America in Crisis – FEMA Funding Cuts
As natural disasters cause more and more damage every year, republicans are leaving Americans without a safety net. Recent DOGE cuts have eliminated a third of the full time workers from the payroll. This means that the next time a major tornado or flood hits Northwest Indiana, there will be fewer trained people to assist with emergency management and a lot less resources. President Trump has long been a vocal critic of FEMA and has threatened to dismantle the entire agency. He recently canceled billions of dollars in disaster preparedness grants.
