Trump's Disaster Relief Flows Like Molasses in a Minnesota January!
"A tornado tore apart the one-story brick house and damaged the truck while lifting it partly in the air. Anthony emerged unhurt. But he had to replace his vehicle with a used truck that became his home while waiting for Trump to issue a major disaster declaration allowing federal money to flow to individuals reeling from loss. That took weeks!"

"On July 5, the day after the Texas floods hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received 3,027 calls from survivors and answered 3,018 of them, about 99.7%, according to Maxine Joselow of the New York Times. But that day, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies that answered those calls."

As Heather Cox Richardson reports today, we now know that the day after the lethal floods occurred in Texas, Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies answering emergency calls for FEMA help — so that on July 6, FEMA answered only 35.8% of the calls it received and the following day, only 15.9%:

MAGA fascists know how to fool the ignorant and torment the innocent, but they’re clueless about running a government.

Rechte Katastrophenpolitik:
"In Texas werden die Toten geborgen, und Kristi Noem will den Katastrophenschutz (#FEMA) streichen."
Das hat System: je weniger Unterstützung Menschen in einer Katastrophe haben, desto ängstlicher & manipulierbarer werden sie.

Wutrede von Kristi Noem: In Texas werden die Toten geborgen – und Trumps Ministerin will den Katastrophenschutz streichen
Noch immer werden im texanischen Flutgebiet viele Menschen vermisst. Die Fema-Behörde unterstützt die Suche vor Ort. Das hielt Heimatschutzministerin Kristi Noem aber nicht von scharfer Kritik ab.DER SPIEGEL
#Trump wickelt nach dieser Hurrikansaison die Katastrophenschutzbehörde #FEMA ab. Damit bekommen die Bundesstaaten kein Geld bei Naturkatastrophen mehr. Gleichzeitig will #POTUS diese Gelder tlw. direkt selber feudal vergeben.
#Klimakatastrophe? Well, good luck...

"the Federal Emergency Management Agency (#Fema) 'is not ready' for the start of the hurricane season."
Warum? Damit niemand niemandem in der Katastrophe helfen kann, was dystopische rechte Erzählungen bestätigt.

Whatever happened to Elon Musk? Tech boss drifts to margins of Trump world

#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.

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.
