Biden denied Dissaster Declaration in 68 others that requested Aid. (.. and After 5 days) there is that.

guess people in texas never heard of walmart costco wa wa need joe to buy their f====g water

Only a tad bit late on that one.

maybe put on big boy pants weatherize your ...... people have food/water / survival skills

Only a week later.

Pres Bush took 8 hours to declare hurricane Katrina a disaster, and the media labled him a racist. Biden is 3 days late to the party and LameStreamMedia gives him 'attaboys'. DoubleStandards Political bias

No mention of Ted state or Blue- just meeting needs of Americans

On January 26, 2021, the Texas Independence Referendum Act (HB 1359), a bill to provide for a nonbinding statewide referendum on secession, was filed by Texas House member Kyle Biedermann.

I sure hope you help citizens and not the fucking greedy ass energy companies

Why are government funds being used for Texas? Didn't they annex themselves to their own country.

Enjoy your socialist funding Texans!

61F and sunny in Austin today. That horse is back in the barn.

Clearly the first steps to surviving a pandemic and a natural disaster are to not vote for Republicans.

But they will of course refuse, they don't want a nanny federal state giving handouts, they want to die and suffer in the name of God knows what!

You mean he’s not going down to Texas with a truckload of paper towels

Texas is a RED State. They take pride in their independence. So, let them figure things out by themselves. Giving them a hand teaches them nothing.

summerbrennan Keep on supporting and giving money to the TX, LA, OK mutual aid groups who have been out helping people since this began unfolding a whole ass week ago.

It took Biden, AOC and Beto to save Texas. Cause the knuckle heads Texans vote into office are ineffective.

Didn't he send AOC in her electric powered jet to help out and hold a news conference?

Decency has returned

I thought conservative TX politicians didn’t like socialism? Taking “handouts” from the big, nasty Federal government. You hypocrites will do anything to save yourselves. You’ll let the Feds come in & clean up your mess so you can take a break from all your hard work in sunny MX!

Texas power fiasco occurred because state purposely stayed out of interstate power grid to avoid Federal regulation. Yet Feds will rightfully provide aid to those in need because they weren't the ones making the decision or flying to Cancun.

But, but, they didn't vote for him...wth 🙄

I remembered when California had wild forest fires and Newsom had to grovel to Trump

Wait, I thought the president was only supposed to help the states led by governors of his same party and kissed his ass? This is odd.

Pretty great having a President not holding a state hostage because they didn’t support him

Cheez Whiz! Texas pols have been dropping this ball for 10 years. That's criminal---people have frozen to death in 2021! How freaking incompetent.

Wait. Texas is a red state. Shouldn’t they be punished for their lack of undying support to the POTUS? Man I’m glad the trump years have passed.

Wow. He acted with the speed of an elderly man in mental decline.

But Texas didn't even vote for Biden... He didn't demand supplication?

Let's hope he declares the whole country a disaster zone next. We're all suffering from a ill GOP strategy of destroying America for private gains.

Sleepy Joe is on it...seven days later

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesMy wife is a special education teacher. She gets her second vaccine at 9:15 tomorrow. I'm thrilled. Me? I'm 168 millionth in line. I'm good. Wearing a mask, doing the social distance. A strong push with sufficient supply could give a first dose to everyone who wants it in WY and be completely done there. Then move onto other low population states. Any state smaller than WV, should just be surged for a week or so with transportation by military. Unless you live in NYC it’s unlikely you’ll see any vaccine in NYS. I’m in 1b as a healthcare worker and can’t find anything

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesChuck need to get these folks in line. I am okay with this... IF they got those “moderate” Democrats to agree to vote to eliminate the filibuster until 2022. This was DEMS that made the restrictions. Notice nobody coming forward to take credit for it. If you want to force this change, you should own the decision and explain it! I support it, but don’t like the silence on it. Own your decisions & explain them.
