Demings expresses determination to continue fighting for voting rights despite Republican obstruction and advocates for eliminating the filibuster.

You also pointed out a decade ago we had roughly 108 disasters. Now we are looking at 348 roughly.
We ought to be asking ourselves, okay, what's next? If you think it stops here--well, there has already been an indication that it does not stop here.
I am pleased, though, to see that the proposed budget request includes $360 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
We must do more around prevention, but when disaster strikes, we must help communities recover as quickly as possible.
