As Hurricane Helene careened toward Floridaās Panhandle, numerousĀ Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week,Ā Congress approved $20 billion for FEMAās disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.
TheĀ Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.
Some of the Republicans who voted against the bill represent states that have been hard hit by Helene, includingĀ Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Sigh. Donāt be so dramatic. Iām just here to talk about the actual subject of this post. I didnāt care about your voting preferences. I just think itās wrong to try and block disaster aid.
Lol āsighā followed by ādonāt be dramaticā, classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic
Kinda weird to say āI donāt care about your voting preferencesā after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)
Your voting preferences are not verifiable and therefore not important to this conversation. The only thing that we can currently verify about you is that you really really donāt want to talk about Republicans blocking aid to hurricane victims. What do you think about the subject of this post?
