    1. This, like so many bills, is deceptively named.

      It was actually a continuing resolution and contained, in addition to FEMA,

      several public health programs,
      various programs and authorities related to veterans,
      the National Flood Insurance Program,
      the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program,
      the Food for Peace program,
      the authorities of the U.S. Parole Commission,
      the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity Protection System,
      authorities for DHS and the Department of Justice to take certain actions to mitigate a credible threat from an unmanned aircraft system,
      several Department of Agriculture programs and authorities,
      the Department of Defense’s authority to use funds for certain military construction projects, and
      authorities for sanctions related to human rights abuses in Hong Kong.

      So in your data set if someone is opposed to any one of these additional programs they are ‘bad’, because they said no?

      Bad data is bad data. Good data presented deceptively is worse data.

    2. If you’re a Democrat and you’re looking at this thinking “fuck em” that’s exactly how Republican representatives want you to think.

      They want to divide the country, don’t let them.

      I just want to say this first map really shows you something different about the data. Maps with landmass area are deceptive in significance of effect on the overall outcome. A small dot on many places on this map could be as many people as an entire large square. Also why we have more than just the Senate, but I digress this is about data representation and you can see the problem.

    4. That chunk of red in Florida seems to be rather similar in area to the cone of uncertainty for Milton.

    5. An all of them who voted no will cry FEMA didn’t, do enough, or help at all, or some twisted headline BS. They will side step the blame as always with 0 accountability for their action, and the voters do nothing about it.

    6. This was the bill that prevented the government to shut down on Oct. 1 2024, for those that didn’t know.

    7. You got to be kidding me. You live in FL in the most natural disaster prone state, and you vote NOOn something that will certainly help you one day. How dumb are these people.

    8. All of those republicans in the path of the hurricane voting no. They don’t give a fuck about their constituents.
