Senator Schumer calls actions by FEMA after fatal Texas floods alarming as public has right to know
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer says in daily floor remarks that the facts are alarming as FEMA contracts stalled while survivors called for help, vital staff positions sat vacant, rescue and recovery efforts were bogged down by bureaucratic choke points, and these are not just bad breakdowns but may constitute a dereliction of duty by those entrusted to protect the public in times of crisis, while Americans do not support the administration making radical DOGE cuts to agencies like FEMA because these cuts had devastating consequences in life and death situations like a natural disaster, and Americans do not support chaos from the government when disasters strike or red tape that leaves people stranded.
