We just gave $40 billion to a country that is screwing us by selling to China, so China doesn't have to buy from or deal with the US.
That's almost the entire budget for USAID, except instead of saving one South American dude, we could have saved millions of children.

Great to see that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is far ahead of his opponents regardless of Adams supporters.
