I understand the sentiment, but foreign aid is a tiny percentage of the federal budget, and most of it goes to buy products made by Americans
Amy and a Cat@amyandacat.bsky.social · 6h ago1/4 I’m just a middle aged midwestern mom but I wish the democrats would listen to people like me. We’re not “going communist or socialist.” Most of us can’t define those terms. But we are pissed about the $$ we give to countries that enjoy way more benefits than we do.

WHY Progressives are taking their seats
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 7h agoThe fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban like…. The arch? Anything!
Trump Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins just called his SNAP cuts a "pretty big win". Throwing 5 million struggling Americans — including families with children — off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich isn't a "win". It's a national disgrace.
Mother Jones reporter Abby Vesoulis appeared on CNN last night to discuss her bombshell investigation about Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio). CNN's Jake Tapper also got into a heated exchange with the congressman over these recent allegations. You can read Abby's full story here: https://bit.ly/4waceIu

Uh with the CURRENT Border Patrol. ICE has only been around since 9/11
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoEl-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Jenifer Lewis said it best: 35.9 million people sat out 2024, and we don’t let that shit happen again. Not this time. Not with 90 days on the clock and everything on the line. Speak out, knock louder, make it impossible to ignore. It’s on all of us to flip it all blue. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
El-Sayed: "I believe our kids have a right to our tax dollars. I'm about 10 min away from schools that look like they did 50 years ago. Our money should be spent here rather than sent in the form of bombs or tanks to foreign govts, particularly when they are doing most heinous things with them ... "

More than half of Americans have cut out eating out just to afford necessities. That’s not belt tightening, that’s an entire country getting sucked dry while corrupt Republicans & their billionaires pretend everythings fine. We don’t fix it by staying quiet. #BlueWaveIn90Days
