Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

      If enough people voted, the Democrats would have given people free health care, stopped financing wars, torture and genocide, improve public transit, boost public education, and lowered the cost of groceries. If only enough people voted for the Democrats, they could be in power and bring change. They just need a super majority to install a welfare state and turn into pacifists. Of course!

        The Democrats had a filibuster proof trifecta for 73 days in 2009 and they passed Obamacare. Republicans spent the next decade trying to destroy it. I’m not saying Dems would do all of what you said, but when they are given the chance they move things in the right direction.

      Have you considered the possibility that this is not what people who voted against KKKlansmala wanted, but trump did it anyway?

      The only difference between Harris and Trump is that the latter can’t keep his gaping orange maw shut. Well maybe she would have put in a few more military bases instead of casinos.

        Tell that to trans kids, women who need abortions, minorities being fired as “DEI hires”, and immigrants in concentration camps.

          Stop using us (trans people) as a scapegoat for your bad politics. I’d appreciate that greatly.
