The Department of Homeland Security says it's making FEMA less "bloated." Opponents say that cost people their lives in Texas.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is in damage-control mode after she was accused of holding up rescue and recovery efforts in central Texas in the wake of devastating flash floods that killed at least 120 people over the Fourth of July weekend.

Donald Trump aide Kristi Noem is facing huge criticism on social media after she asked her fans to choose their favourite as she posted a series of portraits of herself as a cowgirl. Netizens questioned the timing of the post as Noem put out the post as Texas is reeling with deadly flash floods which has killed around 100 people.
