Actually the impact of cutting the Dept Education is that low income school districts will lose funding as will Special Education students
You did it, you found a convoluted way to pretend Obama was not to blame for the infrastructure fiasco that didn't fix the infrastructure, despite his continued efforts to claim it would. Did he just ignore the situation? Was no one willing to tell him the jobs weren't there and he was just spouting platitudes, as the nation had become accustomed to him doing? What was it that left him twisting in the wind, being ignorant?
Wasn't Cruz in Greece when this happened?
And was a huge failure.
Like Joe Biden?
Flash floods are common for the area.
Based on what?
What devastating headcount reduction was that. What was so "devastating" or do you feel the need to be hyperbolic?

No more than the title of this OP.
Maybe to your deranged little lying mind.
You mean like your previous statement? You are certainly not an "informed" poster.
You don't have any either. So what is your basis for making the claim about betrayed trust? Seriously. Just WTF are you?
And your faux outrage is very transparent.
What water is there to carry.
It's piece, moron.
You are a data analytics guy (supposedly).
And you are just royaly convinced this is what killed these people.
Mayor Pete took a 3 month "Maternity Leave" when the US was going through the Supply Chain crisis that was wrecking havoc with the country! He is literally the worst Transportation Secretary we've ever had!

Prove it, neither NOAA, the National Weather Service, or the National Weather Service’s union said that they were under staffed, I’ll take their word as they are closest to the situation and you are a partisan divider that loves to stir up bogus shit.Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be. Those agencies were in place for a reason, and should have never been degraded by someone who didn't even understand why we need those agencies.
Yes, it's quite possible that victims of the recent Texas flood could have received earlier or more effective warnings if not for cuts and policy shifts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and former President Donald Trump's administration.
What Happened in Texas?
On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flash flooding struck areas along the Guadalupe River, leading to fatalities and widespread emergency rescues. Local authorities issued urgent warnings, but the scale and speed of the flooding overwhelmed many systems.
How DOGE and Trump’s Policies May Have Affected This
According to investigative reporting from the Texas Observer and San Antonio Current, the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative significantly impacted federal disaster preparedness and response:
- FEMA Cuts: DOGE slashed FEMA’s workforce by about 20% and froze parts of its funding.
- Disaster Aid Shift: Trump announced plans to phase out FEMA and shift disaster response responsibilities to individual states, arguing governors should handle emergencies independently.
- Climate Risk Data Degradation: DOGE reportedly dismantled or degraded federal resources that track and model climate-augmented weather risks, such as flood forecasting and early warning systems.
- Infrastructure Investment Delays: Federal support for flood prevention projects—like levees and drainage upgrades—was reduced or delayed, leaving vulnerable areas more exposed.
Could Earlier Warnings Have Been Possible?
While local agencies like the Harris County Flood Control District did issue warnings, the broader federal infrastructure that supports early detection, modeling, and communication of extreme weather risks may have been weakened. This could have:
- Reduced the lead time for warnings
- Limited the accuracy of flood forecasts
- Slowed coordination between federal and local responders
So while it's speculative to say definitively that lives would have been saved, the evidence strongly suggests that federal cuts and policy shifts under DOGE and Trump made Texas—and its residents—more vulnerable to disasters like this one.

How much time would you need to assess what cuts to the NWS are needed and which cuts could put lives in jeapordy? The NOAA fired 880 people 15 days after the inauguration. No study was done on redundancy, need, impact, jeapordy, risks, or basic work efficinecy. They just fired people. Randomly. They fired anyone who had a job change in the last 2 years (even promotions) which makes their job considered probationary, and then said if people didnt take early retirement there would be more firings.

Still no data showing how any of your nutbag claims impacted anything in the Texas flood.How much time would you need to assess what cuts to the NWS are needed and which cuts could put lives in jeapordy?

The reduction did not make us safer. It wasnt even done with levels that could be considered safe after a well thought out analysis. How can you look at the reduction process and feel like no one is in jeopardy after those cuts? You cant.
NOAA to potentially cut more than 1,000 additional employees
NOAA previously fired 880 employees on Feb. 27, the majority of which were probationary staff with fewer than two years in their positions.
