The White House has asked Congress to claw back more than HALF A BILLION dollars of already appropriated funding for international disaster assistance and clean tech investments abroad.

The House will vote on the rescissions package next week; senators want amendments.

Looks like House leadership is gonna put the CR+disaster aid package AND a disaster aid pay-for bill through the Rules Committee 👀

Could be a way to earn support from conservatives who wouldn’t otherwise vote for the CR+disaster aid.

More than 40 congressional Democrats have signed on to a letter from Rep. Marcy Kaptur calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to reconvene Congress to vote on disaster aid.

Comes hours before Hurricane Milton is set to hit Florida.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower”

So true and relevant for GI Surgical training as well!
