Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"Congress appropriated fiscal year 2019 funds for the construction of border barrier in the Rio Grande Valley, and DHS is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose," the statement said.

They were just following orders

is required to use those funds for their appropriated purpose

Biden is the president, the Democrats control the senate. What you're telling me is that they can literally bomb Pakistan if they want, but they can't use that money to feed the poor instead of building a wall that won't stop people from entering the USA.

It is with great regret that the Democrats keep throwing migrants into concentration camps. The money has been allocated and they have to keep the camps filled, because we must preserve our precious Norms and Values and the Rule of Law

Im seeing people argue this relentlessly. If it fails, they point to the "new student debt relief" but this is pretty blatant lol.

That’s why it’s extra fucking evil that it’s not even NEW debt forgiveness. They’re just finally getting around to doing what was mandated they do in prior years which just wasn’t getting done.

“We’re doing what we were supposed to be doing all along but years late, applaud for us!”
