BlueCrew - Community<p>BREAKING: Texas State Representative Gene Wu exposes how Republicans are directly responsible for the tragic flash flood deaths in his state — and slams them for ignoring climate change when we have "500 year storms that keep hitting every single year."</p><p>This was a show-stopping takedown by Wu...</p><p>"The New York Times reported this year the Texas legislature funded only a very small portion of this backlog of flood management projects totaling some $54 billion," said CNN's Jake Tapper. </p><p>"$54 billion... Because as you know these floods are not new. This is the worst of them," Tapper continued. "But the idea of flooding in this area and other parts of Texas is a constant threat to lives. So this $54 billion went largely unfunded but the legislature did pass $51 billion of property tax cuts. What was your take on that?"</p><p>The Republican decision to slash property taxes while neglecting life-saving flood prevention projects is a perfect microcosm of the kleptocratic MAGA ethos best demonstrated at the federal level by the Big Beautiful Bill, which cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid while ramming through tax cuts for the rich. Republicans are looting the treasury at every level of government, from the White House down to the State House, and working class Americans are getting stuck with the deadly consequences.</p><p>"So this is one of the things that we've been railing against," said Wu. "Democrats in this House whether this session or previous session, continuously offer bills to help prepare for disasters. Rep. Martinez had a bill this time that would help us locate victims faster. Rep. Anchía had a bill to say let's have preparedness studies for these extreme storms. Rep. Reynolds had a bill to say let's push money into damaged communities faster."</p><p>"Every single one of these bills — and a dozen other bills — were all killed by Republicans and for no reason at all," Wu continued. "Every single time Democrats try to bring up that it's not just the 100 year storm, it's the 200 year storms, it's the 500 year storms that keep hitting every single year."</p><p>Trump has claimed that the flooding was a "hundred-year catastrophe" but we know for a fact that climate change, which Republicans call a "hoax," is making extreme weather events deadlier and more frequent with each passing year.</p><p>"And we're saying there's something wrong with that. You're not supposed to have 500 year events every single year," Wu said. "And every time Democrats offer up legislation, amendments to say let's do something about this, let's save lives, let's prepare, it's uniformly rejected on party lines by Republicans."</p><p>So far, at least 120 people have been confirmed dead from the Texas floods.</p><p>At this point, voting for Republicans must be considered a form of national suicide. These conservative politicians care about one thing: stripping this country down to the studs on behalf of their wealthy donors and corporations. If they keep getting elected, the body count will just keep rising as more and more wealth is siphoned away from the rest of us. </p><p>We are in an existential struggle for survival. Vote accordingly.<br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueCrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueCrew</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueCircleFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueCircleFamily</span></a>🌈🦋 <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BluePetPatrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BluePetPatrol</span></a>💙🐾 <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ProudBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProudBlue</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TrumpIsUnfitForOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsUnfitForOffice</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/trumpLiesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trumpLiesMatter</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Flood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Flood</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/cuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cuts</span></a></p>

DuBose said the #states had shown “irreparable harm,” from the #cuts & were likely to prevail in their claims that the “#HHS’s action was both arbitrary & capricious as well as contrary to #law.”

“The executive branch does not have the authority to order, organize, or implement wholesale changes to the structure & function of the agencies created by #Congress,” DuBose wrote in a 58-page order handed down in US district court of #RhodeIsland.
