Joe Biden is urging lawmakers to refill the coffers of disaster relief programs as the projected recovery and rebuilding costs related to Hurricane Helene are estimated to be as much as $200bn over 10 years.

In a letter sent to congressional leaders, the president said while the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) and the Department of Defense is able to meet “critical life-saving and life-sustaining missions and will continue to do so within present funding levels”, they will need additional funding.

Biden said that a comprehensive disaster relief package would be necessary when Congress returns on 12 November – but said action on individual programs could be needed before then. But there are currently no plans for Congress to reconvene before the election.

It can't be both. They deny the package for the former and pass it for the latter.

In other words, it's not actually possible and you're just attacking Republicans over nothing rather than attacking them for the countless things they actually are capable of doing and have done in the past and plan to do in the future.

So I guess congratulations on that, I hope you find it very effective at whatever you're trying to accomplish.
