Rachel Darvish, a Pacific Palisades lawyer, confronted California Governor Gavin Newsom on the streets over the state’s response to the devastating wildfires. Shouting, "What are you going to do?" Darvish, whose daughter’s school was destroyed, demanded immediate action. The fires have left five dead and forced over 179,000 evacuations. Newsom responded, "I’m literally talking to the president right now," but Darvish remained skeptical. She criticized the lack of water in hydrants and offered to "fill up the hydrants myself," pressing Newsom for assurances that future responses would be better.
