Trump news at a glance: Trump tours Texas disaster zone as administration dodges questions over future of Fema
The GuardianSaturday, July 12, 2025 at 1:38:21 AM
President Trump visited flood-ravaged Texas, praising the disaster response even as his administration sidestepped questions about his push to dismantle FEMA—the very agency coordinating relief efforts. Meanwhile, the State Department started sending out termination notices to over 1,350 employees, hinting at broader upheaval in federal agencies.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about disaster management—it’s a snapshot of Trump’s governing style: touting successes while quietly advancing controversial policies. The potential scrapping of FEMA raises alarms about long-term emergency preparedness, especially as climate-related disasters intensify. The layoffs add another layer, signaling a shakeup in how the federal government operates. If you care about how crises get handled (or don’t), this story’s worth watching.
