FEMA Fires Employee for Trump Discrimination

FEMA fired an employee over the weekend who reportedly advised her team not to go to Florida homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump.

Twenty homes in the Lake Placid area with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October to November. The hurricane survivors did not receive door-to-door aid from disaster crew members at the direction of their supervisor, Marn'i Washington.

According to FEMA, the matter was referred to the Office of Special Counsel, and officials have been working to ensure similar acts of discrimination do not happen again.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell.

Trump Names Floridian Susie Wiles Chief of Staff

On Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump announced that Susie Wiles, one of his two campaign managers, will be his White House chief of staff.

Wiles, a long-time Florida-based political strategist, will be the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff.

Wiles previously worked on Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign and helped Gov. Ron DeSantis win in 2018. She served as a senior adviser on Trump's 2016 and 2020 bids.

DeSantis Appoints Lambert to Lead DEP

Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed longtime state official Alexis Lambert to serve as secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection after Shawn Hamilton stepped down.

The change was announced after DeSantis and the department faced bipartisan criticism this summer over a proposal to build golf courses, resort-style lodges, and pickleball courts in state parks.

Lambert has been chief of staff for the state Division of Bond Finance since 2018. She previously worked as chief of staff at the Florida Department of Health and was communications director for former state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater.
