Through the national flood insurance program. Renters insurance doesn't cover flood. It will cover your contents and depending on the rider might help with temporary relocation costs

Many of the people who were hit by Katrina, who then resettled in Houston were hit by Harvey.
Most of the funds for rebuilding are targeted to homeowners not renters and if you're not in a FEMA flood zone it might not occur to you to get flood insurance. Renters can also get flood insurance

Grijalva not being sworn in means she doesn’t have access to funds as a member of Congress, which means she can’t help her constituents. She has repeated this multiple times and Mike Johnson knows this but he’s going to keep lying about it anyway.

Three quarters left over. Did we forget?
the line all the free market zombies rehearse is about minimum wage jobs being entry-level positions not intended to provide sustaining income & it’s such a transparent clever-boy line. 1 bedroom is entry level lodging. A job should pay for it & you should have 2/3 of your pay left over
The yearly pay at the federal minimum wage:
$15,080
The average yearly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment in the United States:
$17,340
We need living wages and lower housing costs. This is not sustainable.

People are like “you really think we should normalize air conditioning? That pales in comparison to my plan of insulating houses and providing AC to vulnerable populations and then not insulating houses nor providing AC to vulnerable populations.”
“no one is really disputing we should keep the very old, the very young and the vulnerable cool…”
The problem with “AC is a sin” takes like this one in the Guardian is they DO encourage people to view air conditioning as a luxury and heat as not that big a deal, which DOES reduce cooling access.
