‘Shut it down’

Some #FloridaRepublicans also support demands from the #FarRight #HouseFreedomCaucus to attach other #conservative priorities to a short-term #funding bill to keep the #government running past Sept. 30.

In addition to “no blank check for #Ukraine,” the #FreedomCaucus is demanding more funding for #BorderSecurity, #cuts to the #DOJ & the #FBI, & an end to “#woke” policies at the #DOD.

in interviews yesterday, #FloridaRepublicans doubled down:

“I’m typically supportive of disaster relief, but I’m not going to vote for #DisasterAid if it’s linked to funding for #Ukraine — I can tell you that.” - #MattGaetz
#CarlosGiménez said the disaster aid & Ukraine funding “should be 2 separate votes."
#ByronDonalds said he was focused on “making sure that the American people are getting the recovery aid that they need before [Ukraine] is getting anything."
