Even with Congress out of town for two weeks, the partisan disputes over billions of dollars in disaster relief have managed to devolve further.

Negotiators aren't even on the same page about what they're arguing over when it comes to emergency funding for Puerto Rico, the biggest sticking point, our Pro Budget colleagues point out.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Rick Scott went after each other over the Puerto Rico impasse in a multiday Twitter feud, POLITICO's Marianne LeVine reports.

— Scott accused the New York Democrat of "lying" about holding up the aid package, H.R. 268 (116) . Schumer fired back that the Florida Republican should "stop the bull" and "stand up to the president," noting that the GOP proposal omitted any aid for the island except for nutrition assistance.
