Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

Instead of spending nearly $270 BILLION on mass deportations ($2,358 PER taxpayer), we could fund: Medicaid for 12 million people. Healthcare for 5 million veterans. Free early education for 6.7 million children. Money for cruelty vs. money for community.
