More than 180 current and former FEMA employees signed the letter sent to the FEMA Review Council and Congress warning that FEMA's capacity to respond to a major disaster was dangerously diminished.

It's called a political purge, something that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao did to consolidate power. Call this what it is is NPR, it's naked totalitarianism. Trump is a murderous child rapist and you bring out the kid gloves. >:(

Whistleblowers fired. Problems solved. (Well actually the problem is worse now that we fired people in critical positions, but we're burying the whole thing.) Hey, look over there... Squirrel!!!

In the interest of public safety and disaster preparedness, Congress s/b all over this instead of wasting time, energy and taxpayer money rehashing past investigations that Trump has disparaged for yrs. when he didn’t like the outcome. Live up to your oaths, or give up your seats to people w/spines.

Now they will all be fired. Trump regime cares less about FEMA. If people get stuck or die during natural disasters he probably thinks it’s their fault, and they were not smart enough.

The important thing right now is to put some roadblocks in front of the Trump Train and slow it down. That means winning the midterms. The general election will be Phase 2.

No, I'm assuming that Republicans will gerrymander their brains out. But surrendering before a vote is cast is simply not an alternative. Unprecedented voter turn-out by Democrats and independents can offset a lot of cheating.

Does anyone else remember when MAGA was pushing the rumor that Biden’s FEMA was somehow doling out help according to which party you supported? As usual, it’s projection, and it will absolutely be their game plan.
