With the worst of hurricane season still ahead, Trump and his cronies’ dismantling of FEMA has gutted the agency’s ability to respond to disasters and keep people safe. These brave FEMA employees tried to sound the alarm, so naturally Trump is punishing them. Beyond shameful.
If the South gets hit by a bad hurricane in the next couple years I’m really nervous about what’s going to happen.
Well this slug (sorry slugs) lives in FL, may he reap the karma he deserves.
I think that the south depend more on FEMA than Northern states. Trump has it in for California so they are screwed
I hope his MAGA supporters (mostly down south), get what they deserve when the hurricanes come through with no help from NOAA or FEMA since their fascist leader stripped those agencies.
Thank you for sharing, @vanhollen.senate.gov. The #FEMA36 risked their careers to protect the American people & were punished. Stand with them. Add your name 👉 www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina... #standupforscience #sufs
I’m voting for a 30’ storm surge at Mar-A-Largo 2025!
Any fact that doesn’t comport with the idiot dictator’s delusional worldview must be crushed.
You're right, it's not just about the storm, it's about the storm surge of incompetence that's been flooding our emergency response system.
Good thing hurricanes usually hit the blue states — oh wait
Reposting from March 2025. Time to bring it back. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...
And the adults never even checked in this time around.
How dare these employees warn of possible problems that need to be fixed. If FEMA screws up, we will just blame Sleepy Joe!
I’m wondering but, are the maga cult 100% sure that when it’s all said and done, they will be free from the consequences of their stupidity?
` It is almost like the regime is being run by a foreign adversary.... How else can we explain the ceaseless acts of wanton destruction -- _from the inside_ ? `
Thou shalt kneel before the almighty dear leader!
OK then Senator what's the plan? Just like in other areas your party is missing substantial opportunities for information warfare.
Fascism is HERE!!! Silencing or punishing anyone who opposes this administration. When are people going to wake up???!!!😡😡
Why? Who does this help? How does it make America great?
Sadly, it will be the south and mid-west who will likely suffer with natural disasters for which there will be no federal response. Maybe that is what has to happen for the folks in those areas to realize Trump is attacking them just not the same as in “blue” cities…..all Americans are under attack
MILLER is punishing them through Trump. Trump is most likely unattuned to what is happening in the country and world. He's gone on to his own world. Miller is pulling the puppet strings and Miller is, as if not more, vindictive than Trump.
So irresponsible. This is an important article news.climate.columbia.edu/2025/08/25/t...
He needs to be called out by every politician & every news reporter. Trump is a bully, a threat, and dangerous.
I’m down here in Floriduh. We are going to dress as conservative Jews before the next big hurricane. Nothing against Jews, but Trump said if a state doesn’t support Israel we won’t get federal disaster help.
Another one of your constituents, with an open asylum case, got abducted by ICE. WE DEMAND ACTION! https://gofund.me/bb59d045
ALL of the people that the Orange Stooge has fired need to band together and take his ass to court. They will surely win as he has spouted revenge/retribution towards them all. Fired because they disagreed with his sick demented mind. He is totally unfit for office. Wake up Republicans
It's what maga voted for.
Passive extermination (PE) & removal of natural disaster protections. In parallel, while installing the lie that vaccines doesn't work & they are an hoax, they give ground to insurance companies to not cover vaccine cost, forcing people to assume the cost OR face death (PE), population reduction
Shameful? No, it's ILLEGAL
On the bright side, the MAGA folks in the path of the next disaster stopped those damned libs from trying to protect them from disasters. WINNING!
If Trump were deliberately trying to destroy American democracy, would he do anything differently?
He is only interested in putting people in place so he can stay in office. To h… with helping others people not is he interested in enhancing agencies that do help others. Sad
Now FEMA is even less prepared. Good god he’s a moron.
FEMA has been flawed for decades. After Hurricane Wilma, FEMA paid to have my rich neighbor's salt water fish tank and fish $4,000, but refused to help me with my dead refrigerator (a vital need). Cronyism is part of both political parties.
Yay both sidesism!!!
no need to reply to anything, bluesky is flawed and I have no idea what original post this was from.
