The fighting words come as #FEMA’s #DisasterRelief #fund is rapidly running out of #money in the wake of #Idalia, unprecedented #flooding in #Vermont & devastating #wildfires in #Maui.
#Scientists say #ClimateChange is increasing the frequency & intensity of such #WeatherDisasters, further straining FEMA’s #budget & personnel.

Rep #RalphNorman (R), whose state was also inundated by #flooding from #Idalia, told reporters yesterday that it would be “unacceptable” to pass a #stopgap #funding bill that doesn’t offer these #concessions….
“It’s time to fight,” Norman said. “If it shuts the government down, shut it down.”#ForMeButNotForThee #TheRealWeaponizationOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower #PublicDisservice #PoliticsOfAppeasement #GovernmentShutdown

In addition to “no blank check for #Ukraine,” the #FreedomCaucus is demanding more funding for #BorderSecurity, #cuts to the #DOJ & the #FBI, & an end to “#woke” policies at the #DOD.#ForMeButNotForThee #TheRealWeaponizationOfGovernment #AbuseOfPower #PublicDisservice
