Suozzi: It’s completely unacceptable—I can’t even imagine that it’s even being considered. Mike Johnson is from Louisiana—remember Hurricane Katrina? Think of all the disasters that have gone through Louisiana...

This is why you guys need to grow a spine and stand up to these Trump dick-suckers, whether they like it or not. If you believe in the Constitution to serve, protect, and defend us Americans, then be more aggressive and tell them this is not ok and normal.
Someone needs to explain this to the Speaker: once you cross the Rubicon of partisanship on things like disaster relief, you enable it to become a common practice to be utilized by the party in power. A very poor precedent.
Suozzi sounds surprised that the Republicans would use FEMA aid as a bargaining chip to blackmail California.
Where has he been?
Trump has been talking about getting retribution and revenge on Democrats for over 1 1/2 years.
Next time there's a hurricane, tornado, or flood do the same things to those states. Tell them there due to all their negligence in denying climate change that any monies need to be tightly controlled to make sure it's not wasted on further mismanagement of their environment. See how that plays lol
If aid to California comes with strings attached, Democrats should ensure that any future aid package to Red states includes a condition: the mandatory removal of all Republican representatives from that state.
Louisiana, need federal funds? Replace your senators and congressmen with Democrats.
Your words are all good congressman, but they fall on deaf ears on the right. There is a code to join their club. They must have an common enemy to hate, spread lied & conspiracies and at all cost elevate their orange master and leave all morals behind!
Agree. I’ve said it for the past week. If Newsome is responsible for the water system - who is responsible for the levees failing during Katrina? Or the hydrants running dry in Tennessee?
the very idea that any GOP Pol from a state that has needed disaster relief in the past would be anything at all besides wildly enthusiastic about not giving aid to CA bc they dont kiss tRUmp ass is laughable
..why even act like they'd do anything else?
Oh I know. I live here. We go from 1 disaster to the next. Maga Mike is just the latest. I lost everything in Katrina. Lots of people did. Repubelicans screwed us then & they’re screwing us now. So I enjoy the good things we do have. Good food & good music. They call it the blues for a reason.
Someone big on the Democrats side needs to call Johnson out in the media for the hypocrisy. the only way we get back to sanity is punching back on their bullshit
Before Blue states continue to shovel Federal dollars yet again to Red States, first the Red States must finally institute their plans to bring up their education systems, improve the employability of workers, and usher in new manufacturing/businesses. Enough of forever underdevelopment

From the taker state of Missouri .. national emergencies use to bring us together .. what happened to us? I would never want federal funding withheld from states hit by hurricanes be they red or blue states .. this is so discouraging 😢
California adds a lot of money to the federal government..
To Republicans: As someone who lives in CA I’m telling my reps that we put conditions on any $ sent to the federal government. It cant be used in any Red State whose education,healthcare & poverty level is in the bottom 1/3 of the country. Sorry but there are going to have to be strings attached.
Does that fucking tool even know that the forest which is burning in Altadena is FEDERAL land? Yeah, it's called the Angeles National Forest. Begs the question - what the fuck has he done, since he's been in power, to do some of the shit the GOP and Trump claim would have prevented the fire?

California contributes more to the federal budget than any other state, unlike Speaker Mike Johnson’s Louisiana which is a federal welfare state, like many other impoverished GOP run states.
The confirmation hearings are no longer used as a job interview. They are a pony show to act like we have representation in government. This song & dance pacifies the public. Government lost the propoganda naritive when Ticktok came out. This is why they are getting rid of it. Welcome in tyranny.
In the last 20 yrs, Louisiana has received almost $18 billion in federal aid. No one, has suggested that the people or representatives need to be schooled on how to deal with natural disasters.
Yet Senator John Kennedy, he of the Big Red Cup trying to run the press conference on the Bourbon Street shooting, voted against the California Wildfire bill that would have helped another state. Foghorn Leghorn in a brown shirt.
The strings attached will probably be that New some must resign. Dear Orange Leader hates him because he points out what a liar & fool tRump is . So Newsome should "forget" to send tax money to DC. Red states will be crying for their money!
Well Mr. Suozzi you better start imagining because the worst shit you can think of for our country is on the horizon; fascism, theocracy, kleptocracy, authoritarianism, concentration camps, every evil political ideology is in the toxic stew of US right wingers.
Democrats need to stop voting for disaster relief funds going to red states until the Republicans learn that natural disasters are not to be politicized.
Does Mike Johnson not recall that those who sow the wind, reap the whirlwind? Perhaps Moses 2.0 believes he has the armor of god and need not worry about such retribution? Such an act sets a terrible precedent.

CA likely sends more money to DC than any 10 MAGA states excluding FL & TX.

Historic: Blizzard warning issued for areas of Louisiana
If there is a power emergency or any other weather related emergency let them freeze. Isn’t that the new norm under Trump?
Climate change comes for red states & blue states. Apparently that is news to Johnson & Trump
CA’s economy is the largest in the US with a $4.080 trillion gross state product (GSP) as of 2024.
CA can negotiate directly with Canada & Mexico. I bet a deal with two foreign countries with compassion can be accomplished.
To hell with Trump & his Nazi billionaire cabal.
we’ll see how long herbie can keep keebler hollow cooking without any sugar
