With the Federal Emergency Management Agency reeling from major staffing and funding shortages amid the impact of Hurricane Helene, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) refused on Sunday to commit to reconvening the House before Election Day to aid recovery efforts. In response to a letter from President Biden urging congressional leaders back to replenish federal disaster loan funding, Johnson said during a Fox News Sunday interview that he’d only do so after the election—all but ensuring the funds will run out.

    Moral high ground. “They go low, we go high”.

    The biggest issue with liberals are them taking their opponents in good faith, while their opponents exploit this fact.

    Except on the republican side it goes like “We go low, you go high”, and the republicans are not the only ones using it. In fact, the nazis used it to get into power, and so is Putin, Orbán, etc.
