Surveys show Americans believe foreign aid is 25% of the federal budget. It’s less than 1%. The public is misinformed about what the US spends money on, which creates an abstract desire to “cut spending” that’s extremely difficult to translate into policy. https://t.co/4rCmA32YoL https://t.co/a0cOBWQFhT — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s remarks reveal the problem. Foreign aid is <1% of the US budget. There isn’t $31 trillion in low-hanging “waste” fruit to cut. His other quotes are just rhetoric. Balancing the budget requires cutting popular benefits and/or raising taxes. https://t.co/FidqOzWkCy https://t.co/VGrZLo6RYW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. George Santos has changed his Twitter header photo. It no longer features @EliseStefanik. Two days ago, vs. now: https://t.co/VJECwh4j9g — PolitiTweet.org
