The flood in Kerrville, Texas, was not an Act of God, it was an Act of Trump. My new 1-hour special, All Washed Away, shows the horrific connection between the drownings in Texas and in New Orleans — 20 years ago this month — and the Trump/DOGE scheme to sell off FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Trump and his DOGE buddies had, just before the Texas flood, cut the heart out of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) slashed one out of three FEMA staff employees just before the Texas flood. The head of FEMA’s National Response Coordination Center, Jeremy Greenberg, whose job was to warn of such floods, was forced out just weeks before the Texas catastrophe. And since the DOGE massacre of April, FEMA’s San Antonio office has had no permanent Warning-Coordination Meteorologist.
Trump has announced he’s planning to close FEMA by this December. His fantasy is, ultimately, to privatize emergency evacuation.
Been there. Done that. The privatization of emergency evacuation led to over a thousand Americans floating face down in New Orleans in 2005.
Back in 2006, I did an investigation of the drownings in New Orleans for a program called Democracy Now! hosted by Amy Goodman.
Watch the film of the investigation, All Washed Away, which I've just updated with an exposé of the Trump drownings of 2025 — available for free on YouTube and Substack. ▶️ https://gregpalastinvestigates.substack.com/p/all-washed-away
