Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, waited three days to approve aid for Texas after deadly floods over the Fourth of July weekend. Noem imposed a ‘cost-control’ policy that requires any grant over $100,000 to be personally approved by her.
Democrats, including @GregCasar, are demanding an investigation into Noem’s decision, with some arguing that the delay may have worsened the floods’ impact.
