## Resource

Cameron Hamilton, President Trump’s pick to lead FEMA, faces a high-stakes Senate confirmation hearing—this time for good, after his brief, controversial stint last year. With FEMA’s workforce depleted, policies in disarray, and the agency nearly shut down, Hamilton must rebuild trust and readiness for disaster season—all while navigating the White House’s demand for sweeping change. Never having run a state emergency office, and once critical of FEMA itself, his path ahead is steep. Today’s also a pivotal day for other top nominees, including David Cummins for TSA. The pressure’s on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
