📺 Psaki shrugs off crime concerns as part of ‘alternate universe’
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brushed off concerns about liberal cities’ soft-on-crime policies, joking on a left-leaning podcast that media coverage of violence in major cities like New York came from an “alternate universe.”
During her interview, Psaki read the chyrons of various cable news shows off the TVs in what appeared to be her White House office.
“She may feel safe in the White House, one of the most protected buildings in the United States, but not everyone feels safe in their workplace,” Patrick Yoes, president of the National Fraternal Order of Police, said in a statement.

🔥 Thousands flee homes near N. Carolina fertilizer plant fire
An uncontrolled fire at a fertilizer plant in North Carolina forced thousands of people to evacuate as firefighters stood back on Tuesday because of the danger of a large explosion.
Authorities drove through neighborhoods and knocked on doors asking residents to leave within a one-mile radius (1.6 km) of the Winston Weaver Company fertilizer plant on the north side of Winston-Salem. No injuries were reported.
The city’s fire chief said the fire had been “relatively static,” but with 600 tons of combustible ammonium nitrate stored at the site, the risk of an explosion would remain through Wednesday.
