Texans deserve answers about what went right & what went wrong in response to the terrible flooding. I'm joining Ranking Member Garcia & Congresswoman Crockett to demand answers from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on why it took her 72 hours to approve search and rescue resources. youtu.be/6CrdsizqQLA
They voted for this. End of answers.
So so much to investigate during this regime!
They should suggest putting Noem in a raging river for 72 hours, then go look for her. I wonder if her attitude would change. I bet her view of the situation certainly would. If she lived through it like so many didn't that is.
But what if she weighs less than a duck? I suggest what the villagers do what they always have done with witches.
Simple answer...She was out buying a Texas hat & getting camera ready.
Well, my feelings are Texans can only do one thing and that’s looking in the mirror to see who’s responsible for what happened during the flood… they voted for the most incompetent moron on the face of the Earth, the orange piece of shit
Not all Texans. And no children voted to die young.
Anyone who voted for him, it's time to take responsibility for your own actions. If you voted for him, you're responsible for the terrible flooding that resulted in deaths and injuries and for any other problems he caused. He told y'all for four long years he was going to fuck us and he did...
Agreed
Not all, surely not you. But way too many and they can NOT be excused
Those who voted for mango Mussolini are on X, NOT bluesky. Well, if they are, I never see them anyway. I voted for Harris and Allred, and I live in Texas. These children did not get a vote at all.
Meanwhile Abbotts trying end around
Good for you. Don’t campaign on it. Just get ‘er done.
No alert using emergency alert system (phone), either.
We need public hearings to answer these questions. This should be done as soon as possible.

@repcasar.bsky.social, There is also this subject you can bring up. There was a lot of things that need addressing by her, since current DHS Secretary Noem decided to take the job. www.nbcdfw.com/investigatio...
Damn straight.
She was probably getting pictures taken on her #Horse.
So sorry Kristi trying on various military gear
Texass deserves what they KEEEEEEEP voting for even after disaster after disaster after disaster
What’s offensive is Abbott and his entitled TX GOP cast of characters. Have $25 Billion in there Rainy Day Funds. This money legally belongs to hard- working Texans.. its Billions💰. Thx’s for your stewardship.
She had a hard time trying to find the perfect “flood “ outfit. Give the girl a break. That was an important decision
Not a Texan but what went wrong is listening to and voting for a malignant lying con man and his minions. As a lib I feel very owned now. Hurricane Sandy never forgets
Yes that's great that you guys are standing up and bringing her in so that she can tell you not a f****** thing and it's going to make not a f****** difference cuz what are you going to do you're going to sue her you're going to fire her no you can't do any of that all you're going to do is
Grandstand on f****** television and for what for what exactly what f****** difference is it going to make get the f*** out of your God damn communities and make a f****** difference stop playing these stupid f****** games and get your leadership to f****** do something
Delay was due to Noem updating her wardrobe to “flood relief”.
Puppy killer needs to fuck all the way off 😤
Give her a break. She had to wait for daddy trump to stop crying in the Oval Office.
Why not bring ICE Barbie in for a congressional hearing so she can lie right to your face?
Oh she will
How about the families sue her. She walks around with 3grand in her purse
You're wanting answers from the woman who said FEMA isn't responsible for a federal response during a disaster, even though "Federal" is literally the first word in the name? Better Q: Was taking the weekend off to post her horsey photos worth the suffering she inflicted by her dereliction of duty?
Because she is only cosplaying as the head of DHS and is completely unqualified. Her credentials are rabid support of little d and puppy murder. Not exactly a resume that inspires confidence. She should be prosecuted for criminal negligence.
Thank you! Would also love to know where the "head of FEMA" is... David Richardson. Is he AWOL? Does he just not care at all, and Noem is in charge of it all? Will Texas, New Mexico, etc. be getting the serious needs assistance $770, or has Noem fired those workers too?
I guarantee they are coming with a lie to cover cosplay ass
Thank you so much for doing this! We appreciate you!
