If you ever needed proof that big government is a bloated, incompetent mess that picks and chooses who actually deserves help based on political affiliation, look no further than FEMA under the Biden administration.
The agency that’s supposed to be there when disaster strikes has instead become just another weaponized arm of the federal bureaucracy, abandoning actual Americans in need while throwing millions at illegal migrants who shouldn’t even be here in the first place. And thanks to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the curtain has been pulled back on just how disgraceful this has become.
Let’s start with the most enraging revelation—FEMA’s $59 million payout to house illegal migrants in luxury hotels in New York. While homeless veterans sleep on the streets and American families are still waiting for help after their homes were leveled by disasters, Biden’s FEMA is rolling out the red carpet for people who broke our laws to get here. It would be infuriating enough if this were a one-time lapse in judgment, but it’s part of a pattern of outright dereliction of duty.
Remember how FEMA reportedly instructed relief workers in Florida to avoid homes with “Trump” signs in the wake of hurricanes? What about the sluggish, almost reluctant response to flooding in North Carolina? And then there’s Los Angeles, where wildfires devastated communities, yet somehow the Biden administration just couldn’t seem to get emergency aid moving quickly. It’s almost like they’re only eager to help when it politically benefits them.
And now, we have Oklahoma—specifically Love County—where tornado survivors have been left waiting for relief that was supposedly “approved” but, nearly a year later, is still nowhere to be found. Oklahomans applied, got their applications rubber-stamped, and then… nothing. It’s not like this was a minor storm, either. An EF4 tornado tore through Marietta, leaving residents without a grocery store, wrecking a hospital, and causing widespread destruction. Normally, this would trigger an immediate and full-throttle federal response. But Oklahoma is a deep-red state, and Love County is a deep-red county, so we’re all left wondering: Is that why FEMA is dragging its feet?
It’s a fair question, especially given FEMA’s track record under Biden. When conservatives needed help, they got bureaucracy, delays, and excuses. When illegal migrants needed a place to stay? Millions were wired out with shocking efficiency. It’s almost like this administration sees natural disasters as political opportunities—if you live in the right place and vote the right way, you get the help you need. If not, well, good luck.
The ACLJ isn’t letting this slide. They’ve filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to force FEMA to explain why aid is still missing in action for Oklahoma’s tornado victims. And now, even state leaders like former Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols are calling out the Biden administration for its neglect. His point is simple: Whether FEMA’s failure is due to outright political bias or just sheer incompetence, it needs to end. Either one is unacceptable, and if it’s both? That’s even worse.
Meanwhile, DOGE has done what federal watchdogs should have been doing all along—pulling back the curtain on just how broken this agency has become. The Left is scrambling because they know their hypocrisy is being exposed. It’s no longer just a conservative talking point; the receipts are there for anyone willing to look. FEMA has become yet another extension of the Democratic Party’s selective “compassion,” where disaster relief is just another tool to reward friends and punish enemies.
Americans like Rachel Magee in Oklahoma—just like those in Florida, North Carolina, and California—deserve better than this. They deserve a government that doesn’t treat them like second-class citizens just because they vote the “wrong” way. FEMA needs to answer for its failures, and thanks to DOGE, the ACLJ, and leaders willing to fight, those answers are coming. Whether FEMA likes it or not, the American people are watching.
