FEMA Administrator Criswell: It's part of our Wireless Emergency Alert Platform [false alert sent to residents] that FEMA offers to state and locals, and we are providing technical assistance to them to make sure we can help them understand what happened, and ensure that it doesn't happen again.

[FEMA is actually responsible for the erroneous evacuation order]

Jean Pierre: We also increased the reward amount for Nicholas Maduro, and his so-called minister of interior, as part of the Department of State's Narcotics Rewards Program.

Jean Pierre: This is the only administration to gain jobs every month. We had zero months with job losses. This was no accident. [Biden's] administration has delivered the strongest recovery in the world.

Reporter: If it's presented to him [Laken Riley Act] before he leaves office on the twentieth, will he sign that bill or veto it?

Jean Pierre: I'm not going to get ahead of what's happening…I'm going to let the process play out…we want to evaluate the bill. We haven't done that yet.

Jean Pierre: We will be making some more additional announcements on pardons and commutations before the end of his term.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger [press conference]: I'm also hearing that people; I know yesterday we announced that FEMA has set up a website, and I'm seeing that people are filling out the form and being denied…it is completely mind boggling to me that people who have lost everything are filling out a form, as told, and are getting an immediate denial.
