Speaking of FEMA, I gotta post this for FL DU voters, so they can to remind FL MAGAts why we need to replace Rick Scott in November with democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

Oct 3, Fla. Democratic Party website--"Today, Rick Scott is touring damage from Hurricane Helene but last week, as Congress passed a government funding bill without critically needed supplemental disaster relief funding, Scott was nowhere to be found. Instead of doing his job and fighting for disaster funds he knew Florida would need, Scott skipped town and didn’t vote to replenish FEMA’s disaster fund and keep the government open. Thanks to Scott’s inaction, FEMA won’t have enough resources to make it through the rest of hurricane season.

"Scott’s hurricane hypocrisy is nothing new: he has repeatedly voted against disaster relief funding and opposed renewing the National Flood Insurance Program that protects 1.7 million Florida homes. Scott also voted against $1.5 billion in federal funding to make Florida’s infrastructure more resilient to climate change and extreme weather."
