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.

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?
