Wild that they continue to pretend like $100 million is a lot of money, when the President of the United States literally just created a slush fund that's worth like 20x that.
With the former going to feeding women and infants in need, and the latter going to violent jan 6 felons.
They're accidentally giving the game away. People are starting to put these numbers in perspective and realize every single "we can't afford that" claim has been utter horse shit
The Trump admin has also paid to date $338M of Americans' money to keep coal fired electricity generation plants running, some of which are broken down through the duration of the so-called "emergency". Yet the Republican-controlled Congress hasn't lifted a finger to stop Trump for an expense that's triple the amount here.
No, no, no, you misunderstand. Republicans want wealthy white women to be forced to have children. They want poor women, children, and men of all races to drop dead as soon as possible.
I think that the current Republicans in power would be okay with poor white women having babies. They just don't want the government to fund anything except (1) wars in countries with natural resources that they can exploit and (2) private corporations in which they own stakes.
"If you're pre-born, you're fine; if you're pre-schooled, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you are just fine. Just what they've been looking for.
Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."
@foggy@dan1101 and that's why they want to defund education, and if they can't do that pump it full of useless, repetitive crap - they want the population to lack critical thinking skills.
Five Republicans voted against the bill, while Democratic Representatives Donald Davis, Adam Gray, Vicente Gonzalez, and Marie Glusenkamp Perez voted for it, ensuring it passed the chamber.
As a Washington resident, that worthless curr has been disappointing me at every turn. Any chance there is to step across the aisle, she does it. She's our version of Fetterman.

Republicans: Cut funding for food assistance programs for poor pregnant women and children!
Also Republicans: Why aren't women having as many babies now?

Let's just make one big fat headline to list the very few things this government does NOT strip funding for.
Quokka@quokk.au · 21 pts · 79d
Israel.
A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip · 6 pts · 79d
I'd say the military-industrial complex plus big tech, both of which surely include Israel.

They probably thought they were voting to strip women, infants, and children. As in, make them all naked.

WIC sounds too close to woke, so it has to go.
