making exceptions to allow humanitarian food programs and military aid to Israel and Egypt to continue.
Because fuck everyone except those perpetrating a genocide, I guess. How lovely.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Man all those people who chose to not vote bc they didn't want to be supporting a genocide...sure showed us...
That'll teach you for being pragmatic vs basically bragging that you have accelerated their death. History books will praise those who abstained from voting, I'm sure...
Tbh those people didn't swing the election.
Its those "I voted Joe last time and egg prices didn't go down" attitude 🙄
If they were too insignificant to listen to, they're too insignificant to blame.
Having once worked for a US foreign aid contractor and seen the budgets for these projects, I can tell you that most of the money goes to American companies supporting American jobs. The aid is mostly in the form of technical expertise in certain subject areas. Some material aid is distributed, but it’s a pittance compared to the billions that stay right in the US or that go to Americans working overseas. Also, these projects grease the wheels of influence in these countries. It’s a carrot to play nice with the US.
Halting foreign aid as if it is some suspect thing just kind of shows these goons don’t know how it works.

I doubt Putin would want US hegemony to take a hit! /s just in case.
Yeah. Those good for nothing Dems would've just kept funding the war in Gaza. Glad they're stopping this bullshit.
Wait...
That'll fix the conditions causing people to flee to the US for a better life!
Dear imperial media, you can mention the zionist regime in headlines. Be brave for once.
This is why I was just morbidly laughing to myself these last few months when Biden et al were beating their chests about “protecting stuff from Trump” like holy shit guys, you realize he’s just going to ignore the guardrails and go through them, right? They are burning the rulebook right now. We are watching them do it. What the fuck did those idiots think was gonna happen?
They work for the same rich masters
