Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Media And Democrats Over Texas Flood ‘Lies’ After Deadly Disaster Kills Many

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a blistering response to critics following the catastrophic Texas floods that killed dozens.

Addressing the press on Monday, Leavitt accused some media outlets and Democratic leaders of spreading “depraved, disgusting lies” about the administration’s response.

She firmly rejected accusations of federal delay or negligence, saying rescue teams and emergency resources were “mobilized within hours.” The flood, which left entire communities submerged and at least 82 people dead, has ignited a new political firestorm, with critics blaming budget cuts and preparedness failures.

Leavitt dismissed the allegations as “shameful exploitation of tragedy for political gain.” Her forceful defense and condemnation of the narrative sparked immediate reactions across social media and Capitol Hill.

As floodwaters recede, the political storm is only intensifying — and Leavitt has made clear: the administration won’t stay silent.

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully…’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. “Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #NationalWeatherService #FloodWarnings #DisasterResponse #FakeNewsAlert #PressBriefing #NWSStaffing #TexasEmergency #WhiteHouseResponse #FloodTragedy #WeatherAlert #SanAngeloWeather #SanAntonioFloods #LeavittPressConference #MediaAccountability #FEMAUpdate #BreakingNews #TexasWatch #NWSDefense ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘No Weapons For Ukraine’ Leavitt SLAMS Media For Spreading Fake News On Ukraine Aid | White House

In a fiery press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down claims about a shift in U.S. weapons supply to Ukraine, calling it “fake news.” Leavitt clarified that a recent Pentagon assessment was a routine global audit of U.S. military aid, not a pullback. “This was standard policy — not specific to Ukraine,” she said. Leavitt then turned to the Middle East, stating the Trump administration’s top priority is ending the Gaza war and securing the release of hostages. She confirmed that Israel had approved a ceasefire deal, which has now been sent to Hamas for approval. The press secretary expressed hope that Hamas would agree to the proposal, indicating that the U.S. is pressing for diplomatic resolution in the region. The dual clarification on Ukraine and Gaza reveals the administration’s efforts to quell disinformation and manage multiple crises on the global stage. #WhiteHouseBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #UkraineAid #FakeNewsAlert #GazaWar #BidenMiddleEastPlan #HostageCrisis #IsraelHamasCeasefire #PentagonReview #WeaponAidTruth #USForeignPolicy #BreakingNews #GlobalAid #GazaHostages #RoutineAudit #PressConference #MiddleEastConflict #HamasCeasefire #LeavittFightsBack #UkraineSupport Also Read Harvard Not To Receive New Grants Until It Meets White House Demands: Trump Administration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-to-not-receive-new-grants-until-it-meets-white-house-demands-trump-administration-4144481.html?ref=DMDesc White House Slammed For 'Dehumanising' Deportation Video Set To Pop Anthem: 'Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/white-house-slammed-for-dehumanising-deportation-video-set-to-pop-anthem-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-n-4116107.html?ref=DMDesc Historic Southern Magnolia Tree to Be Removed from the White House Grounds Over Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/historic-tree-removal-white-house-safety-concerns-011-4109883.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump To WARN 12 Countries In Secret Trade Letters | White House Teases 'Bold Moves' For American…

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure “the best deals for the American people and the American worker.” The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time. #TrumpTrade #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseBriefing #TradeDeal #AmericanJobs #EconomicNationalism #TradeBlitz #12Countries #GlobalEconomy #TrumpPolicy #USForeignPolicy #PresidentialLetters #TradeWar #AmericaFirst #PressConference #LeavittStatement #USTradeUpdate #TrumpMoves #Geopolitics #InternationalTrade ~HT.410~ED.194~

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor? [Video]

Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” BILL Explained: Why Everyone Is MAD Over BBB|Cuts for Rich, Chaos for Poor?

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk. The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits. The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation. Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. #DonaldTrump #USTaxBill #USPolitics #ElonMusk #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #Americanews #Republicans #Democrats #BernieSanders Also Read America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc How Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Tax Bill Could Benefit Indians Living in the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-donald-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill-could-benefit-indians-living-in-the-us-7790321.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.122~
