The House just passed an atrocious $858 BILLION in annual defense spending.
That's $45B more than Biden even asked for.
Health care?
"We can't afford it."
Child tax credit?
"Too expensive."
Defense spending?
"Here I just found an extra $45 billion dollars laying around."

It is #HumanRightsDay.
I've chosen to celebrate Joe Clark.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1984-1991 he:
- Led the western response to the Ethiopia famine
- Pushed Canada to heavily oppose apartheid
- Arranged for many refugees to come to Canada
- and much more!
