Hawaii is an island, and a lot of material takes time to get there.

If you're watching from there, it's important to remember that emergency responders were saying more flooding is still possible as late as Tuesday morning.

It does look like they're saying the risk of Wahiawa Dam failing has passed as the water levels dropped.

Only about 4% of homes in Hawaii have flood insurance.

There's still a backlog of payments from a Trump official's policy that requires a personal sign-off for payments to cities over $100,000 from previous disasters.

This would normally be the part in a video about a disaster where we tell locals where they can get assistance and file with FEMA.

The Hawaii page on the FEMA site currently says, quote,

Notice, due to the lapse in federal funding, portions of this website may not be updated and some non-disaster assistance transactions submitted via the website may not be processed or responded to until after appropriations are enacted.

When you search for disaster recovery centers in Hawaii, it says, quote,

There are no active disaster recovery centers for this location at this time.

It is worth noting that Hawaii Emergency Management Agency is saying that at least some FEMA personnel have made it out to do an assessment.

We were able to find a listing of American Red Cross emergency shelters from before the flood that we'll link below in the description.

funding for emergency response, airport security, and so on, have now been tied by Trump and the Republican Party to trans sports issues because the party has lost all semblance of having actual policy and is now just running on the memes.

Everybody should buckle up because the longer Trump demands the DHS funding shutdown go on, the worse it's going to get for Americans and the economy.

Anyway, it's just a thought.

Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there, Internet people.

It's Belle again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump, lies, and minds.

Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland didn't pull punches when he was talking about his view of Trump's disputed claims of being in negotiations with Iran.
