12:05 p.m.

President Donald Trump is promising billions to help Texas rebuild from Hurricane Harvey, but his Republican allies in the House are looking at cutting almost $1 billion from disaster accounts to help finance the president’s border wall.

The pending reduction to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief account is part of a spending bill that the House is scheduled to consider next week when Congress returns from its August recess. The $876 million cut, part of the 1,305-page measure’s homeland security section, pays for roughly half the cost of Trump’s down payment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall.

It seems sure that GOP leaders will move to reverse the disaster aid cut next week. The optics are politically bad and there’s only $2.3 billion remaining in disaster coffers.

1. Really, what ?

5. Rescission : the revocation, cancellation, or repeal of a law, order, or agreement.

The house GOP wants to rescind almost 1 billion dollars in FEMA funding.

17. Thanks, it wasn't clear what the thread was about.

2. Another posts that attacks Democrats...why?

[phleshdef]

3. You misread the original post. Its sharing a statement made by the Senate Dems twitter account.

[Sugar Smack]

6. You could put quotes around "Really?" in your header to clarify

Because that's the reaction of the Senate Dems

[Demsrule86]

13. Definitely needs to be changed to reflect the Senate Democrats ask why not that they

are somehow to blame.

[Demsrule86]

8. How did I misread it? The OP is asking 'why' sounds accusatory to me.

[Demsrule86]

9. And 'why' means what exactly?

[phleshdef]

18. Sigh. Its painfully obvious if you just take 10 seconds and look at what is posted.

Its FROM the Senate Dems twitter account, that much is immediately obvious. The twitter post is an image of proposed budget rescission items. That means CUTS. The House GOP wants to cut FEMA funding by almost 900 million. The Senate Dems are saying "Really?" as in why the fuck would we ever want to do that.

16. Changing that with quotes would clarify that Dems are saying that, and not you about Dems.

[phleshdef]

19. To begin with, I'm not the OP. But I understood what was being posted without any problem.

I have a palpable attention span, actually looked at what was being posted and didn't jump to any conclusions based off the title and/or lack of quotes.

4. It was the Senate Dems Twitter account

that put it out. It's funds that the pukes want to take from the Disaster Relief Fund to help pay for shitheels wall.

[Demsrule86]

11. Sounds fake...why address it to Senate Democrats? And it reads as an attack in my opinon.

If that is not what is meant how about 'Repukes why?'

[sharp_stick]

14. It's not fake

It's the Senate democratic leadership Twitter account. The term "Really?" is what they wrote in response to the image showing the suggested recessions by the Republicans.

[Demsrule86]

15. I get that. I read the posts. But fix the text...then it will be clear that Democrats are asking

why and not participating.

[Achilleaze]

7. republicans pissing on American flood victims

as if they hadn't screwed up massively already, the republicans want to steal money from America's flood victims.

Freaking double deplorable.

[Demsrule86]

10. And this was addressed to Senate Democrats...if pukes are doing this why attack Democrats who have

no power to change anything?

[alarimer]

20. You are deliberately misinterpreting the OP.

It is not addressing Senate Democrats, but quoting the tweet, as the post makes clear.

Falsely accusing people of bashing Democrats is wrong.

12. All for the arsehole's pet project.

[sinkingfeeling]

21. The whole list should be circled in red. TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA .
