FEMA dramatically slowed its distribution of these grants last summer, according to a Post analysis of public data through May 4. The agency went from awarding roughly $91 million per month between February and June in 2025 to about $3 million per month for the rest of the year, the analysis shows. After facing legal scrutiny for holding up disaster-related funds, the agency reversed course and released $760 million in grant funding in March alone, of a total of $1.1 billion so far this year.

But two states facing heightened wildfire risk this year — California and Colorado — have received scarcely any of the money since last July, The Post’s analysis found. The delay has affected about 20 wildfire-related projects across the West, according to internal records, most of those in California and Colorado.

Never mind that the fire-prone areas are full of Republicans; it's just pure revenge at the state level.

Access options

 

the devices can also kill or injure people, pets and endangered species. In one 2017 incident that gained national notoriety, the 14-year-old Canyon Mansfield and his dog were sprayed by a cyanide bomb near their Idaho home. The dog, Kasey, collapsed and died. Canyon was rushed to a hospital, where he was treated for temporary blindness.

 

State and local officials will also be prohibited from formally cooperating with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement under the agreement.

 

Record flooding pushed Michigan's dams to the brink of disaster. The near miss reflects the national problem of infrastructure that is not suited to the challenges of a warming world.

 

Political committees have already raised $4.7 billion for the November contests as ultra-wealthy donors look to shape the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency.

Importantly, Soros is the only one who gives to Democrats, which is why his name has become an antisemitic rallying cry by Republicans

Headline isn't great, but they've started impersonating local police, which is something ICE has not done before. Locally, a big part of what rapid responders do is to verify that a local police action is not ICE or Border Patrol. If ICE is running around with fake local police badges, this becomes a lot harder.

A lot of local reporters think their job depends on staying on the good side of local police in order to retain access

Yeah, I expect it of the New York Times, which is afraid of losing access. Local outlets have nothing to lose by speaking truth to power

There is a range of ways to run an economy and a society which can all work reasonably well. Conservative doesn’t have to be fascist. Its more that Republicans purged the non-fascist conservatives from any position of power

The author of the piece is a former Republican. They actually flipped sides on the hate thing a few decades ago, but it took a while to get to the point where open Nazism instead of dog whistling was ok

During the KKK era, the Democrats were the ones in favor of hate, while the Republicans were not. The parties radically flipped after the passage of the Civil Rights act as a direct result of Nixon making a decision to support the hate to win elections, though the full flip took decades to play out. We're hitting the end of that now.

Republicans were not always Nazis. The article tries to look at how the change happened
