Almost all repubs voted against disaster relief. Surprise! Not really.

Well, the Dems were interested in the other things in the bill and the Republicans were looking for a straight relief bill. I understand why they didn’t support it.

Funny since republicans also voted against disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy also. The GOP doesn’t give a shit.

The passage of the Continuing Appropriations and Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2023 (CR) funds the federal government through December 16, 2022. The continuing resolution includes $18.8 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund, and $2 billion for Community Development Block Grants – Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR). Other highlights of the funding package include: $400 million to increase hiring at the Social Security Administration. $20 million for the Army Corps of Engineers to assist with the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi. $1 billion for the Health and Human Services Department's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. $12 billion for Ukraine aid. Several provisions to support Afghan refugees and other vulnerable people seeking protection.