Something went 'right'?
Reality of the truth is needed as to why any delay of proper response to such a devastating tragedy etc????
Why aren’t you holding the Governor accountable? Surely he could of called in a state search and rescue team? Does Texas not have these first responders?
Noem is a pathological sadist! Her entire life has been about intentionally harming, killing innocents🧌 trumps’s nomination of her for a position giving her “life & death” powers over humanity makes him criminally complicit in ALL her actions 🧌makes her genuinely dangerous 🧌
Noem took her time because she was busy playing with all the money for 3 days. She had no intention on saving lives. Why would you imprison people for doing nothing if you worried about saving lives?? She's just a b**** from hell.
The 72 hours was fast, she can take up to 5 days to reply…
Your state literally didn't take help because it came from a Democrat Prez. If my kid was one of the ones that perished in that camp, I'd be researching on how to sue the Puppy Killer for being negligent. Also get rid of that psycho bitch
And, I just read that Noem ended the contracts with four call centers on July 5, greatly reducing the response percentages for survivors. Please do investigate. Whether or not she's still in charge at that point...
Can we also investigate why they didn’t have anyone answering the disaster relief assistance line and fired the call center employees on July 5th www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...
I think she was doing a photo shoot.
You’ll get answers just like y’all did for Uvalde eye roll.
Can we then find out why MAGAs have been lying about the response on #threads?
Also for the love of the gods, act like LBJ, not Mr. "Lurch" Jefferies. Use your bullying voice, bullying works on bullies, they hate being ostracized as the other. Comity ain't coming anytime soon.
Maybe we should start with the 5-10 million upgrade, and then investigate the FEMA cuts. It's all about taking responsibility for our actions, right?
Don’t let up Greg Casar!!! KEEP HAMMERING THEM ON LITERALLY EVERY LAWLESS ACT THEY COMMIT DAILY.
#Texas Abbot spent $148 million bussing migrants to democratic cities instead of buying early warning systems for storms!
St. Louis had tornado warning systems but the key personnel were missing to put them in operation. These are unforgivable consequences of a fascist regime that values theatre over people.
A puncture in both tires for that asshole.
Please address this as well. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...
Cuz she was busy on Instagram. And cuz Trump told her to purposely mess with FEMA so he can privatize it and then profit off it! 😡
There needs to be an inquiry to the response to any disaster to learn and hopefully improve. Unfortunately the wingnuts won't conduct one when they are on watch for obvious reasons and attempt point scoring when it's the dems turn.
...and the rest of the United States deserves answers about why people still live in Texas
Incompetence KILLS
Americans deserve answers from the #GOP… Do they care about ANYONE’S CHILDREN? Doesn’t appear so.
No, they don’t. They never did.
Noem needs to be removed from her position. She is a danger to our nation. I live in wildfire country and know the ramifications of delays. May she be haunted for the rest of her pathetic life and may her kids one day come to her and say.."Why did you do this? Shame on you!"
Making Trump out as some kind of Jesus or Deity has God pissed. As God fearing, anti-climate change fools, Y'all should just shut up & continue to prey ummmm, pray!
She will give you nothing but pain and suffering. History repeating itself!
But was it really terrible flooding that killed them or was it building an all girl's xtian camp in the middle of a terrible flash flood ZONE that killed them? I wouldn't camp WITH my kids in a flash flood zone much less without them...🙄 I'm beginning to think it was planned🤷🏽♀️
The camp was founded in 1926 ...
And should have been closed when it was an established flash flood zone
She was busy putting her makeup on, ffs😂
please file articles of impeachment
I can handle the truth.
Republicans are lying about what happened. Kristi Noem delayed help for 72 hours. She will lie to cover her evil ass. 😡
Ask about the flood zone of the cabins.
