In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Trump denies aid for Arkansas after storms that killed more than 40 people

Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate Fema
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornadoes last month, as legislators plead for him to reconsider.​
​
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornadoes and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.​
0​
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.​
​
Huckabee and other Arkansas lawmakers have since publicly asked Trump to reconsider his decision. Huckabee sent an appeal of the decision on 18 April.​

​

Wow. If Biden had done this, or any other Democratic President, he'd had been 'tarred and feathered ' in the news.

As long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River.

President Donald J. Trump Approves Major Disaster Declaration for Arkansas

FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Arkansas to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe storms and tornadoes from March 14–15, 2025.

A curious situation which says he initially denied aid but an April 5 fema communication said:

Hope it all works out anyway. Information is confusing although the constructive yukkity yuks go on.

But what is confusing is that there are 2 FEMA communications, 1 in early April & 1 in May, authorizing aid. There is record of relief activity earlier on. Was Governor Sanders in limbo on further or original aid? I believe her plea for aid was genuine and there was a major problem but what specifically?

While it is a bit confusing, they are distinct events.

April 5, 2025
WASHINGTON -- FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance has been made available to the state of Arkansas to supplement response efforts in the areas affected by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding beginning on April 2, 2025, and continuing.

May 13, 2025
WASHINGTON -- FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Arkansas to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by severe storms and tornadoes from March 14–15, 2025.

This earlier March event is the one relevant to the OP.
