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.

I still love the fact that āpull yourself up by your bootstrapsā is a joke because itās obviously impossible, and republicans were just too fucking stupid to get it so theyāre like ālol this is our economic policyā
These idiots think FEMA is for death camps not disaster relief so in thier conspiracy ridden easily controlled minds, republicans who voted no are heroes.
sometimes I wonder how we havenāt gone extinct but then I remember weāve been working on it (climate change) for a long time.
