As Hurricane Helene careened toward Florida’s Panhandle, numerous Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week, Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA’s 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.
The 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, including Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Goddamn, you types are really weird. There’s always one of you calling me a pLaNt. I don’t even see what my motivation would be, lol “omg he’s saying people are multidimensional and have different motivations, must be a Republican PLANT trying to KEEP OTHERS FROM ENGAGING”, lol it “WILL NOT WORK HERE”, do you hear yourself and how insane that sounds? As if that’s more plausible than a progressive dem that believes that maybe 50% of the country aren’t solely motivated by the drive to inflict suffering?
what a dimented worldview to have, I genuinely feel sorry for you, that that’s the world you live in. That my totally reasonable takes in this thread defines me, a literal straight-ticket dem voter for 20 years, as a Republican plant
Good thing everything on the internet is true. You must be a real “dem” for sure. That is how us “dems” refer to ourselves all the time. Right fellow dem? Actually, I’m not a dem. I’m a straight ticket repub. I’ve just become disenfranchised with my party due to their policies which is what this post is actually about. For some reason you want to talk about anything but that though… Strange.
Instead of trying to convince people of something completely unverifiable, do you care to comment on the actual subject of this post or are you just here to complain about how everyone picks on the poor Republicans who are actively trying to block aid to hurricane victims so that they’ll be unable to vote in swing states?
Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you don’t want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.
What? Lol. You’re not even coherent anymore. Do you care to comment about the actual subject of this post though?
