The Texas Flooding Emotional Support Line provides free crisis counseling from personnel trained to work with disaster survivors, according to a press release.

Gov. Greg Abbott is facing fierce criticism after dismissing questions about state and local officials' response to the deadly Texas Hill Country flooding, calling efforts to assign blame "the word choice of losers" and likening the ongoing disaster to a football game.

In the wake of the deadly floods, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott suggested that looking into who is to blame is “the word choice of losers.”

Texas special session called to address flood warning failures and emergency response after Hill Country flooding caused more than 100 deaths.

The claim spread widely on social media after the floods that devastated the Lone Star State in early July 2025.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday said investigative committees in the House and Senate will look at the response to deadly flooding in Central Texas, but cautioned not to place blame on any singular source.

After his comments, many shared their criticism of Abbott on social media. Make Mindful Decisions posted on X, "That's absolutely tone-deaf. When lives are lost, the first question should be accountability—not cheesy sports metaphors. Abbott's locker room act is exactly what people don't need right now."

Flags are half-staff across Texas today, as Gov. Greg Abbott ordered them lowered to honor the victims of the deadly Texas floods.
