    Just like charities, houses of worship, of any faith, that serve people & are impacted by natural disasters should not be disqualified from assistance simply because they're religious. I'm pleased that #FEMA will now make houses of worship eligible for aidhttps://www.reuters.com/article/us-storm-harvey-churches-fema/fema-allows-churches-to-apply-retroactively-for-disaster-aid-idUSKBN1ES00L?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter …

        James, agree but why no taxes? Most of small town minsters pay no tax on salaries. If Foundations under new law, why no churches.

        Why not tax the churches who pile up money or pay out in salaries and services? Just those churches.....many do help and do good for all society. This needs to be done.

        Like most adolescent fixations he must have the biggest, best, most powerful, basest, or fastest thing than anyone else. His reality is warped and dangerously fixated.

        @SenatorLankford are you aware that in Tulsa there is a homeless shelter that will not feed the homeless unless they attend their church services? This is why it is different. You may not care but but if it was a Muslim faith requiring attendance I bet you would lose your shit

        What would your tweet be if the president had a D by his name and had just sent an unhinged tweet threatening nuclear war? Seriously Senator, you have the power to do something and you do less than nothing.

        Maybe you should recognize climate change as being impacted by humans and we can start putting funding into handling the problems that cause these crisis.

        I disagree, but since your party has approved it, they must also submit to oversight, like charities, to see that they are not discriminatory in the way they "serve" the taxpayers of their community. No more reserving aid just for those they idealogicaly approve of.

        Places of worship in America do not pay taxes. What makes a church more worthy than a place like Puerto Rico? And if they're both worthy in your eyes, why not the rest of the world and all its population? #FEMAforAll is not something I care to see trend!

        James, please call President Trump and tell him to shut the fuck up. He's gone completely insane and Americans are more than a bit worried. This needs to stop or Congress needs to move to impeach.

        How about Puerto Ricans who are still in the dark? Are they eligible for aid? Or just paper towels?

        So long as those house of worship include mosques, synagogues and temples and none of them are allowed to refuse assistance for anyone based on religion
