Maybe just one time, Republicans in Congress can do the right thing and devote the power of the purse to helping the people of Hawaii, while telling Zelensky and the Biden regime to take a hike.

I won't hold my breath. Great article, those pictures are heartbreaking. It's unconscionable that we're sending billions of dollars overseas while the country crumbles around us.

What's especially shameful is the legislative ploy they're reportedly going to use for the next round of Ukraine "aid": packaging it with disaster relief. So anyone who votes against the bill will be accused of heartlessly voting against relief for Maui victims.
The Biden administration on Thursday asked Congress to provide more than $13 billion in emergency defense aid to Ukraine and an additional $8 billion for humanitarian support through the end of the year, another massive infusion of cash as the Russian invasion wears on and Ukraine pushes a counteroffensive against the KremlinтАЩs deeply entrenched forces.
The package includes $12 billion to replenish U.S. federal disaster funds at home after a deadly climate season of heat and storms, and funds to bolster the enforcement at the Southern border with Mexico, including money to curb the flow of deadly fentanyl. All told, itтАЩs a $40 billion package.

No doubt that money will be funneled toward climate change.....

Sounds like when they packaged up the poker-killing language into a SAFE PORT bill.....
Do you have an URL about this plan to package them up?
Doesn't say Maui specifically but "$8 billion for humanitarian support."
