   Get off your ass and pick up a shovel you cunt.   
      
   A Democratic Iowa congresswoman urged President Trump on Monday   
   to expand federal disaster assistance to individuals and   
   families in her state impacted by recent storms after Trump   
   claimed to have approved a "full" relief request from the   
   state's governor.   
      
   In a statement, Rep. Abby Finkenauer said that she was "deeply   
   disappointed" that Trump had tweeted a message claiming that he   
   had approved the request from Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) while   
   assistance for families and individuals remains under review.   
      
   "While I am appreciative of the President’s quick action in   
   approving Public Assistance for Iowa communities to cleanup and   
   rebuild, I’m deeply disappointed he has not granted the State of   
   Iowa’s full request for Individual Assistance, including   
   assistance to individuals and homeowners, in response to the   
   derecho storm that devastated Cedar Rapids and communities   
   across eastern Iowa," said Finkenauer. "We must ensure no Iowan   
   is left behind by this tragedy. I ask the president to rectify   
   his omission immediately."   
      
   "I will continue fighting for a fast and comprehensive review of   
   the impacts of this storm on Iowa families and businesses — and   
   all necessary and appropriate federal relief for families as   
   well as local governments," she added.   
      
   Her statement came in response to the president's tweet Monday   
   afternoon.   
      
   Just approved (and fast) the FULL Emergency Declaration for the   
   Great State of Iowa. They got hit hard by record setting winds.   
   Thank you to @SenJoniErnst, @ChuckGrassley, and Governor Kim   
   Reynolds.

   The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.   
      
   Iowa was battered last week by a storm with winds that reached   
   100 mph in some areas, killing three people and causing damage   
   to homes and businesses.   
      
   Reynolds requested $4 billion in disaster relief funding from   
   the federal government in response, calling for a "strong and   
   timely federal response to support recovery efforts."
