I appreciate President Biden coming down to view the incredible impacts of Hurricane Ida on our state. The quick request for hurricane recovery funding from the White House is indicative of the extraordinary destruction caused by this powerful storm. (2/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi Politicizes Hurricane Recovery Aid We opposed the bill with the poison pill, our amendments being blocked from consideration and the projected $45 trillion debt increase. (1/6) https://t.co/fewZ5x0WZy — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We introduced amendments that would have redirected funding from wishlist items to real priorities. Click here to read about our DRF amendment and more: https://t.co/GOggGyDT3Y — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of allocating $10 billion to the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) to help folks recover from disasters, we're going to put it toward transit on top of the $69 billion we allocated earlier this year. Louisiana, and many Americans, have real, unmet needs. https://t.co/6pRsBj9w7h — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We also asked President Biden to include the determination in the long-awaited emergency supplemental recovery funding request, or it would be a critical missed opportunity to help Louisiana's recovery (3/3): https://t.co/8MWiVbSAlx — PolitiTweet.org

This includes starting with a “Fishery Disaster Determination” to provide the resources necessary to put us on a path to recovery. Our letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce on September 7, 2021 (2/3): https://t.co/1mWNQArwx7 — PolitiTweet.org

We need to help our fishing communities across south Louisiana as quickly as possible. Whether the product is shrimp, crawfish, redfish, oysters, crawfish, crab, or charter fishing – no fishery or fisher has been spared from the devastation of Ida. (1/3) https://t.co/JMEVCdWOnr — PolitiTweet.org

We will keep working to address the ongoing crisis at the border. https://t.co/7yQivz48wq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

We have a crisis at the southern border and preventing the media from covering it doesnt make it go away. We appreciate the FAA working with @FoxNews on this but there is no reason to politicize. https://t.co/KM6RpZVV6c — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

ICYMI, House T&I considered the $3.5 trillion spending package. Instead of providing $100 mil. to reimburse sheriffs, police departments or other first responders for urgent disaster housing needs, we would fund a $200 mil. luxury golf course & country club for Speaker Pelosi. https://t.co/P1Kp1TBIdT — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI, House T&I considered the $3.5 trillion spending package.

ICYMI, House T&I considered the $3.5 trillion spending package. Instead of redirecting $200 million to cover remaining Duplication of Benefits victims from 2016 Flood, we would fund a $200 million luxury golf course and country club for Speaker Pelosi. https://t.co/jDhdfh4dtV https://t.co/BqlG00IxmR — PolitiTweet.org

A delay in implementing Risk Rating 2.0 is needed to allow Congress time to work on a comprehensive long-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program. (4/4) https://t.co/5L8lGZHDvj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Massive rate changes should be subject to additional scrutiny and review by Members of Congress in a long-term reauthorization, not arbitrary FEMA deadlines. (3/4) https://t.co/5L8lGZHDvj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

The new insurance premium calculation methodology, Risk Rating 2.0, is slated to begin on October 1, 2021 (new home purchases), with a second phase going into effect in April of next year (existing homes/policies). (2/4) https://t.co/5L8lGZHDvj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Joining @BillPascrell and dozens of members of Congress in a bipartisan effort to block efforts by FEMA to implement substantial flood insurance rate hikes for millions of Americans. We're asking for a moratorium on the implementation of the flawed, flood rate hikes. (1/4) https://t.co/G5wXvXNV8A — PolitiTweet.org

We introduced amendments that would have redirected funding from wishlist items to real priorities. The bill provided no funds for families, communities, or businesses impacted by recent storms like Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta and Ida. https://t.co/GOggGyDT3Y — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI, House T&I considered the $3.5 trillion spending package. Included is funding for a $200 million luxury golf course & country club for Speaker Pelosi, butterfly conservation, & desert fish conversation – but $0 for Hurricane Ida recovery. We have real, unmet needs. (1/2) https://t.co/b7jzE1E65P — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Garret Graves @RepGarretGraves

Our amendment, #68, would add $10 billion to the Disaster Relief Fund. It would help Americans recover - whether from hurricanes, floods, or forest fires. Let's focus on real needs, instead of $200 million on a luxury resort. https://t.co/2RPr0d5UWo https://t.co/Jual4cT1Zw — PolitiTweet.org
