U.S. House speaker pitches conditions on disaster aid, upending long-standing practice https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/011525_disaster_aid/us-house-speaker-pitches-conditions-disaster-aid-upending-long-standing-practice/
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said Congress will likely provide billions in disaster aid to help California recover from devastating wildfires, but indicated he might set a new precedent by placing conditions on that emergency funding based on policy and political differences.
#Tucson #Arizona
Republican voters are assholes.
@TucsonSentinel MAGAts are the scum of the earth.
@TucsonSentinel In #gqp speak (grifter qanon prick), this means, "Vote for #MAGAmoron's debt ceiling increase or we'll hold #California hostage."
@TucsonSentinel Glass houses, Mr. Speaker. Much of Louisiana's coastline is slowly sinking into the sea. Your feet are dry and protected from flooding by over 3,000 miles of levees, nearly three-quarters installed and maintained with federal tax dollars. Since 1932, Louisiana has lost “an area nearly twice the size of Rhode Island.” Presently, Louisiana and its state and local leaders lose 25-35 square miles! of land each year to the sea. LOST, Mr. Speaker.
