The national weather service did not predict all that rain coming down in Texas. For one thing, the Trump regime fired over 500 meteorologists as part of their DOGE initiative so they could save money to fund tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.
Texas officials blamed the NWS for the faulty prediction which didn't inform the state that this amount of rain was going to fall so quickly.
Afterwards, the right wing echo machine was busy in spin cycle overdrive mode trying to blame wokeness and the Biden admistration for the disaster. The previous administration shall henceforth take all the blame for anything that Trump gets wrong (which is just about everything).
The US was already burdened with an anti-science bias thanks to the radical right which made it easier to cut funding for food inspectors, the EPA, FEMA, the national park service and of course the NWS (to name only a few important departments).
As 27 people and counting were killed in Texas, Trump was slurring his way unintelligibly through a rambling speech about shower pressure like the crazy uncle in the nursing home no one listens to. Biden was supposed to be the senile one.
If this was a movie you would have trouble selling the plot to a studio.
