Getting our affected Gulf Coast states the aid they need to help victims and rebuild communities continues to be our highest priority. Today's passage is the second aid package in recent days, and it illustrates one thing: this Congress is serious about doing everything we can to help local, state and federal officials respond to this crisis.

Had the people most affected by this been rich and white, I think the outcome would have been much different.

There is a strong possibility that a lot of people won't have power restored until Monday.
