That might be the actual picture Trump uses to convince MAGAs of the need to save starving billionaires.

I appreciate your focus on this issue, but I’m hoping that you’re working vigilantly to protect and defend this democracy and our constitution because if we lose that, everything else good about the US is basically just moot.

But will he or is this another lie?

misstdog.bsky.social•8 days ago

He meant save white lives, because Rubio doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians or other starving people of color.

Rubio is lying. The funds and contracts are gone. They plan to use this as leverage when the regime wants it. They do not believe in bipartisan action. Only the wishes of the leader matters. No morals. It’s a cull.

We support you, sir 100% but secretary Rubio is the devil‘s problem now don’t expect any assistance or any kind of morality. He is scum.

Also this is a win for US farmers considering its their products that are bought for US aid overseas. Unfortunately Republicans simply dont care about anyone but their rich corporate donors and the 1% which is made extremely evident with this BBB that robs the poor to give to the rich

He wont work with you. The way he answered was evasive. “I hope to”…. And, I dont know what the “humanitarian fund” he’s talking is but I be t this is the last we hear of it. They were happy to kill people/children and let life saving food rot. They dont give a sh*t. Those people arent white.

Powerful, heartbreaking image. I appreciate your hard pushback on this issue, and I think your status as a doctor gives you a unique moral authority here

Dr. Bera, Rubio says he’s committed to providing food aid to those who depend on it around the world. If so, then why are there 60,000 metric tons of food ($98M) sitting unused in foreign countries because of the Trump administration’s sudden cut in funding to USAID earlier this year?

This alone should warrant crimes against humanity and put trump and Rubio at the top of the arrest list!! SHAME ON THEM!! 🤬

What do you mean no other nation can do it? What about the EU? China?

lynbeenj.bsky.social•8 days ago

But we’re not a “faith-based” nation. These alleged “faith-based” people are hypocrites. They talk about faith, but don’t practice it. They want to be seen as a person of faith but actions do not support it.

I don’t believe or trust Marco, the man who sold his soul to get the position he has now.

Did he listen?

arlene1977.bsky.social•8 days ago

If they don't care about the people in this country. What makes you think they care about other countries. These current Republicans only care about themselves and how much money they can stuff in their pockets.

This should be run on every TV station, including streaming services showing Rubio's response.
