States across the country rely on FEMA grants to prepare for and protect communities from disasters.
So, what’s Secretary Noem doing? Virtually nothing!
That’s simply unacceptable. It’s time to get states the funding they need.

To save a few bucks, PHMSA gutted pipeline safety rules.
At best, any “savings” will go to pipeline companies—not families facing skyrocketing prices.
At worst, a new era of pipeline safety issues is on the horizon.
Secretary Duffy, please don’t do this.
