Future rounds of cuts will disproportionately affect red states, but at least they got to "own the libs" for a hot minute.

FAA- Crashes, near-misses, communication outages.

FEMA- Arkansas, Missouri, and NC all denied disaster relief.
Now that we're into hurricane season, let's see how maga policy mishandles disaster declarations in Florida.
Prolly will have a massive FEMA response if anything happens near Palm Beach, tho.
