BREAKING: 27 dead after Trump cuts blindside Texas

According to officials, this was entirely preventable.

Texas officials just held an intense press conference confirming that at least 27 people are dead and dozens more as missing due to the ongoing catastrophic flooding in the state.

You can’t prevent natural disasters. What you can do, is create mechanisms and infrastructure that can minimize the debts and make sure communities are safe.

Texas officials immediately cited the rapid and reckless cuts to the NWS (National Weather Service) and the NOOA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

This is not a figment of the liberal imagination. Texas officials directly cited Donald Trump’s cuts to the National Weather Service as the reason over two dozen people died and many more are missing in the catastrophic flooding.

For an administration that is supposedly full of “businessmen”, they have shown a repeated inability to understand the return on investment that preventative infrastructure provides.

Only someone with an infantile view of the world would look at the roughly $58 billion it takes to fund USAID as “saved money!” after the agency was shuttered - ignoring the hundreds of billions lost to preventable disease outbreaks, economic disruption, and mass displacement. That’s not savings. That’s lighting the future on fire and calling it efficient.

In the same vein, it may temporary please Republican donors to see the National Weather Service cut to make room for more tax cuts, but at what cost? How many people will have to be buried before this administration stops this deliberate assault on public safety?

Meteorologists have warned this would happen. We’ve covered it for months. People inside these offices have begged for help. And now, the unthinkable has happened. Entire communities in Texas were blindsided. The forecast was wrong. Lives were lost.

This is what happens when you prioritize billionaire tax cuts over science, safety, and basic public infrastructure. This isn’t just red tape being cut—it’s the warning systems that tell you when a wall of water is coming. And now, those systems are failing.

They fired scientists so Elon Musk could keep more money.

They dismantled our safety nets and told us it was freedom.

And now, 27 people are dead.

Here’s the ask: don’t just scroll past this. Join Mockler Media. We’re fighting to expose this stuff in real time. We’re holding them accountable every single day—with videos, live shows, debates, everything. This is how we win. Not just in the election, but in the fight for truth and basic decency.
