WASHINGTON - The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday failed to pass a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill supported by President Donald Trump, but is expected to try again early next month.
But since the House did not go through regular, more time-consuming procedures, it needed the consent of all of its current 432 members to approve the bill. Representative Chip Roy, a first-term Republican, objected to holding the vote, citing concerns that the legislation did not include $4.5 billion Trump had requested to deal with a surge of Central American immigrants on the southwestern border.
chiproytx blocked it! Shame
Maybe is better that way, the skeptics that suffered these disasters will realize by their own experience that global warming is real and is dangerous.
Needs to pass before next big storm come calling and fires sweep the mountains.
I hope chiproytx constituents are paying attention. Trump sycophant.
Next month These are our friends, family, and neighbors...they need help now, not next month...politics be damned...get the job done.
Tell the truth, Reuters. One Republican blocked disaster aid.
Chip Roy is a steaming pile of Con.
Just a reminder to all Americans and especially the ones in TX21, RepChipRoy single handedly stopped the disaster aid bill to fellow Americans injured and suffering from natural disasters. It's time to vote out these useless members that hurt America. votehimout Chip Roy!
I think you mean chiproytx blocks disaster aid
Blocked by a lone trmpzi
You mean, a RepubliKKan sabotaged the vote. People who need disaster aide from your country -- this is what the GOP thinks of you. They want you dead. The cruelty is the point.
Maybe cancel recess instead of waiting until next month?
House didn't fail - GOP did.

Member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, joins Ari Melber to discuss why she has unveiled a new resolution that would authorize the Judiciary Committee to “investigate whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives” to exercise impeachment power.
