Jack Smith Resigns Special counsel Jack Smith has resigned from the Department of Justice, prosecutors revealed in a court filing, with the announcement marking an end to Smith's role spearheading two investigations into President-elect Donald Trump. "The Special Counsel completed his work and submitted his final confidential report on January 7, 2025, and separated from the Department on January 10," Brian Boynton, principal deputy assistant attorney general, wrote in a document filed on Jan. 11.
Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump in two separate cases—one charging him with election-related crimes and another accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after he concluded his first term at the White House.
By leaving office, Smith will avoid the president-elect's pledge to fire him "within two seconds" of Trump taking the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025. Trump has denied wrongdoing in the cases led by Smith and has repeatedly characterized the prosecutions as politically motivated. (More) | |
California Governor Calls for Independent Investigation of Dry Fire Hydrants Reports of water systems that could not provide water to emergency crews during the initial response to the Palisades Fire in Southern California have prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to demand an official inquiry into why some fire hydrants failed to operate.
"I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir," the governor posted on Jan. 10 on social media platform X. The governor directed state firefighting and water officials to research what happened and produce an independent report that determines the causes of the failure and suggests improvements for future responses.
City and county officials said the water system was overwhelmed by firefighting efforts. Demand for water supplies was four times the normal amount for 15 straight hours, according to officials, who said up to 20 percent of hydrants ran dry during the disaster. (More) | |
What's in Your Food? The Food Babe Explains. One of the big agenda items for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, is regulating the use of harmful chemicals in food. From artificial food dyes to euphemistically-labeled "natural flavors," the food industry has been a major contributor to the chronic disease epidemic in America, especially among children, argues Vani Hari, an author and food activist.
"Our bodies are not meant to handle these man-made chemicals that have been invented in the last 50 years," Hari says. Popularly known as the "food babe," Hari has launched multiple petitions and grassroots campaigns to get companies such as Subway and Chick-fil-A to change their ingredient lists, sometimes successfully.
She argues that food companies should be required, as they are in Europe, to add warning labels to foods with artificial dyes like Red #3. "That would automatically almost force the food industry to remove them here as well, because they do not want parents to be concerned about their products," Hari told our colleague, Jan Jekielek.
