While 150 Republicans voted against the bill, 34 voted in support. A number of Republicans who backed the aid package represent states recovering from hurricanes and flooding, like Florida, Texas, Georgia and Nebraska.allowing House Democrats to formally stake their latest negotiating position, four months after passing their first disaster aid offer in January.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro , in a heated floor speech, said Democrats are waiting on more information from the White House about the president’s recent request for billions to handle humanitarian and security needs at the border. “I appreciate the president’s favorable comments about the agricultural community," Scott said. "But when things are then handed off to people at the Office of Management and Budget, who consider the American farmer and the American farm family nothing but subsidy-sucking freeloaders, then there’s a disconnect in what is actually coming out of the administration, and what the administration is telling us that they’re going to do.
'Funneling.' Politico is really, really bad. It's the Pot Noodles of journalism. Cheap, quick and not much thought put into preparation.

Do four year olds write for Politico. What the hell is the intention of using “funneling”. So many journalists out of work with newspapers shutting down. Hire better people to write for you Politico.
Your very construct here is troubling. Puerto Rico is part of the US. Trump has lied repeatedly about aid to the island. DO BETTER!
Funneling money into Texas... Wait that doesn't sound right. Oh nevermind, it's PR. Go right ahead.
Funneling?!
If they still need aid, isn't it just funding? Why should we deal? These are citizens.
funneling?
Funneling? Word matter how more than ever. You have to do better than this.
”FUNNELING”?...
Funneling smfh.
...more of Trump's 'screw the slaves' BS
Russian 'funneled' money through the NRA and GOP. Oligarchs 'funneled' money through Trump's luxury apartment buildings. Trump refused to 'provide aid' to Puerto Rico after the worst hurricane to hit the island, preferring to let thousands die needlessly.
Funneling. Seriously. You guys know Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. right? Would Trump 'funnel' money to Texas? Florida? Do SO much better Politico. Your need to appear in the center is getting humiliating.
Puerto Rico is part of the United States. It's citizens are United States citizens.
Funneling?
Congressionally granted necessary disaster aid is not 'funneling money' Politico. W T H kind of journalism is that?
why are you so terrible at reporting?
Why should Democrats sanction Trump’s continued persecution of Puerto Rico?
'funneling' implies something unsavory is going on...bad choice of words.
It will die on the senate floor where all bills go to die as long as DitchMitch and his cohorts occupy that chamber. Let's get rid of as many of them as we can in 2020 so that the entire congress does actually work in the people's behalf.
You meant “allocating”
Do better politico. Your headline is propaganda.
*funneling* delete this ridiculous tweet.
Journalism is dead in America.
funneling? what a ridiculous choice of word. do you use that in connection to other disaster relief situations?
Ok, then lets stop funneling money to Texass and Florida as well, or do we not use that word in regards the shithole states republicans control?

'funneling'?
“Funneling”?
“funneling” - disgusting and disgraceful. It’s called disaster relief for millions of Americans in need. The media is pathetic. In this case harmful.
Trump is acting purely out of bigotry, and it is your job as journalists to say so. Y'all suck.
Let me fix this for you; providing the American citizens in Puerto Rico the resources and support needed to help recover from hurricane Maria.
Funneling? And why should Democrats be responsible for the fact that the Pendejo of the U.S. hates part of the U.S.
WeChooseBoth18 Trump’s treatment of Puerto Rico is disgraceful.
Puerto Rico is a waste of money, they live in hurricane territory and weren't prepared. They squandered Gov money and had a an electrical grid in severe decrepitude and because of corruption weren't ready. Now after already getting more than anyone else they want more. BULLSH**.
Ten dollars to Home Depot for ten bundles of shingles and five Snickers bars,,,the rest is for a used Benz and new flatscreen.
Let them care for them selves!!!! They have to date. .gotten over 90 MILLION!!! They are a TOURIST MECCA!!! Maybe the mayor of San Juan, who SOLD our donated water. . .can SKIM less money. . . .and care about her country and its wonderful people!!!!
Well he's had enough the government over there were padding their pockets and not taken care of business
Trump with his racist and bigoted approach to Puerto Rico is an abomination, in the face of the tragic situation for the island people whom he has complete contempt for.
Would you describe disaster relief to any other part of the U.S. as “funneling money?”
Seems to me that it’s trump’s people who need to diffuse his hostility towards our fellow Americans, the citizens of Puerto Rico.
So Trump is hostile to his own country.
HOPE YOU KNOW THAT PUERTO RICO PAYS NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX. THE USA TAX PAYER HAS ALREADY GIVEN 90 BILLION FOR DISASTER RELIEF. THESE DEMOCRATS ACT LIKE A DRUNKEN HOOKER WITH A STOLEN CREDIT CARD. NEVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT
A simple majority in both houses makes PR a state, and it would then be eligible for MUCH more aid and control over its destiny

Federal judge to fast-track ruling on House subpoena for Trump accounting recordsThe hearing is set for Tuesday in a lawsuit over House Democrats’ request for years of the president’s financial statements. realDonaldTrump, you can run but you cant hide.. Tic Toc.....⏰ They should also investigate Biden’s ties to the KKK, after all he is running for the White House I do not want a President with ties to such organization of hatred. Apparently not interested in slow walking at least that case. Others may follow, thwarting DT's strategy.
