They will TRO any move to dismantle it.
Trump will need a big win with USSC to stop them from stalling him.

FEMA was created by a Jimmy Carter EO and can be terminated by a Trump EO. Congress not needed.

I'm all for stopping the grift but FEMA manages the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Unless private insurers step up, NFIP protection is the only coverage available in some areas. And, most private insurers are cutting back. You LA baws can appreciate that impact.

I think part of "studying" the current role of FEMA is to find ways to incorporate some of the good task they conduct into other agencies.

Actually, it’s called Risk Rating 2.0.
When the Biden administration got a hold of it, at the top of its webpage, it specifically stated that it would be derived primarily with equity and diversity in mind.
So, they made sure that there was absolutely zero f*cking transparency in how the risk and rates were calculated.
From what I’ve read, they contracted out the calculations to an outside contractor so that the actual calculations would not be subject to any sort of FOIA request. They allowed this third-party contractor (you can pretty much bet everything you own that it’s a DEI hire) to have a proprietary interest in the program so that no one could have access to it.
Even Cassidy and Kennedy were b!tching about not being able to have access to the program or any explanation as to how it was derived.
This is another DEI scam that Trump has to get rid of.
This was actually the front page of a video on the FEMA website...

As far as I understand, the only thing he's talking about terminating that has to have Congressional Approval is the Department of Education.
Everything else falls under the Executive branch. (creating DOGE, eliminating FEMA, USAID, etc.)
And the Department of Education - he only has to have a Secretary of Education, which can have a small support staff or even just serve in an advisory role. The establishment only establishes a Secretary of Education, not a bloated department with thousands of employees.

Terminate the department but let Elon create a modern version of help and aid.
Remember or learn that say in 1977 when FEMA was created typewriters and rotary phones were the front line of technology in responding to things.
State governments are more adaptable in handling crises today and just issuing the necessary credits to fund the areas locally would I would think, be much more improved than some blunderbuss organization from a Federal standpoint. my o2c.

I’d rather them terminate the FBI and CIA

There’s a list of reasons to do this, not the least of which is how Americans in NC were treated.

Let me get this straight Dems if you are following, it is okay to Terminate a pregnancy but not terminate a government program.

Anybody have a recent link of him saying this? The only thing I'm finding are old January articles, of lefty outlets sky screaming about something he said while he was in North Carolina.

Strip it down to just the needed programs. Keep those that have the most experience, knowledge, and trustworthiness.
Gut the rest.
And put an in office oversight. Monitor 24/7.

FEMA basically impedes disaster relief. It’s an awful and idiotic organization
