This is the most nakedly desperate attempt at a gotcha I've seen from you.
A particularly stupid "every accusation is a confession"
How is that desperate? It took no effort, no commitment, and 6 seconds to type.
Ya'll unambiguously accuse me of lies all the time. If a question from me suggesting even that possibility comes off as desperate, imagine what you look like.
As of this week we finally got a federal government. Only took 239 days, which is honestly pretty disappointing.
Anyway, here comes the Arizona coalition made up of the right wing Flemish nationalist NV-A, the center-right liberal MR, the center-right catholic CD&V, the other center-right catholic Engagés and for some reason the social-democrat Vooruit. Could be worse, I guess. Could've included the fascists.
MR is not a surprise, N-VA is also very pro-business/wealthy. Neither is the two catholics, those have a long history of playing along with right wing nationalists so long as they get to stay at the big boy table. The sossen is a bit weirder, since they spent like the last 20 years opposing the nationalists. Guess it was a really good carrot.
Anyway, it's a right wing gov so policy will be slashing social services and pensions, limiting right to strike and protest, and so on, while increasing spending on police, defense, migration (including the formation of whole new department) and, while not specifically said, probably also tax breaks for the wealthy.

Trump wants his new Attorney General to "fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society" and says that people "can't be happy without religion, without that belief".

Yeah, after I see all those news reports of churches burning, Christians being dragged out onto the streets and beaten, and... wait, no, none of that is happening. What this actually is, is an attempt to force Christianity onto all Americans through force of law.
I'm sure Tstorm is thrilled.

I mean, lots of Christian churches have been burned, a bunch of mass shootings have been at Christian churches, you post here... tons of crimes aimed at Christians.

I think it's no coincidence that you keep mentioning a dollar figure but not a material impact.
He doesn't really care about the edit.
This is chaff. It's just throwing out as much shit as possible to distract and disrupt everyone else.
If they're going to write an article like that and get the details wrong, it'd be better not to write it at all. They didn't just remove some filler. They aired it in two different ways, once in the ads for the interview and a second time when they aired the interview, and one had only the first half where the other had only the second half, creating the illusion that the same question was answered in two totally different ways.
And to her credit, I don't think that's a meaningless sentence. It's not super well phrased, but her whole answer to the question should have been something like "I know Netanyahu is listening because a lot of Israel's actions have changed in response to our requests. And because we know he's listening to us, that makes it even more important that we continue to insist that the war needs to end." With only the first half, her answer looks like "yeah, a bunch of this war is because we told him to." With only the second half, it looks like her answer is "we'll keep insisting even if he doesn't listen." You need the whole thing to make a semi-coherent answer to the question, and 60 minutes bungled the crap out of it.
That's probably what, at most a dozen incidents nationwide in a year aside from the occasional bored schoolkids tearing something up? Seems like a waste of resources, thought we were supposed to be all about efficiency now?
*ugh* no. Maybe it's needed for your prosperity gospel ass to not hate yourself, and maybe it helps you keep support from the religious right, but fuck off.
It's not coincidence-- it's because the USAID website, including its progress reports, have become inaccessie since about Monday.
Some figures are still available. 53 million people received direct food assistance in 2022, amounting to 1.8 million MT. On top of that there's hundreds of millions in local farm development in Sudan, Syria, Haiti, Gaza, Ghana, Zambia and elsewhere.
Over 25 million children under 5 receive emergency nutrition interventions on top of that.
~1 million people living with HIV received ongoing treatment including antiretrovirals in South Africa alone, and overall its ~20m people. Millions more receive treatments of other kinds across sub-saharan Africa for malaria and tuberculosis.
Over $2 billion has gone to disaster recovery programmes in Gaza since Nov 2023. Hundreds of millions have gone to disaster recovery in Sudan during the civil war.
