    Trump denied Arkansas's disaster declaration after the recent tornados. Tom Cotton - who has a history of voting against federal disaster aid for other states - isn't happy.

    Sigh. This is the essence of Republicanism as practiced for the last 40+ years. We can thank Saint Ronnie the Dim-Witted for that. Government is the problem until they want and need government. Then it must spring, fully formed, from the brow of Zeus.

    ^ yeah I was just reading about that

    Cameron Hamilton, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, was escorted out of FEMA’s headquarters on Thursday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

    “It’s at the discretion of (Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem) to have the personnel she prefers,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN, confirming that DHS official David Richardson will take over for Hamilton effective immediately. McLaughlin declined to explain why Hamilton was removed from the post.

    The move comes one day after Hamilton defended FEMA during testimony in front of the House Appropriations Committee.

    “As the senior advisor to the President on disasters and emergency management, and to the Secretary of Homeland Security, I do not believe it is in the best interest the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,”

    What he said is objectively true. Which of course MAGA cannot abide, since it gets in the way of their lies.

    here is the bill on Emergency Management



    So all "emergency management" will transfer to State. State will be given a "grant" ( no info on how that "grant program" will be funded ) based on a formula of several factors, and State will have to APPLY with full disclosure on how grant money will be used, by April 1, or forego ANY funding for that year. ( And Sec of Treasury will review and can deny application as well )

    From what im reading, they will fund a state with "x" amount of $$$- to be then disbursed/saved by State for any Emergency management.

    Yeah, this wont cause any corruption at the State level whatsoever. You will see companies formed for the sole purpose of grifting off the grant to be on "stand by" - god forbid something happens and they actually HAVE to ACT. With hardly no money, no personnel and no experience.

    good grief. Higgins is trying so hard to be part of the grift in LA.

    If they abolish them then they get no money. Put the money on the debt that they claim to care so deeply about. Next hurricane that blows through Louisiana Clay can go fork himself.

    The only thing these simpletons understand is something that impacts them directly.
     
    (CNN) — Hurricane preparations at Federal Emergency Management Agency have slowed to a crawl, and the disaster relief agency “is not ready” for the June 1 start to the season, according to an internal agency review obtained by CNN

    Prepared at the direction of new acting Administrator David Richardson as part of a problem-solving exercise at FEMA, the document outlines the agency’s struggles in recent months and raises a number of red flags ahead of hurricane season, including a general uncertainty around its mission, lack of coordination with states and other federal agencies, low morale and new red tape that will likely slow responses.

    “As FEMA transforms to a smaller footprint, the intent for this hurricane season is not well understood,” the document states. “Thus FEMA is not ready.”……….
