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.

They do it to themselves too. They try to speak for everyone and it never works, because you can only speak for yourself.
It confuses people who are trying to understand the world. They are trying to learn from people that will never understand the world. Its really dumb.
Iām speaking directly about the republicans in power.
Their motives are crystal clear and their actions are NOT EVER designed to help regular citizens that they are supposed to serve.
This is a simple fact of life and instead of grasping ahold of reality, you attack my worldview instead. That says multitudes.
