Stop lying. Priscilla is dying and the track doesn’t take it within a 1,000 miles of Arizona. No justification for direct intervention by Speaker Mike Johnson

by

Based on the severity of the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Priscilla’s remnants, there is no clear justification for Speaker Mike Johnson to be contacted or to intervene directly.

Here’s why:

  • No federal disaster declaration has been issued for Arizona related to this event.
  • FEMA has not activated emergency response protocols for Priscilla’s impact in the state.
  • The flooding, while disruptive, was localized and moderate, involving road closures, stalled vehicles, and record-setting rain but not mass displacement, fatalities, or infrastructure collapse.
  • Congressional leadership typically gets involved when a state requests federal aid, or when FEMA response is blocked or delayed at a systemic level. That hasn’t happened here.
