Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene
An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.
NEW: Income isnβt supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we donβt know who shot him.
If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

I'm holding my tongue for now, but if you fuckers in the media don't stop trying to eulogize Charlie Kirk like he was Ted Kennedy or Bob Dole I am going to tell everybody what I think about that hate filled son of a........like I said I am currently holding my tongue, for now.

So fckng what? They are not going to ask you what you think. How about you get your fat a$$ up off the couch and go to court for a preliminary injunction or a protective order. Get your a$$ to court and force the administration to appear. Or just sit there complaining and watch what happens.

He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And heβs singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And itβll be a painful realization for them.

Democrats flee Texas to block Republican redistricting map backed by Trump
The redistricting would create five new Republican-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives.
Once more, it's the Democrats who are fighting to keep our democracy alive. Texas Democratic lawmakers flee the state to prevent Texas GOP members from gerrymandering a redistricted map so that only the GOP can win in Texas.
