President Trump recently floated the idea of getting rid of FEMA. It would take an act of Congress to make that happen.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) praised President Donald Trump’s actions since taking office just one week ago, arguing there is a “new sheriff in town” and there will be “no daylight” between Congress and the White House on addressing issues including immigration,

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, who on Friday talked about shutting down the Federal Emergency Management Agency, on Sunday night issued orders for a commission to investigate the disaster response agency that is so familiar to people in hurricane-prone south Louisiana.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (FOX Carolina) - Congressman Tim Moore was named to President Donald Trump’s FEMA review council on Friday, Jan. 24. The president signed an Executive Order to create a council to assist in improving FEMA after examining the areas affected by Helene.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the order from taking effect until Monday, but several states intend to stop it entirely.

President Donald Trump named RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and three GOP members of Congress to review FEMA’s work in Helene.

Cameron Hamilton does not appear to have experience coordinating responses to large-scale disasters, like the wildfires in California.

President Trump’s plan to shutter the Federal Emergency Management Agency could save the federal government billions but will hit stiff resistance from governors who don’t want to shoulder more of the cost of natural disasters.

Shifting positions: Trump administration officials continued to reverse or revise the government’s stance on multiple fronts, including active Supreme Court cases, Jan. 6 prosecutions, school book bans, foreign aid programs and gender definitions. Mr. Trump also reinstated a Republican anti-abortion policy known as the “Mexico City Rule.”
