Judge declines to force #FEMA to reimburse news stations for the cost to them of updating the country's national alert system.

At stake $38M+ for the Next Generation Warning System funds that FEMA has placed a hold on.

Pretty astonishing given that a large swath of the country just got hit this past weekend by a huge, dangerous storm that generated 80 tornadoes & 304 tornado watches.

I noted over the weekend that "It's impossible to conclude the staggering mishandling of #Covid was anything but a DELIBERATE attempt at #PopulationControl when they blow chance to redeem themselves by getting ahead of #Measles & #BirdFlu.

But now in a 2nd term, not only are they AGAIN promoting Medical Quakery ensuring more deaths, but they also abolished #USAID, assisting #genocide in #Gaza (and possibly #Ukraine), and gutting #FEMA… all ensuring many more deaths.

I don't know if the people dismantling everything good/helpful/positive about the federal gov't think this far ahead (doubtful), but…

…to put all this stuff back after #DonnieDumbass does away with it… #VOA, #FEMA, thousands of #IRS agents, #Superfund Cleanup, #DeptOfEducation, etc…

…it's going to cost SO much money just to put everything back, #Republicans are going to run on "#Democrats want to explode the size of government" for the next two decades. 🤬

#fema is not coming to help. #tornados #Missouri
#cameronHamilton, a local here who lost his party primary last year for #congress, was appointed to dismantle #fema, and needs to be tracked down by the #media. #joshhawley and the rest of the #magat delegation, will be of no help.

Call them anyway. Flood the Capitol Hill switchboard

Call your Missouri Governor. They asked—-nay prayed—-for this.

CNN · Violent tornado outbreak underway in South from storm that has killed at least 33By Eric Zerkel

Latest reports say at least 20 died in severe storms in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and other states overnight. Heavy property damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure. There are more tornado warnings today.
I sincerely hope that FEMA has enough remaining staff and resources to help these people. 😔

ABC News · Severe storms in multiple states leave dozens dead and injuredBy Melissa Griffin

Don't know who is behind them, but propaganda accounts on X/Twitter are falsely accusing FEMA of not doing its job in previous disasters in response to complaints today about the Trump administration's defunding of FEMA as fires, floods, and tornadoes spread across the United States.

So the right-wing propaganda machine is fully funded and operating smoothly and efficiently.
