Sounds like the past 50 years of the pro-life GOP.

Sad example of how toxic political rehetoric at the national level impacts local governance.
The ball is now in the President's court: Will he restore BRAC funding - funding that is provided for rural communities to prepare for more floods and other natural disasters?

If the Kerr County residents didn't want federal money, they should have stepped up and provided the funding (taxes) to implement what other responsbile neighboring counties chose to do:
Install a flood monitoring warning system.
They knew it needed to be done....and didn't get it done.

Transgender bathroom bill added to Texas flood-relief special session
None of the 82 bills proposed Monday, the first filing day of the forthcoming special session, were actually flood-related, according to KXAN-TV, NBC’s Austin affiliate.When Gov. Greg Abbott initially called for a special session in June, it was to tackle six bills he had vetoed during the regular session, among them a contentious measure that would have banned hemp products containing THC. But after flash floods overwhelmed parts of central Texas on July 4 — resulting in at least 120 deaths with many more still missing — the intended focus shifted to flood relief.
However, when the governor’s 18-point agenda was released last week, it included far more than flood-related measures. In addition to considering bills that would restrict hemp products, Abbott has also asked lawmakers to consider legislation “further protecting unborn children and their mothers from the harm of abortion” and legislation “protecting women’s privacy in sex-segregated spaces.”
At least it's good to see Texas getting back to normal and returning to the most pressing priorities.

It's good to see elected officials not making the flood "political". It's great to see Republican politicians not making political hay out of this or using it to their advantage.
Sarcasm.
Because that is what they are doing
