America’s $916 Billion Question: If Not for Ukraine, What’s Our Military For?
Congress delayed a critical $45 billion Ukraine aid package for nearly six months in 2023, during which Ukrainian forces lost ground due to ammunition shortages. Meanwhile, we approved $2.9 billion for naval vessels the Pentagon admits are unsuitable for combat. Our priorities reveal our principles.
Read MoreVoter Suppression: Now With More Technology!
Voter suppression’s ditched the poll tax for a scalpel—gerrymandering twists districts into serpents, digital lies flood your feed, and the Voting Rights Act’s a gutted relic since Shelby (2013). It’s not random; it targets minorities, youth, the poor. History’s remix is slicker, but the game’s the same.
