Just so you understand the depth of the cynicism: Trump’s failed war with Iran not only raised America's gas prices, but also global oil prices, which allowed Russia to make a gigantic amount of money and fund the killing of Ukrainians. ​And then they blame Ukraine for a disaster of

If Le Pen wins, that'll end France's nuclear umbrella for Europe (leaving only UK's) & its willingness to honor Art 5, and that's when Putin will strike west.* (* – in the meantime, Putin will have encouraged more Iranian attacks on us & Israel to further deplete our stocks of defensive munitions)

AppHarvest Was Touted As Appalachia’s Future. What Happened? - West Virginia Public Broadcasting
The start-up was built on the idea of using cutting-edge technology and local workers to produce vegetables on an industrial scale. And this was all set to happen in eastern Kentucky, where the company’s founder said this new version of agriculture could help replace the fading coal industry. AppHarvest got a lot of attention — from national media, politicians and investors. But then, last year, the company filed for bankruptcy.

Trump lies and #MAGA parrots the propaganda. Undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion into Social Security in 2022. They can never collect a dime of it. They are not taking your benefits. They are paying for yours. #ImmigrationFacts
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
NO - Biden did NOT let '20 million' in.
There is no official source (CBP, DHS, CBO. Pew) showing anything close. The number is fabricated.
NO - there has NEVER been an 'open border under Biden.
• Record expulsions • Record fentanyl seizures
• More agents & tech - Republicans killed it There has never been an open border.
NO - undocumented immigrants (or illegals) are NOT eligible for your benefits. - Medicare • Medicaid • SNAP
• ACA subsidies • Social Security • Federal cash assistance
They are not taking what they are not eligible for.
NO - Biden did NOT let ACA subsidies expire. Democrats expanded them.
Democrats tried to extend them.
Republicans blocked every extension and forced expiration during the shutdown.
BOTTOM LINE No open border, No 20 million.
No stolen benefits.

One of the first things you notice reading the exhibits is how widespread these operations were. Agents infiltrated meetings at churches, labor spaces, schools and parks. They used plates to find names of protesters then compiled dossiers on them that the agency maintains. (2)
