Democrats are explicitly opposed to a clean DHS funding bill with no changes.
- KaiserPro 7mo ago> They aren't clean bills, so this is absolutely irrelevant. I mean its not really irrelevant, its a calculated move from both sides.
- vkou 7mo agoTheir bills are the clean bills. Yesterday's vote was a simple yea or nay for TSA funding. The Republicans voted against it. The GOP refuses to fund the TSA without tying a whole bunch of other fascist shit to it. This crisis is manufactured.
- 0xy 7mo ago[flagged]
- vkou 7mo agoThey'll vote for a clean TSA funding bill. Why are the reps tying all the star chamber shit they are doing with ICE to TSA funding?
- 0xy 7mo agoCool, so no FEMA funding. Good luck with the next disaster everyone, Democrats are politically grandstanding again.
- vkou 7mo agoI'm sure they'll vote for a clean FEMA bill, too.
- 0xy 7mo agoHuh? The Democrats bill did not include FEMA funding.
- vkou 7mo agoGive them a clean FEMA bill, and they'll vote for it.
- cosmicgadget 7mo agoCongress is allowed to pass more than one bill. Hope this helps.
- 0xy 7mo agoYou're right, please link the Democrat proposed FEMA funding bill.
- cosmicgadget 7mo agoThey don't need to propose all clean funding bills simultaneously. Hope this helps.
- cosmicgadget 7mo ago"Things aren't looking good for us with TSA funding. Better pivot to FEMA!"
- orwin 7mo agoI'm not sure about all the Americains acronyms, so DHS is Department of Homeland Security i guess, what does it have to do with your Emergency department? if i understand correctly, FEMA is your federal hurricane/flood/fire emergency response, wouldn't it be better for it to work closer with meteorologists and urban development? or at worst be independent? And especially if so much is put under the same umbrella, i would rather have my representative vote the funding of one sub-agency after the other. Yes it is more work for them, but that's their job, and "all included" budgets bill are, in my opinion and after my government shafted us 3 time in a row, undemocratic.
- 0xy 7mo agoFEMA is a part of DHS, and none of the bills proposed by Democrats fund it.
- esalman 7mo agoWhy should they? Has there been any investigation or accountability into the (livestreamed) death of US citizens in the hand of DHS?
- selectodude 7mo agoAs they should be. I don’t want to fund DHS and I’m happy my reps are doing their job to keep it shut down. Funding TSA specifically is acceptable and has in fact been voted down in the senate by republicans several times now.
- 0xy 7mo agoWhy do you oppose FEMA funding?
- selectodude 7mo agoWhat’s left of FEMA? Anyway their disaster response is not impacted by the lapse in funding. They’re currently on the ground doing something or other in Hawaii.
- 0xy 7mo agoThis is completely incorrect. FEMA has ceased public assistance for ongoing and historical disasters.
- selectodude 7mo agoYou should let FEMA and the state of Hawaii know then. They must be really fucking confused. Thanks 0xy for bringing the knowledge. https://www.khon2.com/kona-low/governor-green-kona-low/amp/ https://www.khon2.com/kona-low/governor-green-kona-low/amp/
- 0xy 7mo agoDid you read the post you replied to? I very clearly stated ongoing and historical disasters. Meaning disasters that started before the DHS shutdown and were still ongoing, not new disasters.
- aaomidi 7mo agoFEMA does not and should not be a part of DHS. Good try though.
- rdegges 7mo agoThis is straight up untrue. There are clean bill proposals to fund TSA that Republicans have rejected. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/are-the-proposed-tsa-funding-b-M3EseLYkSnugW0fNQ5Y59w https://www.perplexity.ai/search/are-the-proposed-tsa-fundin...
