750$ one time payment per American Families...2000$ per ILLEGAL every month...How's that work ???

[mschenandlerbong]

The local residents are probably the best source on who is there, and what they're doing.

This woman needs to go to a job she can handle. Maybe something in the janitorial field. It's not "Your Agency, " FEMA gets its funding from the taxpayer. It is OUR agency and this person is incompetent.

[judyhudgens]

Fema needs to be Audited as soon as Trump gets in.

[donhamm]

Why is NC law enforcement and search & rescue saying they have yet to see FEMA show up in sufficient numbers to provide assistance?

[Alapaha]

She is so full of it! Can anyone ever tell the truth!

MISAPPROPRATION OF FUNDS, 5 STAR HOTELS IN HI while citizens slept in the street

[thegood]

One word: "Misappropriation". Period.

[ritadyer]

Quit downplaying how many have passed. One family alone lost 11 family members. The locals know the truth and I have family up there. It’s 200 in just some communities. The government doesn’t want to tell the truth.

[TROUBLESHOOTER]

I'm from the UK, and I want people from the US to know that our government is also sending hundreds of millions of the taxpayer's money, weapons, and other aid to Ukraine 😡
We really need to start a mass movement of ordinary people across the Western world to stand up and say, "enough is enough"

My thoughts & prayers are with everyone in the South East of the USA that's affected by these hurricanes and the terrible flooding 🙏

[daveruckert]

Thank you, Mr. Trump, for donating housing to Florida Power and Light utility workers at the Doral while they prepare for the hurricane.

[rubencontreras]

I’m sorry, I know the job must be tough…..but, with the amount of money that is budgeted to the organization, there is no excuses. Case closed, get it done!!! And you should also know where every penny is spent, in the REAL world every job makes us accountable for every penny why can’t they be held to the same standards.

[terinorwood]

Yeah, they moved all those FEMA people into hotels just like they did in Lahaina Maui hanging out at the swimming pool having cocktails that’s what FEMA is doing

[basiclawprof]

Let's clarify the "over 100 open disaster declarations" comment. A single state with 100 counties, each of which declares "disaster" accounts for...well...100 "open disaster declarations." Criswell counted on the public misconstruing her words to suggest that FEMA is overworked and overburdened already and their perceived inaction in current crises is (tacitly) therefore excusable. FEMA is NOT excused. They have failed so far. Let's see if they can redeem themselves....

[Patrick-vd]

Yep just like the Secret Service the first time at Butler, Pa having people working in a job that isn’t the one they hired them for.

[georgehenderson]

You can believe the Wikipedia definition of FEMA in the blue box, or you can believe this one:
Free Entry Migrants Assistance

[MikaelaMooney-lfie]

I live in Fort Myers. A tornado just happened right down the street from me. A residents front door got sucked into their home and their roof got ripped off. Now the cats are missing. There’s so much wind and tornadoes. It hasn’t even made landfall yet. I started hearing ppl screaming outside. I hope everyone is okay and I’m praying for everyone’s safety. God be with us all.

[randallcheek]

Defund fema and send the funds to the states directly!

[undergroundkustomz]

Did this chick just minimize the number of dead???? Regardless this ain't right 😡

[auburnjewels]

What's up with the dei fema administrator? We are so fooked.
