“The Hills” actor Spencer Pratt is coming down hard on California governor Gavin Newsom (D) and the state Senate for supporting a bill that will allow the city to purchase fire ravaged lots to construct low income housing. 

“… I used my trusty Chat GPT pro asking why this Bill would be bad for residents. The response was interesting. So I asked my new 4 agents at Grok 4 heavy the same question,” the 41-year-old reality star wrote in his Instagram caption. 

Pratt included images of the bill’s text and the AI platform breakdowns of what it all meant. 

“Obviously I’m no genius… but having the people in charge of the town they just let burn down make any decisions in rebuilding it… seems crazy to me,” he added.   

The images included detailed breakdowns of California Senate Bill 549 via Grok 4 Heavy. 

“Removes local control over land use in fire-affected areas; enables county rezoning/redevelopment without resident input; risks displacement, overdevelopment, added bureaucracy, delays, and new taxes,” one image in the carousel said.

Another image detailed why SB549 was “bad for residents,” giving reasons such as “creates a county authority that overrides city/community decisions on rebuilding after wildfires” and “enables rezoning without input.”

Pratt lost his $3 million home during the wildfires that ravaged the Los Angeles area in January. He previously announced his intention to sue the state for their handling of the natural disaster. 

Per Los Angeles Magazine, the bill will allow the city to purchase now vacant lots of structures destroyed by the fires to build low income housing.

Newsom announced that he has allocated $101 million in taxpayer funds to help with the project. 

“Los Angeles has taken significant steps to rebuild after January’s fires, but the devastation is significant and there remains a long road ahead. Thousands of families – from Pacific Palisades to Altadena to Malibu – are still displaced and we owe it to them to help,” Newsom said, saying the bill seeks to “accelerate the development of affordable multifamily rental housing so that those rebuilding their lives after this tragedy have access to a safe, affordable place to come home to.”

KYIV (Reuters) — Russia attacked cities across Ukraine overnight with hundreds of drones and a missile strike, hitting energy infrastructure and wounding at least 15 people, authorities said on Wednesday.

Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 400 drones and one ballistic missile, primarily targeting Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Vinnytsia – three cities in different parts of Ukraine.

The large-scale long-range attacks targeted energy infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X.

Power was cut for 80,000 families in Kryvyi Rih and other locations in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine’s largest private energy company DTEK said on the Telegram app.

The air force said it had shot down most of the drones, but that 12 targets were hit by 57 drones and the missile.

Russia has stepped up attacks on cities across Ukraine this summer, regularly sending several hundred drones accompanied by ballistic missiles. The attacks were cited by U.S. President Donald Trump this week as a reason for his decision to approve more weapons for Ukraine, including air defenses.

“Russia does not change its strategy, and to effectively counter this terror we need a systemic strengthening of defences: more air defences, more interceptor (drones), more determination to make Russia feel our response,” Zelensky wrote.

In Vinnytsia and the surrounding region, eight people were wounded, according to Ukraine’s interior ministry.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said on X that drones had hit a factory of the Polish wood flooring producer Barlinek Group in Vinnytsia, which is in the western part of central Ukraine.

“The plant manager told me just now that it was deliberate, from three directions… Putin’s criminal war is getting closer to our borders,” he added.

The head of the military administration in Kryvyi Rih, Oleksandr Vilkul, said Russian forces conducted an extended attack with a missile and 28 drones. He said water supplies had also been disrupted in some areas.

A 17-year-old boy had been severely injured in the attack and was fighting for his life in the hospital, Vilkul added.

In Kharkiv, a frequent target of Russian attacks, regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said at least 17 explosions were recorded in a 20-minute drone attack in which three people were injured.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defence units had gone into action for a time in the capital, but there were no reports of casualties or damage there.

Russia has killed thousands of civilians in attacks on Ukrainian cities since launching its full-scale invasion more than three years ago. Moscow says civilian infrastructure, such as energy systems are legitimate targets because they help Ukraine’s war effort. Ukraine also launches long-range strikes on targets in Russia, although on a more limited scale.
