In the wake of Hurricane Milton devastating parts of Florida, Congresswoman Kathy Castor is urging Congress to take action and approve more disaster funding to support recovery efforts. In an interview on Meet the Press NOW, Rep. Castor provided an update on the ongoing recovery efforts and highlighted the urgent need for additional funding to help communities rebuild and recover.

As Florida continues to grapple with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, Rep. Castor’s call for Congress to return and pass disaster funding highlights the critical need for support in the affected communities. It is imperative that Congress acts swiftly to ensure that residents receive the assistance they need to rebuild their lives and communities in the wake of this devastating natural disaster.

Are all these Castor women related to Betty Castor?
Mikey isn't going to do that and I am pretty sure Donnie doesn't want it either, so it won't happen.
Really?
East Florida is not the same as West Florida.
It is appauling now the names of Florida, although mostly Spanish, the souls who live here have no concern.
Mexico!! Hurricane 🌀 John.
Thats doesnt seem to Matter.
Meanwhil the Gulf of Mexico is mentioned daily.
GQP congress can't be bothered with people in need. Remember that on election day. Vote those out, who refuse to help the struggling citizens.
Hhhhhh
That is wearing from God

Speaker Johnson stated that the House of Representatives would NOT reassemble until after the election. As it often takes days, or even a couple of weeks, to count all the votes, it may easily be six weeks or more from today before it assembles, which doesn’t count the miserable amount of time it will take for the House to come up with and vote on disaster relief aid.

FEMA $750….
Fake Anti-DeSantis NBC news
Stop politicizing the storms. The misinformation/disinformation from the left is out of control. One official says from the left says there is not money then another from the left says there is money. This is ridiculous! This is not helping anyone and just creating more division and chaos.
We need to help rebuild States that are hurting from natural disasters, it's just florida that feels needs to make some serious major changes. It's good money going to bad investments. This cycle of year after year of predictable devastation from hurricanes in Florida. Your not going to stop Hurricanes from hitting Florida. Florida needs to limit damages to minimize cost. Every year it cost more and more to rebuild in Florida. FEMA money needs to be used to help our country, but not wasted on the same repeated disasters over and over. Florida needs to make some very hard decisions. Insurance companies have or are leaving left florida for this issue.
Somebody high up said let this be a lesson
People here on the West coast are tired of paying for Red republican States and their disasters. What does Florida contribute to our National Budget in comparison to the amount that Americans have to pay to rebuild their communities. I thought that the GOP was against socialism. I guess they don't like welfare because it takes away from their Honey pot
Florida hates socialism until they need it 🤣
Speaker Johnson does not want to reconvene until after the election. He's purposely making resources scares so that the MAGA echo chamber can blame it on Biden on botching hurricane response.
I don't remember Congress being so quick to action during other times of need
This is an emergency. They need to come back and help with funding and resources.
Sorry, we're too busy funding Ukraine and Israel
Mayorkas said in August that FEMA was ready for hurricane season
$2.3 BILLION spent on housing for Migrants in ONE City.
How much will be spent building new homes for American citizens who lost everything in the hurricanes? .
Anyone still thinks this administration deserves another four years?
No
Same person who let fema give illegals millions
No. Just do what Harris did. Go on tv and drink beer. Don't bother helping hurricane victims.

Didn't you voted No on the FEMA budget? All the GOP congress from FL voted No, but want more money now. What a bunch of nutcases.
