Hmm could we have known about this beforehand? Oh wait this was detailed in the project 2025 playbook as described on page 135 and elsewhere? It's sad so many citizens voted to live under a death cult lifestyle and it's annoying how mainstream news didn't report the threat consistently.

He is doing this to save the Federal Government a buck!👎 He doesn't care about the victims!👎 He can give less money to the states this way!👎 Be prepared for more TRAGEDY, HOMELESSNESS,and proportions of EPIC DESPAIR!💔💔 DISGRACEFUL!!!💔😡 #FEMA #Congress #Impeach #Trump #Hurricane #Flood #Tornado

Just remember: America's modern social welfare state grew out of the collective hardships of Great Depression. American's came away from that experience with a universal belief that we were better off if we stick together. Rugged individualism and oligarchy were a proven failure.

Or that the vast majority of the people who learned the lessons of the Great Depression and WW2 in real time have died, and we're left with people who came or age during the pull yourself up by your bootstraps Reagan years. It's a real problem.

Does North Carolina regret voting for this guy because he promised to take care of them after Hurricane Helene, accusing President Biden of not helping them because they were a red state? Fools.

Having 50 states duplicating services will end up costing more and providing inferior quality. Trump and Musk's cost-cutting provides short term political fodder but long term pain at an increased cost. False economies on the grandest scale.

With the defunding of all these government programs, I think my federal taxes should go to my state instead. They do much so much better at this than this administration ever will. And I don’t want my tax dollars going into the pockets of the wealthy.

Enjoy your destruction, red states. Keep voting against yourselves, you fucking morons. On the bright side, the blue states are going to have more money when we get our FEMA rebates! I assume there will be a coupon we can send in since we pay for FEMA for the freeloader red states.

I know schadenfreude is a hell of a drug; But, as a Dem in a GOP Gulf coast state all this “Eat it red states, you voted for this!” reads as hyper-ghoulish. The moral justification from living in a 52% blue state sure must be nice.

Force the fossil fuel industry to PAY for the HARM they cause like tobacco companies paying for lung cancer treatment and deaths. If you cause harm to others like fossil fuel companies and their crimes(wildfires, droughts, heatwaves, asthma increases, cancer increases and stronger hurricanes).

Why pay federal taxes? No FEMA, NOAA, Vaccines, Medical research, education, white supremacists in the military, using military against citizens, no regulations, FAA, FTC, FDA, EPA, selling national monuments to the rich, no staffing at national parks, our data has been sold to Palantr.

Why are the states responsible for natural disasters but Trump wants to invade a state with the military over a trump manufactured problem? No federal $ for hurricanes but yes to fed $ for a military parade & using military against peaceful protesters. Could a journalist ask him that?

Sounds good. Have fun with that one FLORIDA, TEXAS and TORNADO ALLEY. Last time I checked it was red states almost exclusively that mooch off of the rest of us with all their FEMA claims. Once this is enacted there’s no take backs. I’m all for self inflicted wounds for fascists & racists.

So, no federal help to states suffering calamitous natural disasters. However, if you want federal help with a violent military led persecution of peaceful protesters, then money is no object. Welcome to the Trump dictatorship.

So, all those Red states that pay into the Federal government and rely on handouts, will have to find their own funding for disasters! The dismantling of the union!

Then this admin will start suing states because they are not doing disaster relief in a way they find acceptable. States rights but only done the way this admin wants.

how are states supposed to do this when they are in the midsts or aftermath of a disaster that has wiped out their resources, and communication? this administration has no fucking idea how anything works

FEMA will be replaced by a simple system of royal largesse in which those who show loyalty to trumpty dumpty and give him expensive gifts will get help and mostly blue states will get punished.😏

If everything goes back to the states, then states like California keep all of their money…. Those red states are about to quickly realize the blue ones make most of the…. The whole hurricane coast is about to be screwed. You are killing your own voters!

republicans want to unlawfully defund federal programs and throw the burden to the states but still control states rights like trump illegally sending troops to Los Angeles 💥 WTF ARE WE PAYING FEDERAL TAXES FOR??? #RESIST #FASCISM #STATESRIGHTS

Yes - absolutely!💙 71% of America’s GDP comes from BLUE COUNTIES. We’re the economic engine of the USA 💥CALIFORNIA'S the 4th largest economy in the WORLD now and GIVES $81.3 billion in federal funds. Texas TAKES $71.1 billion from the same. We’re subsidizing red states & get trump BS in return!

Donald "Epstein Files" Trump and his sycophants are short sided fools. This is going to fail most horribly in states which receive more federal money than they put in. Coincidentally these will be the same states where Trump won the popular vote, but don't worry, he'll just say its Biden's fault.

MAGA in FL &the rest of the RedStates R going 2feel the TrumpSting this fall. &, there ain't a right wing conspiracy theory blaming Democrats that's going 2work this coming hurricane season.The blame will fall on the POTUS & his adm. which MAGA foolishly returned 2the White House. Follow Me!

134 million in military spending by troops sent to LA illegally. A 100 million military parade in DC for the birthday king. A big beautiful bill that will increase military spending, cut social security, end healthcare and now the end to FEMA....tornados, floods, droughts eh who cares......not GOP

It’s time for donor states to stop donating to the federal government if they are going to be required to fund all of their own emergency operations. Red states will sadly be own their own.

The main reason he wants to dismantle FEMA is so any future federal aid will be controlled by him So any state needing aid must grovel to him first. And any aid he does agree to give will be conditional upon the states doing what he wants first

So..let me see what you guys refuse to headline: "Trump Makes Authoritarian Moves to Suggest Making Sole Discretionary Decisions in Emergency Funding to States While Also Making the Authoritarian Move to Making Sole Discretionary Decisions to Deploy Military Against US Citizens." I fixed it for you.

I think he—along with most of his southern supporters—fails to realize that most federal funding goes to southern states. Killing FEMA hurts them in a way that they can’t possibly mitigate unless they raise or levy new taxes.

Republicans used to be all about states rights…until federalizing the National Guard made that view problematic. Flip flopping on issues—by both parties—appears justifiable when it supports a desired narrative.

This is bunker logic. Let the floods come—as long as the wealthy are sealed in. Naomi Klein calls it End Times Fascism: Governance by abandonment. Collapse as strategy. Relief dismantled, suffering privatized. #EndTimesFascism #DisasterCapitalism #NaomiKlein

theguardian.comThe rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra TaylorThe governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them

Republicans dont want to govern. At this point Im not sure why we have a congress… everything is getting pushed to the states… keep money in state. Why shoukd our money go to trump & co? We’re funding his $500M 4 year vacations to Mar-a-lago & Bedminister. Let him pay it out of his own pocket.

In the last three weeks,severe weather outbreaks,including tornadoes,have caused an estimated $9 to $11 billion in damages across the central and eastern U.S.,according to AccuWeather.This includes damage to property, infrastructure,and economic losses. There Will Be NO HELP FROM FEMA.

So now we have to have Fema like support, knowledge and equipment and available funding in every state rather than one central spot. How is that efficiency?
