Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Just to be clear, only Republicans voted against this.
Inb4 “Why are they only talking about Republican no votes???”
Can’t let the libs have a win! Even at the cost of hundreds or thousands of lives.
Some of you will die, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Don't worry. Fema will run out of money before the end of hurricane season and Christian Nationalist Mike Johnson has refused to hold any votes giving it additional funding until after the election.
Democrats need to be pushing this out into the public consciousness hard, so when Fema does run out of money and people in dire need can't get help, they know who to blame.
Yup, just air Mike Johnson saying "I won't hold votes on this until the election is over". The ad copy writes itself: Republicans don't care how many of you or your loved ones die.
I said the same thing. Harris needs to player this on ads everywhere.
One would think the next senate/house election in an area saying, "This guy voted against disaster relief for a disaster that directly affected you" would be an absolute killer, but some of these folks would vote for Lucifer if he had a R next to his name.
And would refuse to vote for Jesus if he ran as a Dem.
They would refuse to vote for Jesus because he's to woke, regardless of party. XD
They would refuse to vote for Jesus because he's a non-white Middle Easterner with a Mexican name.
Her name is R-Kamala Harris.
Instant win!
"How could I possibly vote for the DEMONcrat party?" - the qons, probably.
Well all these representatives go back to their districts and then lie about it. And they say they voted for the relief but Biden denied it.
In fact, only one request has been denied in recent memory and it was by Trump.
Absolutely ridiculous that Newsweek would post this biased one-sided list. Why only list the GOP "no" votes?! Both sides!
Here's a list of all the Democrats that voted against FEMA funding:
Part of me wishes we could simply not help these states. But there are people among them that don't deserve it.
It's more than unfair, it's wicked that the majority of people are being represented by minority voices. It's costing lives that we aren't fixing this.
Please, please please people, get more involved in your state and county and community politics so these people stop running uncontested and unexposed.
And even when it doesn't actually kill people, it's ruining people's lives and fun in ways they often will never recover from.
I still love the fact that "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a joke because it's obviously impossible, and republicans were just too fucking stupid to get it so they're like "lol this is our economic policy"
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 haven't gone extinct but then I remember we've been working on it (climate change) for a long time.
How else do you get to stir shit about fema not having funds if they are properly funded?
It makes sense. The only people killed by Helene were gays, immigrants (there were no immigrants in Eden!), and this one guy who was "curious" about being an immigrant. /s
What is absolutely absurd to me is the fact that there are votes against from Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. The three states who vastly out consume the FEMA budget annually since 2015.
Why are we giving NC anything? They need to develop personnel responsibility. Also this is gods judgement on them for something. /s I am trying to replicate GOP thinking. How did I do?
there should be an organization that just puts these names on billboards around the country or something, i think that would be funny.
It happens often enough you could easily make this a thing anyway.
Now the orange supporting shit stains have Hurricane Milton on their hands.
