The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

It looks like the Dems are caving, w/out extending ACA health care credits. What do they get in return? A “promised vote” on extending them in mid-December. The GOP voted to end the credits in the BBB and closed the government b/c they refused to extend them. So, how do you think that vote will go?
