President Donald Trump has again denied a request from Colorado’s governor to help people affected by wildfires and flooding. Trump initially rejected the state's Democratic governor, Jared Polis, after Polis sought the major disaster declaration last year. This week, Trump rejected Polis again on appeal. Polis and other Democratic governors accuse Trump of playing politics with disaster aid. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson denies the charge. Researcher Andrew Rumbach with the Urban Institute think tank says Trump approves major disaster aid to Republican-leaning states at about twice the rate as Democratic ones. But Rumbach says he is not certain there is clear political bias.

Afghan authorities say that severe flooding, a landslide and thunderstorms in parts of Afghanistan have left 17 people dead and 26 injured over the last 24 hours. The casualties are the latest from extreme weather in Afghanistan this year. The number could increase as crews from the country’s National Disaster Management Authority survey the affected areas, the authority’s spokesman Yousuf Hammad said in a statement Sunday. Thirteen of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces have been affected. The country is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events, with snow and heavy rain that triggers flash floods often killing dozens, or even hundreds, of people at a time.
