There should have been hearings, bills to stop it, and so on - and for things like FEMA cuts, a Republican majority would have done all that if a Democratic president had tried it, with rhetoric about "the heartland" and "real Americans" suffering. But they didn't dare criticize the Trump regime, and now they're hoping their voters are stupid enough to buy the "it was Biden's fault really" BS that a poster above has seen.
