The House on Friday passed legislation to extend funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund through 2090, weeks after the bill received nationwide attention following impassioned pleas for support from surviving first responders and comedian Jon Stewart.
The bill easily cleared the House with a vote of 402-12, and will now be sent to the Senate, where timing on that vote is not yet clear, though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to hold a vote on the legislation. Moments after the House passage, McConnell's office issued a statement that the chamber would consider"this important legislation soon.
What this 9/11 responder whispered to Jon Stewart 01:55"Mitch McConnell made a commitment to the 9/11 community and my team leaders that he is going to help us get a piece of legislation that is going to be passed in the House in July, for an August vote in the Senate," Feal said at the time.
What price had to be paid for passage of this funding? Look at these victims! Why was there any hesitation, ever?! It took a tv personality to show leadership that was nowhere in the present Administration. Appalling. God rest unsung heroes, alive or gone.🌺
They passed this and then cut funding for military families, assholes: the House of Representatives. They just voted to CUT our military’s personnel accounts—the very accounts that fund troop pay, benefits, and housing.
The dems/non capitalist's propaganda media/ alleged journalists are so funny. Anything POTUS says, the CNN, MSMBC,ABC,CBS.NBC machine twists it. If POTUS said his poop was the world's smelliest, the above would say oh no our sources say, POTUS's poop smells like pink roses
What’s Turtleman gonna do?
I'm sure McConnell will stonewall 'it' until someone embarrasses him into bringing 'it' to the floor for consideration / a vote.
Who are the 12 that voted against the bill?
It should be right after the house voted on it. It's a no brainer. Oh wait a minute, that would mean Mitch McConnell would have to get his head out of his own ass, to hear the House passed a bill!
The full story of 9/11 will be told soon ! Domestic attack ! VICE
Who were the 12 that voted against it?
Zionist Israel did 9/11 with America's blessing!
This breaks my 💔
The Regressive Republicans in the Senate will add poison pills, and goodies for themselves. Then, they'll accuse Senate Democrats of not supporting first responders, when they vote for it.
senatemajldr McConnell has said in the past that any bills passed by the House are socialism and will not even be considered in the Senate.
Hooray!
FIRST USEFUL THING THE HOUSE HAS PASSED ALL SESSION! At least they have done SOMETHING in 2019. LOL
It should only take a day people. Pass the bill.
I dunno, does lord McConnell find it 'worthy'? It doesn't benefit any corporations or him personally, so I don't think he really cares.
