The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is “not ready” for hurricane season, which starts June 1, an internal document warns as President Trump eyes eliminating the department entirely.

Internal slides obtained by The Hill state that, “As FEMA transforms to a smaller footprint, the intent for this hurricane season is not well understood, thus FEMA is not ready.”

The slides also state that per a hurricane season 2025 assessment, “resources are reduced” and the “quality of people lost cannot be replaced right away.”

And it says the routine readiness process “has been derailed this year due to other activities like staffing and contracts.”

FEMA is the federal agency in charge of coordinating responses to disasters, working alongside states and localities to do so. It also helps communities rebuild after they’ve been hit.

The death toll has risen in a multistate listeria outbreak linked to frozen supplement shakes, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The increase in deaths from the outbreak comes nearly three months after Lyons Magnus, a food service industry provider headquartered in Fresno, California, recalled 4-ounce cartons of Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial Frozen Supplemental Shakes for possible risk of listeria contamination. The products were produced by Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc. in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Lyons Magnus distributed the products, under the Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial brand names, throughout the U.S., primarily to long-term care facilities. The products were not sold at retail stores and none of the shakes should be available on the market, the FDA said.

President Donald Trump said the Supreme Court's decision limiting his ability to deport immigrants without a court hearing represents "a bad and dangerous day for America."

In a post on his Truth Social site on May 16, Trump slammed the high court's ruling blocking his administration from using a 1798 wartime law to deport a group of Venezuelan migrants. The migrants argued who said they had not been given enough of a chance to contest their removal.

The president invoked the Alien Enemies Act in March when he designated a Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua as a "foreign terrorist organization." Alleged gang members have since been deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador.

"The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public," Trump said in his post. "The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do."

Chadwick was calm enough to leave for a three-week expedition to Guam on May 7 to explore the Mariana Trench – though he noted that those following Oregon's undersea volcano joke that it's most likely to erupt when its least convenient. "May is looking like a pretty inconvenient time for Axial to erupt ... so you never know!"

Scott Nooner, a professor of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, who co-runs the Axial Seamount blog with Chadwick, said on May 16 that there's no new news.

"We are still waiting for activity to pick up there," he said.

Dating of the flows around the seamount shows that it has erupted about 50 times over the last 800 years, about once every 15 years on average.

A series of instruments around the volcano indicate a reservoir has been refilling with magma since its last eruption, gradually inflating so that it's bulging upward.
