    Politicizing a national disaster shows that he will stoop to anything to try to win

  2. It is scaring people from asking for help, with scare tactics saying that FEMA will take your home.

  3. People don’t seem to know that FEMA personnel don’t wear military uniforms. Yellow and orange vests, and polos…that is the federal response. While virtually all towns have resources now, I think they should have put out the message that outlying residents need to go to the power/resources, the power/resources are not coming to you anytime soon.

    Roseanne Barr already said it, so I’m waiting for Trump to make the claim that immigrants are eating white babies cause he’s just saying whatever shit will be a good fear mongering tool nowadays.

    More second hand embarrassment from north of the 49th. Let’s turn the oxygen off folks

    People need to wake up.

    Mayorkas’ comments led some Republicans to accuse the Biden administration of diverting funds intended for disaster relief, which a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Newsweek was “completely false.”

    President Joe Biden said Monday he may call Congress back into session during a break to pass emergency supplemental funding, as some lawmakers from states hit by Helene have urged.

    Members of Congress representing states impacted by the hurricane actually voted against disaster relief funds for their constituents. That’s the True headline here.

  7. Trumps lies are really projections. Trump’s own administration officials have claimed that Trump tried to do exactly what he accused Biden of doing with California. Hold back aid where he believed the constituents didn’t support him. What a scoundrel.