We paid our taxes in good faith, assuming & expecting fed govt to #Protect us after #Diasters & #Respond to needs for food & shelter. Contact your reps in #Congress to see what they’re doing to get these pd for benefits restored. If not satisfied with their answer, #Vote them out! #YourVoteMatters!
His response to a disaster will be to blame Biden, obviously. What a cunt he is.
More dictator shit. Republicans, if you think by staying silent you’ll never be affected by Trump, think again. He’s destroying our democracy, economy, world standing, education systems, health systems, free press, social safety nets and more. He hates us all - GOP, Independents and Dems alike!

I believe Trump could retain popularity with his base despite a new Katrina, 9/11, or pandemic. Would 2/3 or 3/3 matter?
Trump doesn’t care about anyone but Trump. His main goal, at this point, is the facade of being a savior and peacemaker and only because he wants something for himself. He wants an award.
Anyone who believes he will keep them safe and protect them during a disaster has set themselves up for massive disappointment.
Look back at how Trump “helped” Americans during the pandemic—-sth over 1 million deaths. We would be better off without his kind of help.
The problem is that most of the people who believe he will help them..will keep believing that & blame everything that goes wrong on anyone else but him.
God, send that next disaster directly to West Palm Beach. Obliterate it. Maybe that will get the message across.
Happy hurricane season.
Republicans are allowing this goddammit. fuck ‘em all.
The Venn Diagram of states affected by hurricanes and states who voted for Trump is a circle.
You would have thought Americans learned their lesson the 1st time they elected the flon. But no, they didn't so they elected him again. Sorry but you deserve whatever he throws at you.
Thank you for Standing Up for FEMA @vanhollen.senate.gov
If there’s a hurricane, it will hit one of the red MAGA states along the gulf or southeast. FEMA won’t be in a position to help. They voted for this. Let the lessons begin!
That’s what it’s going to take. However many that didn't vote for him will be impacted. Many of those working poor and non white. A recurring theme in this admin many innocents suffer at the hands of a very few well off thirsty for power and wealth.
Those states are going to get what they voted for. Democracy in action, Senator.
I unwillingly live in a red state and didn't vote for that. bsky.app/profile/runt...
Oh, I know. Hence the quip about democracy. Enough of the state voted for a terrible person to doom everyone in the state. It’s a damn shame.
Not all people in the Red southern states voted for Trump; lots of us ARE Dems who voted for Kamala Harris. Try not to be so generalized when it comes to people.
I feel for the blue islands among the oceans of red.
Hooray for gutsy FEMA employees, and shame on their incompetent boss.
Trump's persistent effort to silence experienced and knowledgable voices is a very big deal.
Trump is at war with The United States of America. I’m not sure how long it will take people to realize this.
Nothing special about 🇺🇸, trump doesn’t discriminate between countries…Turd Reich against all who refuse to bend the knee… History doesn’t generally go well with a nation/individual fighting on all fronts
tRump has no business doing any business!
Congress could do something about this. Reach out to your R colleagues and start impeachment proceedings in the house.
When the next one hits and people lose everything, send them to Mar a Lago and Bedminster. There is plenty of space and as long as the felon is in DC, no crime
No worries! He and his GOP puppets will pray for the victims, and maybe toss some paper towels.
Any chance you could get Schumer to write a strongly worded letter?
if we lucky, god will bless us with a light season.
Despicable. ALL dissent on ANY subject will be silenced. Hmm. Sounds fascist to me.
Par for the trump course.
Senator, thank you. However, we need to remove the word. “shameful“ from these communications. We need better, more forceful words and better, more forceful actions to stop the encroachment of authoritarianism and fascism and cruelty in this country. Thank you.
Oh well. It's most adversely going to affect those who voted for and still support him. After Helene, as I sat and watched FEMA funded response team after team roll into my town to put it back together I heard time and time again how FEMA does nothing, where's FEMA, such a waste. Now they find out.
We need to remember the blatant stupidity! Consequences!
Maybe all civil service workers need to strike for a few weeks. See how things go.
I’m so fucking sick of reading, over and over, phrases like “beyond shameful”. No fucking shit, DO something or fucking inspire, or rock the goddamn boat. “Shameful, unbelievable, fascistic, beyond the pale”. If you have a platform, and platform, GO FUCKING HARDER AND AGGRESSIVELY.
