There was a lot of chatter about the slow response to the East Palestine train disaster. Some thought it was due to the fact that it was Trump country.
I dismissed those speculations as being ridiculous.

I read it and thought that in certain situations it might make some small sense. But I doubt it was a FEMA effort.

If anybody was actually stupid enough to put that in writing they'd deserve to lose their funding.

Funding? I think that may be criminal…

FEMA officially? Probably not, but as Ageorge commented, do you think this was a one off by a one time rogue supervisor? Do all of the reports and complaints from North Carolina Look a lot different, now? They do to me…

I might be wrong, and I hope I am wrong, but this revelation shows what I fear might be a deep-seated, baked-in part of the government culture.
For all the cries that "The deep state doesn't exist!", is there a better example than this that it does, in fact, exist?
Nope. This is not a one-of. The fact that a whistleblower had the balls to come forward with this might encourage others to do so as well.

our current hysterical polarization will guarantee that when this happens in the opposite direction, it will confirm every nightmare of the TDS masses, and they’ll become more and more galvanized and legit crazy. Meanwhile, it’s a blip on the radar when it’s against Trump supporters.

Removed or relocated? In the Daily Wire article:
The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.
The employees say that Washington has not been punished for the guidance, but has been shifted to another county in Florida.

Not nearly good enough. She needs removed and prosecuted. Her immediate superiors need removed and possibly prosecuted. Every single member of the subordinates that didn’t come forward needs to be removed. Those that actually complied with the instructions need to be removed and definitely prosecuted.
Then we start to look at her peers in the agency.

Doesn’t even seem aid related. It’s between ‘Don’t go anywhere alone’ and ‘Practice deescalation measures’.
Maybe it was guidance about how to avoid abuse by frothed up magats.

About a week ago, you listed "politicization of disaster relief" as a horrifying thing Trump tried to do, but failed, because of the adults in the room during his first administration.

She has been fired.
So, is there any legal exposure?

For her or the agency?
For her, yes. Also, any agents of FEMA that followed her instructions and skipped houses.

I like that the much maligned Daily Wire broke this story, the likes of which would be the envy of WaPo or the NYT if the political direction was opposite.

And the State Department says: "don't hire straight white men of the 'wrong religion'!"
It's really time for the Dems to go.