Noem was praying on her knees with an unknown lover for those 72 hoursand could not be disturbed
💔😢 "72 hours to approve search and rescue resources" What was she doing? Following orders? Getting her hair and makeup done? Laughing about the tragic situation that happened? The woman who justified shooting a puppy 'shoots Americans now?' 😠
C'mon, we all know that you will never get the answers you are looking for. These Trump appointees are extremely skilled at lying, deflection, and placing the blame always on someone else, most notably Joe Biden. And to top it off, Noem just doesn't fucking care about the deaths of these people.
They ain't gonna get them
Grill her!
When did Abbott request the aid? Immediately or did he wait until the 4th quarter?
Here Greg, I'm going to show you how to message. "Trump/Republican FEMA cuts and Abbots refusal to fund warning sirens has killed scores of Texans" It isn't hard Greg, it's called telling the truth.
Abbott accepts no responsibility ever
If Bondi is hiding names & won't release Epstein's files you think TX is going to do anything about flooding? This is want voters in TX voted for. Cut gov't spending. Therefore if the ppl can't manage their own safety that ain't the gov't problem . Right-KKK GOP voters? So quit crying foul.
Curious if anything actually went right?
Well.......absolutely NOTHING went right, so you can save sime time with your investigation.
It's time Greg bsky.app/profile/drha...
I guess 'photo shoot.' Do I win anything?
Why do you feel the need to add “what went right”? It seems Dems are always afraid to question the Trump administration & it even shows in your statements. So far, 129 people are dead: nothing went right. Sure they’ll say many more could’ve died but yes all of Kerr county could’ve died not the point
Start by asking why all the money went to law enforcement instead of to updated warning systems??? Note that there were firefighters aware of the developing situation and requesting a code red be issued.
Sounds like the STATE fucked this up! Go after Abbott for this. Texas is responsible for themselves firstly and then the feds should help. But he should have brought in Texas Guardsmen to help with rescue efforts. Abbott is the one that should hang for this! He is mismanaging the state.
#FireNoem
when the criminal party, maga, was in the minority, they did all they could to hinder FEMA. now their goal is to destroy it. not to improve FEMA but destroy it .
THROW HIM OUT!
Texans doesn’t get answers after school shootings and they won’t get answers regarding this either
I'm guessing she didn't really care about rescuing anyone, at first. More costly than burying them. 😞
Turns out these Republikkklan Nazis were offered a block grant to install warning systems from the Biden Administration and they turned it down! Roller Nazi and his court of fucking clowns has the blood of 300+ on their hands!
She is absolutely clueless and has no idea what her job description is!
Go for it! #WeThePeople are with you ☮️
What went wrong was continually voting for these clowns. Famous Maya Angelou quote “When someone shows you who they are believe them.”
What went right: What went wrong: • 100 years of permitting buildings in an unsafe location with 3 severe floods that wiped the place out and killed people • Firing 600 people responsible for weather prediction and warning • FEMA - 72 hours • Blaming "god" for human stupidity
#BlueMAGADelusions: The Ds' aren't fighting Fascism, they are fighting for control over a System already steeped in Fascism, the Ds' are just as much Corporate Fascists as the Rs' are. The Ds' just have more "Joy" as they are stabbing the Working Class in the Back. #GeneralStrike
Here is some Good News for Blue MAGA Cult, the Ds' almost certainly gain 4 Seats in the House at Midterms because at least one more of them is going to Die before November 2026, So hey, those are pretty impressive numbers. #BlueMAGADelusions #Gerontocracy www.thedailybeast.com/three-democr...
Please Shut Up. You Corporate Liberal Folks are Bashing Mamdani, probably the Best most Believable candidate the Ds' have produced in 50 Years. That is absurd, you are all just Corporate Pigs. bsky.app/profile/zohr...
Texas deserves shit we voted for this trash, and we knew about it. Texans are assholes
Did it go wrong, or did it go right according to Kristi Noem's plan?
