They shouldn't have to beg... but a step in the right direction is still a step.
"The House Judiciary Committee unanimously passed a bill which would permanently reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Wednesday, the day after comedian Jon Stewart gave impassioned testimony in support of the bill in video that quickly went viral.
The bill will now go to the floor for a full vote in the House of Representatives, where it is likely to pass. It's unclear whether Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will take up the bill in the Senate, although Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said Wednesday that he was "imploring, pleading, even begging" McConnell to bring the bill to the floor as soon as it passes in the House."
I've been trying to see rwhat is atually in the bill but can't find anything.
I want to see if anyone tacked other things to the bill to not make it pass i the house.
Here’s the history with links. I believe today’s vote was to reauthorize it and fund it. It’s already “in effect” until 2090. And talk about hypocrisy and adding riders? Both sides are not the same.
The act was reauthorized in 2015 for 90 years. But a portion of the law — the Victim Compensation Fund — was only funded for five years, through the end of 2020. The fund aimed to provide necessary financial support for the thousands who suffered serious medical issues, including a spate of cancer diagnoses, after the 2001 attacks.
Yes, that is what I want to see if people tack things on.

I saw this today. He was dying and he made his way to Washington to plead for a freaking bill and he was going for chemo the next day and he has now sadly passed away because he did what most people would not. Stand on a pile of who knows what and see human remains and carefully make sure they were honored, no matter if it was a body or a hand. He saw things people never see. And he died without the Senate voting on the bill. Mitch is an asshole.
Rest in Peace, you have done more for this world than most and you are a Hero.

I saw that too, and it broke my heart. Jon Stewart spoke for a lot of us who wonder where is (now, was) the help for this man 18 years after 9/11, when he was there to save lives within seconds, I believe he said.
I hope those similar to Mr. Alvarez are helped in the ways he was shamefully denied.

A Responder to his last breath......

Where’s the far left fake press person ambushing him in the halls of Congress or on his front lawn requesting that he defend these two very different votes? Oh wait, both sides aren’t the same. Funny that.

Mike Lee and Rand Paul, "bottom feeders". Exactly.

And where exactly was Team Trump Treason’s “leadership” on this issue? You know, calling the repubs into the WH to express his desire to see this bill passed as he’s a lifetime native New Yorker and those heroes suffered tremendously and we’ll cut something somewhere to pay for it, let’s do the right thing and if you don’t, I’ll EO your asses so it affects Kentucky and Utah and I’ll primary your asses as well. “Leadership?” Oh right, he just likes to pretend that he drives fire trucks and really, he doesn’t give a rats ass. Somebody please post that fire truck pic.
what do you think Ryme, heroes of 911 can eat dust? Still proud and glad Team Trump Treason is POTUS, economy and all?
No moral compass. No compassion. No spine. But ask both those pasty white child raper supporters how dying in a coal mine makes them admire fiscal responsibility and bubbling bubble big breasted cray cray, cuz, you know, Sweden held political prisoners demand freedom because wow are you hot.

Whoa, slow down there my man, I'm not sure I caught all that...

I thought the exact same thing. Forget about "leadership" because it'd be disingenuous and fake. But just politically, how stupid could he be NOT to jump on this? It's an issue that anybody can get behind regardless of party affiliation. He has the NYC background like you mentioned, it'd be consistent with the farce that he's patriotic and loves the military (I kinda lump the 9/11 respondents in with the military), and it could distract from all of his usual bullshit. At worst he'd have to throw Paul and Lee under the bus, but who cares?
But no instead he's focusing on getting some rapper out of Sweden or something. He starting to make a lot of mistakes politically (I know, I know, he makes dozens of mistakes daily in other areas). But as far as electioneering goes, what would grab him more votes? Putting up a fuss over the 9/11 bill not passing, or helping a rapper accused of assault? Senility might be setting in quick with him..

Introduced in House (10/12/2018)
Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act
This bill funds through FY2090 the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001.
Additionally, the bill modifies the Victim Compensation Fund (VCF):
- to allow claims to be filed until October 2089,
- to require VCF policies and procedures to be reassessed at least once every five years (currently, at least once annually),
- to require claimants to be paid for the amount by which a claim was reduced on the basis of insufficient funding,
- to remove the cap on noneconomic damages in special circumstances, and
- to adjust the annual limit on economic loss compensation for inflation.
