Congress is rushing to wrap up a long-overdue $19 billion disaster aid package, but only after Democrats insisted on jettisoning President Trump's $4.5 billion request to handle an unprecedented influx of migrants at the southern border.

All but a few homes in the Pine Grove Mobile Home Park were destroyed in the Camp fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history.

The bill’s funding can be used by states to address the consequences of last year’s wildfires and hurricanes, including those in California and along the East Coast, respectively, as well as tornadoes and floods in the Midwest this year. “We got into this paradigm or game where it’s a zero sum operation where somebody has to win and somebody has to lose and that’s not conducive to compromise,” Cornyn said.

The honest truth. Why won't you report on those stories? That our border patrol agents are law enforcement officers, but they are caring for these kids. They are heroes. But you demonize heroes. And you lionize the people who won't pay a penny for the border. Stop the agenda crap

The President should assign the Congress to the border to perform humanitarian work. They are still being paid while the BP budget is shot because of the Democrat induced run on our border.

Death sentence for California!

It is so sad how realDonaldTrump is always willing to hurt the American people to gain what he wants, to get his way. He will shut down the government on a whim, he will with hold needed money for emergency areas... how childish is this man? How ignorant? Big embarrassment.

Enjoy, LA.
