Circumventing Congress to divert money intended to help Americans who are exposed to HIV, influenza, tuberculosis, and other deadly diseases—and directing those funds to the Department of Defense—is beyond the pale.

Not only is freezing the money in this proposal illegal, but the administration has also clearly been unlawfully impounding funds all year just to get to this point.

This bill is a clear improvement over the House Republican continuing resolution.

Whether a community receives disaster relief should not depend on who they voted for in the last election.
