Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday said passing additional hurricane aid for states impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton “can wait” until Congress is back in session after the election.
CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked him why he thinks it’s fine to wait until November for Congress to pass more aid for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton victims.
…
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) was part of a bipartisan group of senators to sign a letter urging Senate leaders to think about bringing lawmakers back into session this month to enact disaster legislation before the end of the year.
House lawmakers have also urged Johnson to bring the chamber back into session. A group of Democrats sent a letter last week asking him to do so, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) posted on the social media platform X, “If Congress goes into a special session we can get it passed immediately. This needs to happen. @SpeakerJohnson call us back.”

I’m a Republican Voter in Florida and this REAFFIRMS my LOVE of Voting Republican! I’d rather LOSE MY HOME then to have my Tax Dollars help me instead of a Billionaire!
I wish we could get all the innocent people out of Florida and leave only people like you to get eaten by alligators :3
Nvm your post in c/conservative a while ago is making fun of them, you’ve really gotta start putting some /s’s in those shitposts friend, this was almost obvious but republicans are Literally Unhinged and most would unironically say and believe everything in this comment
There was a silent /s at the end
Edit: I think you might understand that and are playing along. Apologies
Vacation is much more important than your supporters.
Monday morning:
Article II, Section 3 them, Biden. Prove to the county who really want to help the county and who wants to help themselves.
the republicants wouldn’t pass anything, other than some nonsense whining about why they were called back to session.
Yeah, obvs that $20 billion wasn’t enough because climate change. So more is still needed.
This is a great idea!
Not sure what your point is, also given Katrina cost some 100 billion in 2005 dollars
Johnson is wrong to delay funding this because the next hurricane or other upcoming climate change related disaster will exhaust the current funds, so Biden absolutely should use his powers under Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution to convene another session of Congress specifically to get that funding in.
I really don’t know how to make it any clearer. Also, don’t get why you downvoted me…
They are doing this because they know they will be able manipulate their base into saying this was Bidens fault.
The Republican party continues to eat its own tail, and as usual the citizens are the only ones to suffer any consequences.
