WHAT A MESS: Trump says FEMA will play ‘key role’ in coordinating response to Potomac sewage spill.

The collapse of a sewer line in Montgomery County, Maryland, last month spilled more than 200 million gallons of wastewater into the river. DC Water recently completed a bypass to temporarily reroute wastewater back into the sewer system, although local officials say it could take another 10 months to repair the pipe.

In a Monday afternoon social media post, Trump accused Maryland Gov. Wes Moore — a Democrat — of “gross mismanagement,” calling the spill “a result of incompetent Local and State Management of Essential Waste Management Systems.” He also attacked Moore for his role overseeing the rebuilding of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which collapsed in March 2024.

“While State and Local Authorities have failed to request needed Emergency Help, I cannot allow incompetent Local ‘Leadership’ to turn the River in the Heart of Washington into a Disaster Zone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding: “The Federal Government has no choice, but to step in.”

A spill this size would’ve been much bigger news in a red state.
