WASHINGTON (CBS SF & AP) The White House Friday sent Congress a $44 billion disaster aid request and it immediately came under attack from Californias two U.S. senators because it does not contain any relief for victims of the wine country wildfires.
In a joint statement, Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris called the bill appalling.
Its appalling the White House is choosing to ignore the victims of Californias wildfires, the senators said. The latest disaster supplemental request is a completely inadequate response to all of the recent natural disasters, but its particularly egregious that no money was included to help Californians rebuild.

I read that 80% of real estate in Houston is either poorly or not at all insured. Are we going to make them whole? Why buy insurance,?
Its a mess. Virgin Islands are an ongoing, yet neglected disaster.

and the Blue State escentially cheated of Medicaid funds in the Trumpcare bill.
I've never in my long lifetime seen an Administration or a Party in Power so nakedly, unabashedly hateful and divisive...economically punishing Democratic states ,especially California, over Republican states in their Healthcare bill, Tax bill and even in Disaster relief. This is just really ugly.
