I think it's fucking OUTRAGEOUS that Republicans are trying to play political games with the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene.

ESPECIALLY since so many of them voted AGAINST supplemental FEMA relief before Helene hit.

Here's a full list of who voted against supplemental funding for FEMA:

North Carolina:
Representative Dan Bishop
Senator Ted Budd

South Carolina:
Representative Jeff Duncan
Representative Russell Fry
Representative Nancy Mace
Representative Ralph Norman
Representative William R. Timmons IV
Senator Tim Scott

Georgia:
Representative Richard McCormick
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
Representative Mike Collins
Representative Andrew S. Clyde

Florida:
Representative Daniel Webster
Representative Michael Waltz
Representative Bill Posey
Representative Cory Mills
Representative Anna Paulina Luna
Representative Laurel M. Lee
Representative Matt Gaetz
Representative Bryon Donalds
Representative Kat Cammack
Representative Gus M. Bilirakis
Representative Aaron Bean
Senator Rick Scott REFUSED TO VOTE

Tennessee:
Representative Tim Burchett
Representative Andrew Ogles
Representative John W. Rose
Senator Marsha Blackburn
Senator Bill Hagerty

NOT ONE DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER VOTED NAY.

🚨PASS IT ON.🚨

NC's Millersville Christian Academy got $863,953 in public voucher funds this year.

MCA bars admission to LGBTQ+ students, and if a student is even discovered to have an LGBTQ+ family member they'll be expelled.

Public dollars shouldn't subsidize discrimination.

New report: "More than half of the increase in segregation in the 2000s can be attributed to the rise of charter schools... either white or Black families flocked to different charter schools, leaving behind a less diverse student body" #CharterSchoolFail https://t.co/r2gR2fnExo

[Justin Parmenter @JustinParmenter]

Also important to know that if a child's parent objects to the beating and the student is expelled and sent back to their public school, Flaming Sword keeps the state's public voucher dollars anyway.

School vouchers are a money-making racket.

Most parents are pretty satisfied with their kids' K-12 educational quality, and have been for more than two decades.

Negative sentiment towards schools is driven almost entirely by Republican partisans without direct exposure to schools, per @Gallup:

Rep. Higgins (R-LA): “[The Ranking member] said, ‘The founders never anticipated this volume of illegals.’”

Rep. Raskin (D-MD): “There was no immigration law when the Constitution was adopted at all. In fact, the only illegals in the country, at least according to the Native [American] population, were the people writing the Constitution.”

“When I talk to people on why this election cycle is so important it’s because I feel the urgency of the now for representing young people like me who are coming up and have their rights stripped from them right now.” #ncpol https://t.co/Rd0QZxQVqg

[Jeff Bryant @jeffbcdm]

How to play the school privatization game:
1) Create a voucher program that limits eligibility to mostly low-income Black and brown families who "deserve choice"
2) Expand the program to white wealthy folks because they "deserve education freedom"

Arkansas banned paying for AP African history tests—but pays for AP European history

Florida teaches AP European history—but is banning AP African American History

25 states have already banned DEI—firing academics working in this space

White supremacy thriving in 2024 America

Dan Rather is rather damn good.

North Carolina’s teachers are leaving in droves. What a newly released report finds. New DPI reports shows teacher turnover jumped 47% over the prior year. 1 in 9 teachers left the profession between March 2022 & March 2023. #nced #ncpol https://t.co/RzoU8RdHib

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

NC teachers are leaving because they are underpaid and underappreciated. Instead of paying them like professionals, GOP legislators are focused on their private school voucher scheme. It’s time to reevaluate priorities and fully fund our public schools.

Liberty Christian School in Durham, NC got almost a million $ in voucher funding this year.

Liberty's primary educational objective is "to bring each student to a saving knowledge and relationship with Jesus Christ."

They should not be getting taxpayer funding.

[Justin Parmenter @JustinParmenter]

Liberty Christian School in Durham, NC got nearly $1m in public voucher funding this year.

This school reserves the right to expel students who listen to "inappropriate" music at home. 

The public should not be funding institutions with these control issues. #ncpol #nced

[Anderson Clayton☀️ @abreezeclayton]

Public dollars deserve to go to public schools, Michele. Someone who wants to run our *public* schools should know that and advocate for it. YOU don’t believe in public schools. Or do you not stand by what you said about dismantling the department of education? #ncpol

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

My Republican colleagues passed a bill recognizing “Christian Heritage Month.”

But when folks were thirsty, they banned giving them water in voting lines.

When folks were hungry, they cut their food benefits.

When folks were a stranger, they built a wall and put up razor wire.

[UNC Humor @UNC_Humor]

Yeah, I’ll lose followers & looking forward to the hundreds of “stick to sports” tweets but just need to say this loudly:

This man is a clown. This, wildly, isn’t even in the top ten craziest things he’s said. @RoyCooperNC has been great for the state and @JoshStein_ will be too

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

When I hear that North Carolina nominated a MAGA extremist like Mark Robinson, a holocaust denier who longs for the days when women couldn't vote, I have to ask the question:

AMERICA, HAVE WE LOST OUR FUCKING MINDS???
