CNN: According to four officials inside FEMA.. a new rule that any expected expenditure over $100,000 needed sign off from Noem slowed the federal response.
The sources tell us that FEMA's deployment of urban search and rescue teams, which are typically deployed in anticipation they might be needed instead, was delayed until Monday, three days after the flood.
Now, a source also tells us that a request Texas made for FEMA aerial imagery to aid in the search was also delayed, waiting for Secretary Noem's approval.
Now, additionally, multiple FEMA officials say that they were taken aback by the agency's relatively limited response in the immediate aftermath of the disaster
I told you the State of Florida was LYING to us.
Alligator Alcatraz isn’t for the worst of the worst. Not only are immigrants with no active criminal charges being sent there, they’ve sent DACA recipients with LEGAL status to this disgusting detention camp.
WTH is happening???
A government ban on Hungary’s annual Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than in past years.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban had warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences” for participants. But the warnings only turned what’s usually a modest event into a mass rally against his government.

ICE at Home Depot on Sunset this morning.
SIDEBAR: Yesterday I said to a friend from East LA, “At some point these masked, anonymous ‘ICE agents’ are going to roll up on the wrong people and get capped.”
She said she was told, “ICE is purposely avoiding the gang areas for their own safety.”
That says it all. Trump claimed he’d go after criminals and big talk about deporting gangs, but they’re out here targeting workers and families, while steering clear of actual gangs.
Talk about a MAGA hoodwink.
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.
All this sweet bastard ever did was instruct us to pound cheese like we were animals and fill the ice trays with orange juice. Weird fucking agenda but he was so goddamn likable he somehow sold us on it.

The day you fuckers decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, Ivanka's trademarks from China, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back into the White House, is the day we stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground."
I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.
@RichMuny @KamalaHQ They have an abortion initiative on the ballot. Everyone who votes in Florida is voting either for or against the ban as part of that initiative. 🙄
