"Senate Sends $36.5 Billion Disaster Relief Bill To Trump's Desk" [1]

"The Senate easily cleared a disaster relief bill on Tuesday, sending the legislation to President Trump's desk.

Senators voted 82-17 on the House-passed measure, which includes help for the response to a string of wildfires and trio of hurricanes.

Each of the 17 "no" votes came from Republicans, including Sens. Bob Corker (Tenn.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Mike Lee (Utah), among others."
