#Trump fires head of #FEMA right before #hurricane season

Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was pushed out of the job on Thurs, acc/to several people familiar w/his departure. His ouster came 1 day after he told members of #Congress that FEMA — which Trump has suggested should be disbanded — was vital to communities “in their greatest times of need” & should not be eliminated.

@josh gonna wait for the hurricane season, when #FEMA is no longer there to help with the damage they couldn't prepare for, because #NOAA also demolished, see what creative rationalizations the #MAGAts come up with.

Gonna be fun.

Except, you know, not. 😑

To understand the T**** Admin, #Republicans, and everything they are doing, one need only realize:

THEY. ARE. TRYING. TO. #PRIVATIZE. EVERYTHING.
(#Education, #HHS, #NIH, #FEMA, #NOAA...)

And if it costs those corporations money (like increasing wages), they block it. #ItsAllAboutTheBenjamins #DisasterPresidency #Privatization

THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL EVERYBODY!

I'm listening to Alex Wagner's podcast from a couple of weeks ago talking about how the #DisasterPresidency is decimating the #EPA.

And I think…

They're also trying to shutdown #FEMA.

…and the #NIH.

…and put a lunatic in charge of #HHS.

…and ignored/dismissed #Covid.

…and are ignoring #BirdFlu. And #Measles.

…and dismiss #ClimateChange.

…and defunding #Superfund toxic waste cleanup.

…and in his first term, repealed laws against dumping toxic coal ash.
