The liquids, I’m questioning. So that may be the next big announcement, is what size your liquids need to be.

What you saw happen in Texas was much more how FEMA will look in the future. It won’t look like the response to [Hurricane] Katrina, or the response to even [Hurricane] Helene, and what happened in North Carolina, where people waited weeks…

There will never be amnesty under President Trump

That’s what this memo was confirming, and that’s all been negotiated with that country through the State Department.

Incredibly important to make sure we get these worst of the worst out of our country

And it’s discouraging. It’s discouraging that during this time, when we have such a loss of life, and so many people’s lives have turned upside down, that people are playing politics with this, because the response time was immediate.

It’s just false. Those contracts were in place. Nobody—no employees were off of work. Every one of them were answering calls. So false reporting, fake news.

I wish they would have said that back during the Biden administration and back when the Democrats were in the White House when they were piling people on top of each other on cement floors and they didn’t have two feet to move. They never…

President Trump's signing the One Big Beautiful Bill is a win for law and order and the safety and security of the American people.

It needs to be redeployed in a new way, and that’s what we did during this response.

He isn’t looking to eliminate the agency but simply wants to see it 'remade.'

We should be there to support. We shouldn't be making the decisions.

The way statute lays out is that every emergency that happens in this country should be locally executed.

I'm so proud of them because for the very first time, we acted in a way that disaster response should, you know.

I'm also very proud of the fact that I have the super advisory authority over the U.S. Coast Guard.

These contracts were in place, and those people were in those call centers, and they were picking up the phone and answering these calls from these individuals.

Every one of them was answering calls, so false reporting, fake news, and it’s discouraging.

No employees were off of work.

It’s not just FEMA that can respond in these situations because the federal government has all kinds of assets, and we deployed them.

It needs to be redeployed, in a new way, and that’s what we did during this response.

The president recognises that FEMA should not exist in the way that it always has been.

This response was by far the best response we’ve seen out of FEMA, the best response we’ve seen out of the federal government in many, many years and certainly much better than what we saw under Joe Biden.

The false reporting has been something that is inappropriate and it’s something that I think we need to clear up.

It’s discouraging that during this time, when we have such a loss of life and so many people’s lives have turned upside down, that people are playing politics with this because the response time was immediate.

I don’t care what she thinks.
