Let Johnson continue his stupidity. The idiotic fool will be voted out of office. Louisianians are smart and won't allow him to continue to embarrass them as their representative.

Democrats should have played hardball these past 4 years, and we might not be in this mess now.

Democrats never stoop low to hurt the ppl... but man those Rs look for ways, if that doesn't work they make the ways

This is what the maga has brought the country to.

I get the point, completely understand but for gods' sake, ordinary people, poor people, people with no real influence either way in red or blue States will pay the price for this political tit-for-tat. What a state this World is in.

I don't know the answer before anyone asks. It's tragic.

Hurricanes are totally DeSantis' fault. He's not going door to door stacking up patio furniture & tying it with bungee cords like a bowed present, then chaining that to the houses which he neglects to handout massive needle eye bolts. So, Dem Pres? "No FEMA for you!" #soupnazi

It won't matter. The Democrats have capitulated to the plutocrats as thoroughly as the Republicans.

Except the 'christians' of the GOP know that, no matter how much they deny services, relief & assistance to 'blue states'..

the Dems / liberals / progressives will do what is right for our 'fellow' citizens.

huh .. go figure

We wouldn't though, because we are not like that. It would be easier if we were, but we help people in despair, we don't kick them in the teeth.

I just think it's a really bad precedent, and, yeah, I do think it could have slingshot effects," Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) told Axios in a brief interview at the Capitol.

This makes me feel sick that Democrats would EVER stoop so low as to adopt any disgusting Republican tactics. I hope that is wrong. I would prefer to split into 2 countries before we would behave so despicably toward a state’s population.

Speaker Johnson should remember the proverb DO NOT POKE A SLEEPING BEAR. He has no idea who he's fkn with. The grease just drips off this guy. His smug arrogant pompous self righteous attitude makes me wanna throw up.

These R traitors don't represent The United States or have any interest in serving the people of The United States.

No they wont. Only MAGA and the GOP are that cruel.

We all remember. I remember when the red states would not approve funding after hurricane Sandy. And that was just a little old me in New Jersey. The people do not forget.
