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.

Iām not sure youāre making the point you think youāre making. Do you want to point to a dem policy? So I can tell you exactly who profited?
Jk I donāt actually care lol. The vitriol I receive from saying āhumans arenāt black and white, 50% of the country arenāt motivated solely by causing sufferingā is reward enough.