Kristi Noem was at this cowgirl photoshoot. There was a stipulation that anything over $100K needed her signature. No pre positioning of assets, no boots on the ground the next morning. Basically no FEMA.
How much are these photo ops costing us?
She would look better in an orange jumpsuite behind bars
Trump in 3-2-1: Are you still talking about the flood?
They’re demanding answers. They still think what they say matters. In an authoritarian oligarchy, no one matters except for the authoritarian leader, aka Trump.

Texans don’t deserve anything. They voted for this.
I know what went wrong. Too many Texans believed all the lies spewed at them by The GQP for the last sixty years, then, a bunch of holier-than-thou (for no reason) Evangelical misogynist abusive Pastors started screaming (without proof) that Ds and BIPOC were the enemy, so Rs keep being elected.
Good. Thank you. We all deserve answers. Disasters can hit anywhere at any time.
Good or bad they need to review all . Hold people who screwed up accountable . Place people that will protect these communities in charge and give them the financial backing and power to fix the problems .
Everything went wrong.
Yes 🙌
Good luck getting them.....it too years on the shooting in Uvalde.
you also need to be asking about all the cuts to services and funding to national weather service and NOAA that probably contributed the most to the loss of life.
Texas voted to eliminate the safeguards for events like this. I don't see the big deal.
She was busy murdering puppies to suck out the adrenochrome and inject it into her crater pocked turd for a face.
We know what went wrong: 25 years of conservative christian rule. Maybe the state should stop looking up women's skirts and start running the state for the benefit of its residents.
Don't let Noem forget.
Why ask the question, you already know the answer? She was too busy packing on her makeup.
What went wrong!? - It's fucking Texass, the sewer of the continental USA.
She says it’s a state problem, so can you also explore how states can retain disaster funds they have traditionally remitted to the Feds? It’s pretty obvious her goal is to destroy FEMA; states could band together and help each other out directly. FEMA is great but she’s killing it on purpose.
Probably because anyone who is proud to shoot puppies has little empathy for children and adults in peril
Congressman where is the acting director of FEMA? He needs to answer first and then Sec Noem www.thehandbasket.co/p/fema-david...
Maybe we could start with Republicans not taking that 5 to 10 million to upgrade their systems that's a great start. Investigate that while you're at it.
I would ask: Why people are allowed to go to that flood plain and die over and over since 1987?, why the cuts to FEMA, NOAA and NWS when tragedies like this are the norm under her watch? Why no siren systems in place as preventive measures but $450 million for a concentration camp built in 6 days?
"Answers"? 🤣🤣🤣
What went right 😆😂😆
I didn't realize their saying RVs, homes, etc were way to close to the river and have been warned about for years.
She kills animals, that in itself should tell you shes 'off.' She cares for nothing but herself, and that's very obvious! ,yet another malignant narcissist in an admin full of them!
Pretty sure we know the root cause. It's because Texans keep electing Republicans.
👍👏👊
Thank you!
Trump went there not because he was empathetic, but because he wanted to change his negative narrative and probably made Abbott sign a non desclosure agreement before Trump would give any relief. It's more deep state cover up, and we will never get the real truth.
Please! It takes 72 hours to get a custom swift-water-rescue costume! That's not including her hair and waterproof makeup!
No need! Heartlessness, narcissisticisrm, lack of empathy and her need to plan her cosplay outfit and fake concern look!

Noem was busy killing dogs and detainees. Funding for sirens, NWS early warning, and emergency management coordination for central Texas went to a Florida swamp concentration camp, turning detainees into alligator shit. Thanks republicans. Great job.
She was waiting for all the puppies to die.
I suspect Noem just likes the power and attention. And it should be no surprise she can’t run a department - she couldn’t even train a puppy. 🤷♀️
Come on, she was busy being a rodeo princess.
Thank you!
