Should We Politicize the Texas Flood? Absolutely

When it comes to disasters, accountability delayed is accountability
denied
...
In fact, now is exactly the time to put officials on the spot and ask
how much responsibility they bear for the horror. Because the reality
of America today is that if we don't make an issue of how this
happened within the next few days, nothing will be learned and nothing
will change.
