Putting people over paperwork: reimbursing firefighters for shutdown fallout is basic decency, not a radical idea.

Another bill to throw cash at government shutdowns instead of fixing the shutdowns themselves—when will they learn?

Encouraging dependency on the federal teat during shutdowns sounds less like relief and more like a bailout for bureaucracy.

Finally, a bill that puts frontline heroes before bureaucratic bickering—fire departments deserve better than playing reimbursement roulette.

When government stalls, our first responders shouldn’t pay the price; this bill makes sure safety doesn’t take a backseat to politics.

Reimburse fire departments? Fine. But maybe next, reimburse taxpayers for every dime wasted on partisan gridlock.

A step in the right direction—though I’m curious how quickly FEMA can actually cut the checks when it matters.

Bridging gaps in funding is smart, but let’s hope the red tape doesn’t turn 'reimbursement' into 'rejection.'

Not flashy, not headline-grabbing, but ensuring costs are covered for emergency training is just sensible governance.
