It's also a redundant department. There is already the Government Accountability Office, which literally does the same job (but probably actually does it efficiently).

The American version of Christianity has decided that a fetus is a person, and as such that an abortion is murder. They make it this emotional issue so that people don't think too hard about it and just reflexively think "I can't support murder!"

This is despite the Bible pretty explicitly defining life as beginning at the first breath, and treating causing a miscarriage as property damage.

It's part and parcel of the Republican party essentially taking over the church and getting people to equate "Republican" with "Christian".

No, I also felt like Harris felt she wasn't allowed to veer too far from Biden since she was his VP, but had plans to change course more once she took over.

Unless they (somehow) get an amendment through, Musk is not eligible to be president. He wasn't born a citizen of the US.

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

"President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of abandoning Israel after the incumbent said he would not supply the country with weapons it could use to invade Rafah."

Trump wouldn't offer even the token pushback that Biden has, and would likely ramp up the payments and weapons supplied to Israel.

When he was president before, he already massively cut aid to Gaza, and would probably do so again.

That's how you go farther

Given that one side of the political spectrum has become staunchly against many aspects of reality, I disagree with your premise.

And Trump has said he wants it to go even farther.

It's not that they cut any in particular, they just only included the Bill of Rights, which isn't uncommon when pairing them with the Constitution. Not defending them, still a grift going on here, but that particular detail isn't as nefarious as some people want to think. At least, not on its own.

I believe this depends on the state/local laws.
