Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on.
But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists.
The American people deserve better.

Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft?
Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

I see a lot of blame going around for the lack of urgency and response for the floods. Agreed, reducing jobs at key agencies doesn’t help. But never forget that this evil fool spent our surplus $ on political stunts instead of infrastructure:

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

For locals, getting the grants of - less than 200,00 that abbott and patrick lobbied against (from the feds) and later worked against (TXlege), the alert systems were not purchased.
Great points here. Budgets were an issue, but not on the NWS side.
Despite the area's known flooding risks, Texas lawmakers failed to invest in warning systems toward helping NWS-prompted messages like these reach more people.
