Trump, Noem Continue Efforts to Dismantle FEMA
Tap title to read story
Reports of Donald Trump abandoning plans to dismantle FEMA are misleading. While using terms like "rebranding" and "reorganizing," the White House continues efforts to weaken the agency, aligning with long-standing right-wing conspiracy theories about FEMA. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem openly advocates for FEMA's elimination, hindering disaster relief efforts, as evidenced by slow responses to recent Texas floods and call center layoffs. This reflects a broader Trumpist view of government focused on benefiting the wealthy and harming those they dislike, rather than aiding citizens.
