FEMA and CDC problems

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Huffman

From: A constituent in Eureka, CA

August 29, 2025

I'm suspicious that many of the domestic policies of this administration are intended to "Cull the Herd". Francesca Fiorentino calls it "Soft Eugenics". As an elder, I'm on the hit list. So, first, I’m really upset that Trump is trying to silence FEMA employees after they released a letter warning that his cuts to emergency response could lead to a disaster on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. This is a deeply alarming pattern— Trump guts agencies that keep us safe, and then, when experts at the agencies speak out, he sidelines them. We’ve seen it not just at FEMA but at the CDC and the EPA. This is putting American lives at risk! Congress’s passivity in the face of these actions is shocking and outrageous. You are supposed to provide checks and balances. Do so! Also, RFK Jr. needs to go. Have you called for him to resign or be fired yet?
