'TEXAS FLOOD HORROR CAUSED BY DOGE CUTS'

THE Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is facing escalating public outrage, as the death toll from the catastrophic Texas flood continues to climb.

The anger was stoked as the Weather Prediction Centre yesterday elevated the state's risk level, sparking fears that more lives could be lost as the rain persists.

Authorities have confirmed at least 82 fatalities, with dozens more unaccounted for, including an additional 10 girls and a counsellor from Camp Mystic, who tragically lost 27 campers and counsellors in the flooding.

However, as rescue efforts continue, many are questioning whether Elon Musk's budget cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) during his tenure as head of DOGE under US President Donald Trump resulted in insufficient information being provided before the floods struck.
