Was the bill only to vote on if non-citizens who served in the military should be granted citizenship? The whole bill was just that question? If so, I'll disagree with all 208 of them.

Or was this shoved into a bill that includes a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with that question?

Republicans largely opposed the bill over what they have described as a Biden administration-fueled "crisis" at the U.S.-Mexico border. Republicans cite record numbers of Customs and Border Protection encounters with immigrants at the border and drug seizure numbers.

The bill "creates additional carve outs to an already broken immigration system," Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., the ranking member and likely next chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, said on the floor. "Right now, DHS can't even do their job of securing the southern border and enforcing immigration law."

Republicans also argued that most deported veterans have committed other crimes and so are too dangerous to be in the country.

House Financial Services Chair Waters doesn’t plan to subpoena Sam Bankman-Fried to testify at hearing on FTX collapse

Wow a corrupt bitch. This fuck committed a Madoff size fraud and democrats are gonna not hold him responsible because he funded midterms and was the second largest doner of Biden.

Democrats are corrupt whether it’s working with tech to censor stories like Hunter laptop or not holding billionaire fraudsters accountable

I’m sure there will be silence here….but but trump. Please

The fall of crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried has been painted as a big blow to the Democratic party, whose candidates were major beneficiaries of his largesse. But in a new interview, Bankman-Fried has claimed he gave equally large amounts of money to Republicans.

“I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount to both parties,” Bankman-Fried told the crypto commentator and citizen journalist Tiffany Fong.

“All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.”

Bankman-Fried’s undisclosed donations were made possible by the supreme court’s 2010 decision in the Citizens United case, which made it easier for donors to give large amounts of money anonymously and has led to more than $1bn being poured into federal elections since 2010.

Public data shows that some parts of Bankman-Fried’s empire gave equally to both parties. Data from OpenSecrets, a non-profit that tracks data on campaign finance and lobbying, shows FTX US, the company’s US operation, gave equally to both parties.

But Bankman-Fried’s public donations went largely to Democrats. The FTX founder gave more than $990,000 to candidates in the last election cycle, according to OpenSecrets, and another $38.8m to outside groups. Only about $235,000 of his public political giving went toward Republican candidates.

Guess which Justices voted to allow dark corporate money to be used in elections ... as a form of indivual's right to free speech? Bc corporations = people, and speech = money

Wow, I wonder what’s the biggest influence peddling…$286k to republicans from FTX or 38 million to outside democrats PACs? Along with 990,000k of his own money to democrats?

To frame this as equal giving to both party’s…lolololol. Nope doesn’t pass the smell test.

Lots of red in there .. House is threatening a subpoena if he doesnt testify voluntarily

Odd to see a conservatives get their panties in a bunch over corporate political donations

Blankman's story isnt which party he donated to (he donated millions to both), thats legal thanks to conservatives Justices .. its whether there was financial fraud

But anyway ... wont stop the 10% of Americans that just irrationally hate democrats

----

Hearings will happen .. and people will spin .. end of the day Im still eating a salad for lunch

SS thinks political donations made from a result of a 40 billion dollar fraud is no big deal. It wasn’t his 50 million dollars. That’s the problem. And at bet you think he didn’t expect anything back in return.

Number 2 Democrat donor in the last cycle used 10s of millions of stolen funds to support campaigns

But yet, that’s the best you come up with.
