The Trump administration will fire 2,000 United States Agency for International Development employees and place thousands more on leave Sunday after a judge ruled President Donald Trump has the authority to make cuts at the agency.

    Funding a genocide was more important to the dems then their base, that’s what costed the election.

    “From The River To The Sea” “Genocide Joe”

    That is some subtle manipulation, as if calling out Joe Biden on his support of genocide is the same as calling for the destruction of Israel. Most sane people are against both Israel’s current genocide and any plans to destroy Israel. Israel isn’t under threat from anything, they are the agressor. We just want them to stop killing children ffs.

    Literal zionist propaganda that has nothing to do with the article itself.

      And ideological purity was more important to a bunch of idiots than preventing a fascist who wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza from taking over the US government.

        Are we really going to blame voters conflicted about genocide and not the party that chose to make it the main point of their platform?

        They are the “good guys”. I voted for them but I shouldn’t feel ashamed doing so. I expect more from them then Trump lite. They should be held accountable for the shit show they caused.

          And we have to be downvoted by these people who are <checks notes> advocating for these politicians that continue to fail to lead.

          And for anyone who wonders: I fucking voted for the lesser evil. Fuck off with your holier-than-thou bullshit attitude that does nothing to attract exactly the voters we want: people with conscience.
