Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) accused President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday of crippling the Federal Emergency Management Agency by firing key staff before this month's catastrophic Texas floods, saying the cuts slowed life‑saving aid.
What Happened: Schumer's X post came after Hill Country floodwaters killed at least 120 people and left 170 missing when the Guadalupe River jumped 37 feet on July 4. He said the White House "weakened America's disaster‑response ecosystem" and demanded a full investigation.
