The federal government is being introduced to a shocking new concept called accountability. The Associated Press ran a terrific story yesterday headlined, “4 FEMA employees are fired over payments to reimburse New York City for hotel costs for migrants.” The headline referred to the $59 million payment sent to luxury New York City hotels to provide long-term migrant housing at double rates and 100% occupancy— for free to the illegal migrants!— even while LA County and North Carolina citizens are still living in tents. And it violated Trump’s direct order to suspend those very payments.
It went all the way to the top. The terminated employees included FEMA’s chief financial officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist. Even better, it didn’t work. They threw away their plush, defined-benefits jobs for nothing. The National Review ran a related story yesterday headlined, “DHS Claws Back $59 Million FEMA Sent to NYC Hotels to Shelter Illegal Immigrants.”
Obscenely, the $59 million included illegal payments to the Roosevelt Hotel, which housed Laken Riley’s murderer:
This kind of thing enrages everybody— with virtually nothing gained by the Deep State. If they were smart, they’d cut out this kind of crap. It suggests the Deep State might not be as smart as we gave it credit for. Maybe cunning, ruthless, and insatiably greedy, but not smart.
Or maybe the Deep State is operating in a panicked shambles.
Either way, their arrogant belief in their own untouchability will keep tripping them up. Thanks again, DOGE. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
First Trump TRO falls as judge nixes stay; types of injunctions; economy conspiracy theory becomes fact; Tulsi Gabbard confirmed; EPA axes Politico subsidies; Kristi Noem claws migrant eyes; more.
