What a weasel.

Quote:

(CNN)Republican Sen. Rand Paul objected Wednesday to an attempt to pass the bill funding 9/11 first responders' health care unanimously, arguing that passing such a long-term bill without offsetting the cost would contribute to the national debt.

The delay presents another hurdle in the dramatic fight to secure funding for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's continued reassurances that the fund would be fully funded. After comedian and fund advocate Jon Stewart gave emotional testimony last month accusing lawmakers of failing to support the bill, the measure was swiftly approved for to a floor vote in the House and passed the lower chamber last week on an overwhelmingly bipartisan 402-12 vote.

He wants the costs covered and not a blank checkbook? WOW the nerve of that guy.. Some liberal nut job should tackle him off his lawnmower for this

Republicans didn't want to back this bill because they hate America.. They got shamed into it and now this is their way out.. You can bet your ass that Mitch McConnell has made a deal with Rand Paul to block the bill so he and others don't take the heat and Rand Paul has done this type of shit before so he's perfect guy to do it..

Rand Paul had no problems signing the tax cuts that have grown our deficit to 2 trillion dollars.. but he wont sign a bill for this.. Bullshit this is Republicans playing games with people's lives..

This is 100% a planned ploy

Her certainly didn't give a fuck about this kind of thing when he voted for the Trump tax cut that is causing the deficit to skyrocket.

First responders risk their lives and have your back. Tell me why they don't deserve your support?

What is more important? Taking care of the people who saved lives during 9/11 and letting other 1st responders know that the US appreciates their proven service? Or Trump's border wall?

The 200th firefighter just died from a World Trade Center-related illness

Quote:

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted images of FDNY firefighters Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan, saying, "200 members of the FDNY have now succumbed to WTC-related illness. They didn't hesitate to run into danger. They stayed until the work was done."

(CNN)New York City officials says that 200 firefighters have now lost their lives from illnesses stemming from their time working at the World Trade Center after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.

Richard Driscoll, who was the 200th firefighter to succumb to an illness related to the World Trade Center, served the New York City Fire Department for 32 years, and was cited for bravery five times during his career, according to FDNY.

He retired from Engine 91 in East Harlem in 2002.

In a tweet Thursday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio paid his respects to firefighters Richard Driscoll and Kevin Nolan. "They didn't hesitate to run into danger. They stayed until the work was done," he said.

Nolan, the 199th firefighter to die from 9/11-related conditions, served the department from 1989 to 2007, retiring with Engine Company 79 in the Bronx.