Damn great! And the FEMA director freak, David Richardson(?), former Marine, has gone completely AWOL. PLEASE, CampMystic will just be a memory after 2 seasons of hurricanes and tornadoes w/ no response. Demand for someone, anyone, who knows @ emergency response, and gives a damn about the job.
Oh oh Cruella better get that Botox together😂😂
She was trying to pick out the best cosplay possible for the photo op.
I agree. As a Hill Country resident I want to know if the special session is really addressing the issues that plague those is rural Texas. Internet access, warning systems, cell service, etc
bsky.app/profile/af68...
Based upon the timing of the Medicaid cuts, Trump and friend fully expect democrates to be in control when all the bad shit that republicans voted for occurs. That is how the democrats keep getting blamed for shit the Republicans actual vote to do.
That was 'interesting' move🙄 There's No way Fascist tRump is going to allow Fair mid-terms election, if at all - Fascists doN't hand over power😈 My guess is move is more of 1.5-2 years after vote opportunity to spin Dems blame to his Dumb base bsky.app/profile/af68...
Because she had to decide which cosplay to put on.
Because she is miscast in her role.
Like the answers about Uvalde? This time it’s white Christian’s, not brown Christian’s. Let’s see how Texas, and the Christian nationalists they vote for, respond. Thought and prayers
Kristi Noem went wrong. The Trump administration went wrong.
You're getting what the majority of your state voted for, unfortunately.
Unfortunately Ted Cruz will try to block it. After all he endorsed the cuts to National Weather Service and FEMA
Sounds like Cruz needs to be blocked... everywhere he goes. His driveway, block his way when entering or exiting buildings, really make his life hell.
She probably couldn’t get out of her cowboy outfit fast enough😡
Nothing went wrong. Simple minded bigots got what they deserve.
It isn't just "Texans" that need this information. It's Americans. It's humans. We all want to know and we all want everyone to be okay. Thank you for standing up. #onehumanity
It could happen in another state!!
It will, during hurricane season when there are multiple storms.
The entire world knows what happens. They fired everyone who knew what they were doing, decimated the infrastructure to warn the vulnerable and nothing fails like prayer. Nine-year-old girls at the Christian camp could attest if they were still alive.
Trump,get rid of Trump,get rid of administration that is Trump: humans of America,this Trump in action,he is terrible for America,for humankind,get rid of Trump do nothing and his do nothing administration
GET THOSE ANSWERS! Don't let Noem sit there yakking nodding and agreeing with herself, WE KNOW SHES LYING when she does that. Please tell her. For me. I see her lying every damn day.
She doesn’t work weekends and Fridays are a half day for her…D’UH!
If you want to know what is going on, Fox and Friends has been on the ground with every single service available to them including FEMA yesterday they did a round table and spoke about what was going on turn on Fox and Friends. Don’t be afraid that’s the truth
These people don’t follow the law or care about y’all. Texas put a convicted felon in office with the competence of an unstable hammock & a governor who only cares about kickbacks. Uvalde is a clear example - they hate children, minorities & women. #VoteBlue
It’s gross incompetence to have someone who hasn’t been educated in Disaster Emergency Management Systems (DEMS) or Incident Command Systems (ICS) to lead an agency that handles FEMA. That is why so many people died. Trump, Noem, and everyone involved should be held accountable! #TrumpIncompetence
The STATE of Texas fucked up, but NOT doing anything to reduce flooding, AND not installing sirens. The delays from FEMA had little to know impact on the actual search and rescue efforts.
Good luck with that.
Give her a break! She was getting a facial, a massage, a mani/pedi, then going to Nordstrom’s for a fitting, then to Elizabeth Arden for hair and make-up!! The woman was busy!!!
ogfap.com/gifs/hot-fac...
At least it filled up her pumice stone pock face pores!
It's easy. She thought Texas was a blue state.
Don't forget the money by then gave them for the early warning system in 2021, why does this state keep pissing funds away. And lie about it, why lie about it
Well then quit f****** tweeting and get to work. Shut down the goddamn government
