“The document states that the contingency fund is reserved for such things as helping individuals in disaster areas. It cited Tropical Storm Melissa, which could become a major hurricane in the coming days, as an example of why it’s important to have funds available to mobilize quickly in the event of a disaster. The document was obtained by The Associated Press and was first reported by Axios.”

Gov shutdown isn’t enough I guess.

It just reads like an excuse.

Trump isn't supposed to be able to deploy the national guard the way he did, he wasn't allowed to move funds for the wall, he shouldn't be able to decimate the Dept of Education, they shouldn't be able to deport people without a trial.

The Trump admin can almost do anything it wants, so they could use the funds, they've chosen not to.
