Why does Israel get "all the aid that Israel needs" to keep murdering children when I can't even get healthcare as an American? Why are your loyalties to Israel instead of Americans?

Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...)
That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse.
His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

How much is $79.52 billion?
1. The Washington, D.C. area Metro subway has 128 miles of track. At a reasonable estimate of $625m/ mile, you could build it all over again.
2. The Biden admin estimated that universal childcare would cost $22.5b/ year—so, 3 1/2 years of childcare for working parents.

The House Judiciary's mammoth spending bill for "mass deportation" is now public and will be marked up in committee on Wednesday.
Here are all items I see that are $100 million or more. They add up to a staggering $79.52 billion.

FOR PRAYING???!! Arrested a pastor???
So it’s okay for MAGA to violently attack the Capitol on Jan 6 & receive presidential pardons from FOTUS 45/47 for doing so; however, peacefully protesting to protect the poor & destitute from losing their healthcare isn’t okay.
Got it.
Got it.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.
