FEMA Staff Fired for Signing Letter, Because Trump Hates Science & Safety

In a scenario screaming plot twist meets workplace drama, 182 FEMA employees wrote the 'Katrina Declaration' warning about disastrous disaster-budget cuts ahead of Hurricane Katrina's 20th anniversary. Thirty-six brave souls signed with their names—most of whom were directly battling July's deadly Kerr County, Texas floods! Then BAM! The Trump admin, apparently auditioning for a new reality show called 'How to Silence Your Own Heroes', sent them on leave Tuesday for being too woke about climate change and disaster relief. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem even branded them 'afraid of change.' Because what else screams progress like punishing experts on the frontline for trying to save lives? Even Stand Up for Science called this retaliation illegal, but federal ghosts stayed silent. And just last month, EPA had a similar whoopsie with 139 dissenters on leave. #AmericaTheBraveNoMore

Nothing says 'Disaster Preparedness' like punishing FEMA heroes for caring about floods and climate science. Guess Trump’s playbook includes firing anyone who tries to save lives. Welcome to America, where whistleblowers get a pink slip and climate denial reigns supreme!

If being 'afraid of change' means daring to protect people from floods and climate chaos, then the Trump administration just hired a court jester—not FEMA. Next up, firing firefighters for putting out fires!

FEMA staff warned about cuts, got sent to la-la land aka administrative leave. Meanwhile, disaster recovery waits. Sounds like the ultimate episode of 'America’s Funniest Political Fails.' Spoiler: No one laughs except chaos.
