As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, conservatives such as Charlie Kirk have gone on the record to suggest that Trump and the GOP should withhold federal aid to California.

(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)

On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”

    Talking about egregiously mishandled things…

    In a giant step for energy security, the infamously independent Texas grid (ERCOT) is preparing to connect to the U.S. grid. The Biden-Harris administration has committed a $360 million federal grant for this vast project as part of their Investing in America’ program.
