"I’d like Egypt to take people. You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”

Bravo, Jill Stein voters. 🤦‍♀️

I seriously don’t know how I will get through the next 4 years. Sigh.

Ramaswamy / “DOGE” wants to defund Veteran’s Health Care to the tune of $120B.

Also on the chopping block:
• Higher education (not just k-12)
• AIDS, Malaria, and TB prevention
• Domestic Violence prevention
