Trump admin cracks 'garbage' joke after fatal blizzard it wouldn't help blue states fight

President Donald Trump's officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency cracked mean jokes Wednesday about a deadly blizzard to which they were refused to commit resources.The comment appeared in a new Politico report on White House officials who overrode FEMA experts and refused to approve disaster relief for states that voted against Trump in the presidential election.The blizzard in question took place earlier this year, causing deaths and affecting New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Email chains reviewed by Politico confirm that agency officials had already determined New York met the criteria for disaster relief.According to the report, "snow assistance was targeted for elimination last year in a memo by FEMA leadership as a way to reduce spending. Congress pushed back on that idea — a signal the administration may have disregarded." Since 1999, 82 percent of snow assistance from FEMA has gone to states controlled by the Democratic Party — a disparity caused by the fact that Democrats tend to be stronger in northern states with colder climates.When an agency spokesperson was confronted about the denials by Politico, they responded with a disparaging joke.“If the federal government is paying for regular operations like snow removal, what next? Garbage removal?” said the spokesperson. “The federal government’s role is not to fund routine functions.”Under the Trump administration, FEMA has been involved in other controversies as well, including reports that their resources are being diverted to "pre-crime" enforcement against terrorism, and a senior official who was ousted after claiming God teleported him to a Waffle House.

It costs $183 to save 100,000 jobs: Why Trump’s trade doctrine is a no-brainer for America

President Donald Trump just declared to thousands of American manufacturing workers in Michigan, “You were sold out and betrayed by globalist politicians” who let foreign countries “steal your jobs, pillage your factories, and then loot the crown jewels of American industry.” Under Trump’s leadership, we are reducing our dependence on foreign countries for materials essential […]

Thune headed for 'worst scenario' as MAGA grows and allies disappear: report

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is facing the very real prospect of losing control of his caucus as his close confidants disappear and his chamber is overrun with MAGA fanatics.According to a report from Axios, what awaits Thune after the midterm election will likely be a "nightmare."The "worst scenario" is becoming increasingly plausible if Republicans retain Senate control while Democrats flip the House, leaving Thune trapped between an emboldened President Donald Trump with nothing to lose and a hostile lower chamber ready to impeach the president, with the Axios report stating, "Getting anything done will be close to impossible.”Trump will have carte blanche in his final two years. The president's demands—pass the SAVE America Act, nuke the filibuster, confirm controversial nominees—will intensify without Trump facing any electoral consequences. Thune will be forced to choose between capitulating or defying a president with zero interest in compromise.Adding to Thune's woes will be the departure of many of his close allies."Moderate voices like Sens. John Cornyn (Texas), Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Bill Cassidy (La.) will be gone after being forced out by Trump," the report notes. "Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) also faces a tough reelection fight. Thune chose four senators to be in his original leadership inner circle: Steve Daines (Mont.), Markwayne Mullin (Okla.), Cornyn and Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.). They'll all likely be gone next year."According to the report, the Senate could see more "intra-party" fighting, similar to what House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)A) has been dealing with."He could face more pressure to vote on partisan bills, push through controversial nominees or do away with the filibuster, Axios is report before adding, "And it will make nuts-and-bolts legislation, like funding the government, anything but routine."
