Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?
Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?
Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

Btw, imagine if Biden had attacked a conservative Christian figure in that personal and vicious way. It'd be front page news and on a loop on Fox and his own party would criticize him for it.
But it's Trump, so hey, all good. All normal. Move along, nothing to see here.
