@chriskromm.bsky.socialAs western NC struggles to rebuild, FEMA has been severely weakened.
Since Trump returned to office, the agency has lost 4,300+ personnel, including more than half its senior executives; cycled through five administrators; and faced major delays in disaster grants and declarations. #helene
@iamdagny.bsky.socialIllegal immigrant, #MalariaTrump, goes to North Carolina to tell students they were resilient after Hurricane #Helene.
She forgets convicted FELON, adjudicated sex offender and alleged #Russian asset, donald #trump, refused to send federal aid, then fired 11,500 #FEMA workers.
Lies. Grifts. Crime.
@ses7463.bsky.socialWow.

@forbes.itEspecially as many of the clean up crews are not-white. Saw it after #Helene in #Asheville - messy low paid jobs. Also most roofers.. #FEMA
@rchady.bsky.socialWNC needs 5,000 housing units to recover from #Helene. The state says $5.1 billion has been spent on #recovery, with 347 projects completed. Policies should cut regulatory barriers that helped make housing scarce and expensive before the storm.
