Congress put those FEMA protections in place after Katrina for a reason. Gross abuse of power.

They hired a bunch of libs. Trump should be able to fire a bunch of libs.

FEMA workers aren't campaign staff. One mistake doesn't mean it needs to end.

FEMA is one of the few agencies where extra capacity is literally the point. You staff it for the rare case of three disasters happening at once.

Remember when Fema avoided houses with Trump signs? Fire more

If Congress set legal limits on how FEMA staffing can be changed, DHS has to follow them.

Trump doesn't give a fuck
