Trump's DOGE cuts cost lives in Texas flooding disaster. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS

Speaking at a press conference alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was asked by a reporter whether the fact that he and many others did not receive warnings from the National Weather Service until 7 a.m. was a “fundamental failure of the federal government’s responsibility to keep people safe.” Noem argued that the technology was “ancient” and that the Trump administration is working to upgrade it. There is no proof of this. - 07/07/2025.

The disaster agency Trump is trying to end.

Abbott halting words and praising of Trump and Noem makes him sound as though he had been ordered to praise them.
