Yes, the Trump-Vance administration just told Germany it should make nice with a far-right political party with a history of using Nazi rhetoric and accepting racists and antisemites. And no Republican will complain. This is neo-fascism.

1/ ❗Really chilling.
Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.
-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
