🖋 Biden signs ‘burn pits’ help for vets
President Joe Biden, whose elder son Beau died of cancer years after deploying to Iraq, signed legislation on Wednesday expanding federal health care services for millions of veterans who served at military bases where toxic smoke billowed from huge “burn pits.”
The law, which Biden described as long overdue, caps a years-long battle to ensure treatment for chronic illnesses that veterans have blamed on burn pits, which were used to dispose of chemicals, tires, plastics, medical equipment and human waste on military bases. Estimates of affected troops run to 3.5 million.
The president made addressing the problem one of his priorities during his State of the Union address in March.

🎞 Disney Plus’ ad-supported plan will launch in December
Disney’s ad-supported tier of Disney Plus will cost $7.99 per month — the current cost of the ad-free plan — and will be available beginning December 8th, the company announced on Wednesday. That same day, there will be a price hike for the ad-free plan, which will cost $10.99 per month. The cost of that annual subnoscription will be jumping from $79.99 to $109.99.
The ad-supported plan doesn’t come as a surprise; Disney had said earlier this year that the plan would be arriving in late 2022. Netflix is also planning to launch its own ad-supported tier, though the company isn’t expecting to launch it until early 2023.

🗳 Third Times’ Not a Charm
Joe Arpaio, who once served as Arizona’s longtime sheriff, saw his third comeback bid go up in flames late Wednesday after losing the race for the mayor of Fountain Hills.
The 90-year-old figure lost out against two-term incumbent Ginny Dickey to lead the Maricopa County town. Incidentally, Fountain Hills was also the town he lost the vote in his first two comeback initiatives.
Once a prominent figure in Republican politics in the Copper State, Arpaio was involved in a firestorm after it was determined he’d ordered large-scale traffic patrols that targeted immigrant populations. However, despite a conviction he was later pardoned by former US President Donald Trump in December 2020.

📈 Miami's Republican mayor lays groundwork for possible presidential run
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and his political team are now looking to take their brand national — and, specifically, to states crucial for any presidential aspirant. He currently serves as president of the United States Conference of Mayors, which represents over 1,400 cities with populations of 30,000 or more.
Suarez, the son of Miami's first Cuban-born mayor, has received national attention as the GOP looks to build on recent gains among Latino voters and recapture urban support. He is considered a rising political star who's overseen the ascendance of one of America's fastest-growing and most dynamic cities.

🏛 Trump took Fifth Amendment more than 440 times
Former President Donald Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right more than 440 times Wednesday in refusing to answer questions at a deposition by lawyers for New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump answered just one question — his name — and then cited the Fifth on every other question he was asked during the deposition, his lawyer Ronald Fischetti says.
Also the former President read aloud a statement in which he called James’ probe “the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country,” and accused the Democratic attorney general of “openly campaigning on a policy of destroying me,” Fischetti said.

🔥 ‘Fire Tornado’ spotted in northwestern Los Angeles County
The Sam Fire, which was burning in Gorman near Old Ridge Route and Lancaster Road, had grown to approximately 150 acres as of 6:15 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
More than 200 fire personnel were battling the blaze and Sky5 captured the footage in the evening.
Fire tornadoes, sometimes called “fire devils” or ‘firenadoes,” occur when extreme, rising heat is met with turbulent wind conditions. The vortex of the tornado sucks in combustible gases and burning debris.
