Did Trump's DOGE gut the weather service and removed key personnel that could have issued warnings/alerts that might have mitigated the natural disaster?

The answer: Maybe, but we honestly don't know. Local officials are blaming the federal agency....but are they doing that because they dropped the ball? It could be both. And, let's face it, the DOGE cuts are sure to have some impact on the early warning system. I mean, it isn't like the US is a tiny country with one weather pattern. But, Texas is sort of used to have heavy rain. I recall about a decade ago they had similar flash floods but fewer deaths, but it is not easy to compare the size and scale of those disasters (though I remember hearing a report saying the state got so much rain in such a short period of time it could have sunk the state in 3 inches of water)...

Here's another thing to consider: Texas is a GOP state. Its state leaders are Republicans, the Senators and and congress people are Republican. Did they do enough to help with the aftermath? We know Trump was golfing in Florida and Ted Cruz was in Greece. Now, as much as I despise Cruz, I am not going to slam him for being out of the country, because what could he really do if he was there, besides grandstand and probably get in the way...And, there was a press conference either on Sunday or Monday where Gov. Abbott and Kristi Noem spent the first 30 minutes congratulating themselves and Trump on the response....before getting into the important information. It's like they felt the needed to kiss the Dear Leader's ass to ensure FEMA support...an organization that is now run by a dude who didn't realize there was a hurricane season...

Is there anything Texas should have done? Like created flood paths and what not to either contain or mitigate these types of floods? I mean, California got raked over the coals due to their apparently poor forestry management. Can we say the same thing about Texas? I mean, it's not like this doesn't happen every year...

This is a laughable comment...DOGE didn't cut all funding...they cut the stupid ones...but of course TDS will go through this...it's a primary symptom.

Life goes on. Not every word coming from the President is going to be weighty, somber or profound in the wake of a tragedy.

Netanyahu has been at the White House the past two days. Say what you will, but that seems vastly important in the world.

Well yes, we cannot say for sure if Camp Mystic had such unwritten rules, to only admit white students or created an image that was not welcoming for POCs, so POCs never went there in the first place.
But given it is Texas, I wouldn't be surprised.
Also, Sade Perkins is atleast directionally correct in saying that people care less when victims are not white.
MAGA would infact be calling for them to be deported etc.,

Just like the LA fires, anyone who are responsible for the response to save lives should be held accountable lefty, rightie, MAGA...if there's lapses on actions, fire their asses, that's how you become a better government...held everyone accountable for not performing their duties as public servants. LIves are lost because of them being complacent on their duties.
