Jimmy Carter Passes Away at Age 100

California is grappling with devastating wildfires that have claimed at least five lives and forced over 100,000 residents to evacuate. The blazes have destroyed entire neighborhoods and are exacerbated by extreme dry and windy conditions, with officials struggling to manage multiple fire fronts due to a shortage of firefighting resources. Meanwhile, the nation is mourning the loss of former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at 100; his state funeral will be held at the National Cathedral with dignitaries in attendance, including President Biden who will deliver a eulogy. Carter's legacy of social justice and community service, particularly with Habitat for Humanity, is being celebrated by many, including leaders from Silicon Valley who remember his genuine approach. As the wildfires continue to rage, President Biden has canceled a planned trip to Italy to address the situation in California. The stories of both the wildfires and Carter's impact are dominating headlines as the country navigates these significant events.
