Wait if FEMA is saying they have resources and they need to respond why don't they have resourses and why are they not responding

[dennisreed]

That's odd. Just a week ago, he said they didn't have the money. You people posted it yourself.

3 hours ago - « FEMA grapples with strained resources »

Now - « We absolutely have the resources »

[bobevans]

Mayorca said they don't have the funds for the next hurricane

[seeharvester]

You see? The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
All it took was a few fine republicans bringing the shortfalls of FEMA to national attention and we finally get action.

[niclewis]

Congress should come back in session and pass a supplemental Bill for additional disaster relief funding. Helene and Milton will soon expend what's currently in the budget.

Wondering about the people still on highways on late evacuation.

[qlove]

We are the richest country on earth we shouldn't pick and choose who we help!!

[americanpatriot-tguj]

Then why did he say a week ago that they were running out? Milton has a lot of variables to it, but yet he knows he has enough? A full audit needs to be done on anything he touches.

[bordereau]

Weird that last week Mayorkas said they were out of work of fiction. Call your congressional reps and make them get TN, NC and GA help

[floriderllc]

Oh now they have the money? So Alejandro Mayorkas was lying?

[jockyoung]

It is so sad when the job of our first respnders is made harder by the intentional lies of a Presidential candidate. And it is sadder that his supporters apparently think that's OK.

[MrBerserkinTime]

They ✨️magically✨️ have the funds for TWO hurricanes?! 🤨🤨🤨

[Pookie-cm]

Mayorkas said no more funds. I heard him..

[jasonmaclean]

Gosh... It's almost like msnbc is gaslighting us with this administration🤨

[diamondlion]

If only Speaker Johnson would pass increased funding for FEMA, disgraceful to play politics with this. Congress controls spending, they need to act!

[redkritter]

Weird how suddenly they have money after saying they don’t have enough?

[Eatshhhushi]

Republicans voted against funding FEMA! Stop asking why FEMA does have enough resources m. Ask the GOP! Red states needed FEMA help the most and yet they voted for people who want to take it away.

[MM-moyc]

So apparently Mayorkas doesn’t know what he’s doing? Again?

[DeltaTango]

You just posted a video saying resources were strained😂🤡
