FEMA disaster relief manager Marn’i Washington (if that is her real name), actually put her disgusting “best practices” instructions in writing. It was in a chat message to her Hurricane Helene FEMA emergency relief team members. Marn’i instructed them to, and I quote, “avoid homes advertising Trump.”
At the time, Marn’i probably thought that was super clever. It wasn’t even a good joke.
Some FEMA staff weren’t as stoked as Marn’i. They followed orders, but slyly slid notes in their online reports about skipping storm-damaged houses with explanations like: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”
Per leadership. In other words, “under duress.” She made us do it.
Proving FEMA can move fast, when its own butt needs rescue, within 24 hours a FEMA spokesman quickly told the Daily Wire that Marn’i had been “removed from their role,” whatever that means, and FEMA was investigating to cover up, I mean recover from, the ghastly breach of protocol...
Outrage on social media understandably focused on the whole weaponization of the federal government angle. But there are some brighter spots the current discussion might be missing.
First, Marn’i was fairly quickly outed by what appear to have been multiple whistleblowers. Not only did someone at FEMA leak that internal chat to the conservative Daily Wire, but several FEMA staff intentionally recorded the evidence of avoiding Trump supporters in their computer system — so that FEMA couldn’t later claim it was just a joke or something.
Second, President Trump has long said he plans to prune many partisan activists out of the federal government. This story provides clear evidence that pruning is urgently needed, and disproves the media’s argument that “federal employees are completely apolitical.”
Third, the Daily Wire broke the story. Corporate media is becoming increasingly redundant, like an infected vestigial organ, and with any luck can be surgically excised soon, and then we’ll start feeling better.
Does "fired" mean discharged from FEMA with no more pay? Or just removed from one position and assigned to another position as in a lateral transfer?

FEMA fires worker who directed relief workers to skip homes of Trump-supporting hurricane survivors
Federal life insurance is insanely cheap for the coverage and I can keep it for life.
