What assistance you aren’t giving any many people have not only said it but shown it. Including your 1.7trillion Slush fund, as Mayorkas says your broke.

[madbager]

All the funding is gone! They've spent it all

[bluesky]

It’s a joke where’s the money, where’s the money to help these people with with devastations, weather disasters, people are in dire need, theses talks are not helping anyone that going thru it right now, you spend the money, there is nothing, people need help from Helen and now Milton, waste of air

[michaelcapps]

I trust her and the Biden administration as far as I could throw them

[CameronMacDonald-qzrz]

Holding people accountable is different than not trusting people

[jayhicks]

Here is a better question. Who in congress thought it was a good idea to take FEMA money and separate it into multiple funds and use that money for NON citizens? Why is FEMA involved in any other program than what it was desinged for and that is in case of natural disaster for the American people!

[CoocooberryJones]

Money for Americans not for Israeli government.

[royal-toy]

We the tax payers need to tell our representatives to stop wasting money on unnecessary wars and help people here. We have already given Ukraine 60 billions and Israel 30 billion dollars but for us they say nothing is left.

[michaelcapps]
