“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.

How short their memories are:
Oh are those the same anti terrorism funds that some cities are using to install hundreds of Flock cameras?
Should withhold taxes
Does diet Coke need to be dumped into the reflecting pool? No taxation without representation
Is this why RI was denied $19M in federal aid from the February Blizzard response, while nearly $900M went out to like 8 red states checks notes yesterday?
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
Alright, then the affected states withhold 20% of their taxes until the funding is restored. Sounds fair right?
Ah, so that explains it
