the region, tensions between state leadership and federal authorities grow, with concerns about the potential impact on both disaster response and political unity within the party.
