FEMA UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: Trump Extends Review Council to Root Out Deep State Failures

President Donald Trump just put the Federal Emergency Management Agency on notice—again. With a stroke of his pen on Thursday, the 47th President extended the FEMA Review Council through March 25, 2026, making crystal clear that this administration isn't done exposing the rot within one of the federal government's most troubled agencies.

Cleaning Up Biden's Disaster Response Disasters

Let's be honest, folks: FEMA became a national embarrassment under the Biden regime. From the catastrophic mishandling of hurricane responses to reports of resources being diverted away from American citizens, the agency tasked with protecting Americans in their darkest hours instead became another bloated bureaucracy more interested in DEI initiatives than actually helping people dig out from the rubble.

The FEMA Review Council, originally established by Executive Order 14180 on January 24, 2025—just days after President Trump returned to the Oval Office—was created specifically to assess what went wrong and how to fix it. Now, with this continuance order, the Council has the runway it needs to finish the job.

Homeland Security Takes the Reins

Under the new order, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem will oversee the Council's functions, working in accordance with guidelines established by the Administrator of General Services. This is exactly the kind of streamlined accountability that was sorely lacking in the previous administration.

Governor Noem has already proven herself as a no-nonsense leader who puts Americans first. Having her department spearhead this review means we can expect results, not more Washington double-talk.

What This Means for You

For everyday Americans who've watched FEMA fumble response after response—whether it was leaving hurricane victims stranded or prioritizing illegal immigrants over citizens—this extension represents hope. Hope that when the next disaster strikes, the cavalry will actually show up. Hope that your tax dollars will go toward helping your neighbors, not funding another government boondoggle.

President Trump promised to drain the swamp and make government work for the people again. This executive order is proof he meant every word. The question now is simple: will the entrenched bureaucrats at FEMA cooperate with reform, or will they resist and expose themselves as the Deep State actors many suspect them to be?

Either way, patriots, this President isn't backing down.

This is why we elected Trump - to cut through the red tape and get results!

Amen to that! Career politicians would never have the backbone to take on the establishment like this.

I've been saying this for years - FEMA wastes billions of our tax dollars while Americans suffer. During Hurricane Harvey, we waited weeks for help while watching the bureaucracy move at a snail's pace. How long is this review expected to take?

FEMA's response to natural disasters has been politicized for too long. We need accountability and transparency, not more government bloat covering up their failures.

Finally someone willing to drain the swamp! FEMA has been a disaster for decades and it's time to hold these bureaucrats accountable.

Exactly! The deep state has infiltrated every agency and Trump is the only one with the courage to clean house.
