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.

Can we PLEASE stop supporting these shitty, neo-liberal, billionaire owned media sources?
There are 10k other sources for this article. We don’t need to filter our understanding of the world through Jeff Bezo’s opinion of how the world should be.
It’s easy to fabricate the contents of paywalled media sources as well. If only a handful of people can prove you wrong, your version of the article becomes the truth.
Something I hadn’t considered. If we’re posting things to comment on and have conversations around, it makes sense to me that any content needs to be open-access to users, otherwise how can we expect to have a conversation?

I claim your source is a liar, and made things up.
So can you. And more importantly, so can op. I didn’t post it.
