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.”

The dude who shares jerkoff information with his son and can’t be bothered to help the people of this country.
All of the Republicans and those that continue to vote for them are just fuckin’ weird.
Hey Chuck, are you finally willing to admit you were wrong all along? Survival of the fittest sounds good, but if you just kinda… look around… you can clearly see all the evidence against that theory, right?
Well, fittest doesn’t necessarily mean the smartest.
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
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.
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…
I misinterpreted you, my bad
No worries, I accept responsibility - I must have phrased it badly or something.
If it were to get more money for war everyone would be in full session
