It’s hurricane season y’all. DHS/FEMA is furloughed and partner communications are currently prohibited. Thanks to Kristy Noem, Karen (w/e), and their leadership in this administration. These limitations are coming from the top down

Must have been one of those 100k+ contracts she couldn't get to because she was too busy stuffing her pockets making commercials.
McCook Lake South Dakota had a devastating flood. She never applied for FEMA money to help those people. She sent the national guard to guard the border with Mexico. She would not send them in to help the people of McCook Lake. Noem is a terrible person and should not be in go...
Sadly her constituents in SD most likely were totally OK with it, because they are being fed algorithm based propaganda about the millions of illegals flooding the border, something they really need to be concerned with in *South Dakota*. Same with FEMA money, all sorts of ...
*Tornado, not hurricane
I understand the need for specificity, but in the instance of extreme governmental incompetence.. does it really matter?
She can't be bothered to renew a $200k contract to track these tornados, but she can spend $140 MILLION on an ad campaign. That's more expensive than most blockbuster Hollywood movies.
Don't be so inconsiderate. She needed those two planes and had to make those commercials. Our citizens can get by on thoughts and prayers.
Personally I'm sorry. But to quote numerous Republicans in the past, thoughts and prayers.
Maybe they should have said the tracking tool is hiding immigrants. That’s the only way to get their attention nowadays
Religious conservatives do love restricting and removing access to basic tools that serve to save lives and get work done efficiently.
That stuff happens when the head of an agency micromanages every contract.
I can't tell whether I am annoyed that they are running through every lesson previously learned by inexperienced government officials and it is hurting people, or please that they are being slowed down by these dumb mistakes while the clock ticks down to 2029.
