Trump admin live updates: Trump says Musk will 'pay the consequences' if he funds Democrats

David Richardson, the acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), told staff in an all-hands meeting on Monday that he was unaware that hurricane season had started, sources familiar with the meeting told ABC News.

Hurricane season starts on June 1 and goes through November 30.

It is unclear if Richardson was joking or not, but a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson says he was.

"Despite meanspirited attempts to falsely frame a joke as policy, there is no uncertainty about what FEMA will be doing this Hurricane Season," the spokesperson said in a statement. "FEMA is laser focused on disaster response, and protecting the American people."

The meeting was held on Monday morning after Richardson had said that he'd update staff on what the plan was to tackle hurricane season. Sources in the meeting told ABC News that he is sticking with the old plan, not to get in the way of the FEMA advisory council.

The advisory council was established by President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

As Congress comes back into session this week, Trump is again emphasizing that he wants the GOP tax megabill on his desk before the Fourth of July holiday.

“With the Senate coming back to Washington today, I call on all of my Republican friends in the Senate and House to work as fast as they can to get this Bill to MY DESK before the Fourth of JULY,” Trump said in a lengthy post selling his megabill.

With many Americans facing uncertainty as the legislation currently includes deep cuts to Medicaid and other entitlement programs, Trump attempted to do damage control, dismissing arguments from Democrats about the changes to the programs as misinformation.

"But there will be NO CUTS to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. In fact, they will be saved from the incompetence of the Democrats. The Democrats, who have totally lost their confidence and their way, are saying whatever comes to mind -- Anything to win!" Trump wrote.

As Trump's tariffs hit the fashion industry, leaders from the sector paid a visit to the White House to discuss potential tariff relief with White House officials.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, Steven Kolb (the Council of Fashion Designers of America CEO), and Stephen Lamar (American Apparel & Footwear Association CEO) met with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles last week, according to a spokesperson for AAFA.

"Anna Wintour, Steven Kolb, and Stephen Lamar went to DC on behalf of the American fashion industry, which supports ten million American jobs, and has for many years paid high tariffs compared to the rest of the economy. Their goal was to talk about balanced trade and how best to maintain those jobs in the US, and preserve American prosperity," the spokesperson said, confirming last week's meeting to ABC News.

The statement went on to link a webpage discussing how tariffs have historically burdened the fashion industry, causing companies to raise prices on goods.

Wintour was spotted around Washington last week as she met with politicians. There is long-lasting tension between Wintour and Melania Trump as the first lady was never been featured on the cover of Vogue, unlike several of her predecessors.
