No final decision made/things are in flux
Experts question how WH can legally pay UI benefits w/o Congress@ericawerner @karoun https://t.co/q341avJbu4
But isn't that for... yep...
Believed to be tens of billions in hurricane relief money that has not been spent. Unclear if $ for Puerto Rico would be in the mix. White House has asked federal agencies to come up with lists of $ that could potentially be moved around for the executive orders

Couldn't have picked a better time too.
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center said there could be up to 25 storms which have sustained winds of 39mph or greater. Storms which hit this threshold are named by the agency.It's going great, guys
In a normal year, there are usually two storms before August which are named.
This year, there have already been nine named storms, a record which makes 2020’s hurricane season one of the busiest on record in the US.
