President Donald Trump is expected to visit Central Texas this week. Local officials and forecasters have defended their actions before and after flash floods killed dozens in the region.

White House's Karoline Leavitt says President Donald Trump will be visiting devastating flooding areas in Texas.

U.S. President Donald Trump actually sent 700 U.S. Marine Corps troops to Los Angeles in June 2025 — alongside 4,000 National Guard troops.

Texas lawmakers will return to Austin July 21 for a 30-day special session. They will look into a wide range of policies, including natural disaster preparedness, congressional redistricting, THC regulations and local property tax rates.

President Trump has not talked about eliminating FEMA as the emergency response agency helps with recovery efforts from the Texas floods.

The White House pushed back Monday against claims that the DOGE cuts to the National Weather Service played a role in the deadly floods that swept through Texas Hill Country. President Donald Trump and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency presided over deep cuts to the NWS,

That was an act of God. It’s not the administration’s fault that the flood hit when it did, but there were early and consistent warnings and, again, the National Weather Service did its job,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

President Donald Trump met with victims' families and surveyed the damage of catastrophic floods that struck the state one week ago.
