The Trump administration significantly cut funding for flood prevention projects in blue states across the country while creating new water construction opportunities in red states, undoing a Biden-era budget proposal that would have allocated money more evenly, according to a data analysis prepared by Democratic staffers.

    …and I’m sure the alarm will accomplish something this time. The past thousand or so alarm soundings with no action or results have all been flukes.

      I’m waiting for the alarms to ever wake Americans up honestly. Easy to blame a party but seriously, will America ever wake up?

        will America ever wake up?

        We recently elected one of the most vile humans to walk this earth, not in spite of, but because of his open malice. We’re not asleep. We see what’s happening, and most American voters can’t get enough of it, cuz we’re nearly as vile as the orange Nazi we just put in charge.

        So… no, probably not.

      Difference is that red states tend to take more federal aid than blue states. That approach to holding aid hostage will hurt all, but not as bad in blue states.

      In a corrupt system, nothing is more important than money. Where money is power, if you have none, then you have none.

    All these comments are making fun of Democrats for “sounding the alarm,” but what the fuck do you want them to do?

      They can start by not rubber stamping the fascist political appointees that are doing these things, for starters.

        Define “we”. Dems do not have a majority in either the House or Senate, so there’s not really much they can do.

          Republicans in minority: Gumming up the system, filibuster, make no concessions, forces the Democrats to work with them.

          Democrats in minority: We’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas.

          Maybe they don’t vote yes on Trump’s censorship bills? Maybe they refuse his cabinet picks? Just a thought they represent the people who voted them in. Wild idea, I know.

          I don’t think voting in approval of KOSA, Trump’s cabinet picks, and pretending to vote No when you actually vote Yes is “voting against this shit”.

      Yes, blame games are great, had nothing to do with the millions that voted the felon in… honestly he should be wearing orange as a shirt not as face paint but that would require consequences… and those only happen to poor folk

        Maybe the universe thinks incarceration is too good for him and is willing to take things so far that people riot and slowly roasts him on a spit on the white house lawn.
