“Our 9/11 first responders deserve certainty, and it’s about time Congress gave it to them,” said Johnson. “I was proud to cosponsor the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund in the House, and now that it has passed the Senate, I look forward to seeing it swiftly signed into law by the president. Once implemented, this bill will help provide care to those 9/11 heroes for decades to come.”

    1. Rand Paul is the idiot who claims he can’t vote for the 9/11 bill because it isn’t funded, except he’ll vote for a budget that shows a massive deficit. He’s the definition of a hypocrite.
