“For each state and UASI, FEMA will withhold from drawdown an amount equal to 20% of the recipient’s total HSGP award (SHSP, UASI, and OPSG) until the recipient submits proof of compliance with the FY 2026 Election Security NPA requirements, and such proof is verified/confirmed by the Department,” FEMA wrote. “Upon verification/confirmation, the Department will notify the recipient and release the withheld portion(s) for drawdown in accordance with applicable grant administration requirements.”
In plain terms, FEMA is telling states to follow the administration’s election rules or lose access to a fifth of the terrorism-prevention money.
So now the conservatives are enabling terrorism.
Oh, wait, they’ve been doing that since at least the W days. They had a fucking freakout when the DHS under W found out that the biggest threat of terrorism on our shores was from white supremacist types and since that is the conservative base, well, you know how that goes. Oh, and of course Obama was blamed for it, LOL.
Well, that would only matter if there was some terrorism to be worried about.
Hmmm, wait a minute…
Do withhold it. States become the terrorists and it’s civil war all over again
Ah, so that explains it
