As comments quickly pointed out, there is no evidence of this $250b number. The account that posted this deleted it presumably because it’s a lie.

The most recent similar proposed legislation was in May 2024 and was indeed supported by Ted Cruz. While not specified explicitly, my understanding is that the total value of this would be around $15b but it has not passed.
$3b did pass via the FY 2025 omnibus and a further ~$12b of value provided via executive orders with Trump and Marco Rubio.
I was thinking about deleting this post but I also want to own up to my mistake. I fell for bait while browsing memes, failing to critically think about the numbers involved. Thanks all who keep each other accountable I feel it’s an important lesson.
I adovacte for their survival, recovery, repentance, and penance in proportion to the weight of their crimes.
honestly very correct. someone else pointed out that even the worst of us states were only 70/30 maga.
call me a bleeding heart lib but i don’t celebrate the suffering of 10 people just because 7 of them asked for it. 🙃
i think some people interpret “full of” differently and that’s a fair gripe to have with this post
as i said in the body text, feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)
Busted 😆 I’m actually a fed, raking in thirty bucks a comment just to…
(checks notes) express solidarity with folks in deep red areas so they know they’re not alone out there.
i thought it was human nature for my paycheck to go to bomb apartment buildings several oceans away while my neighbors die of preventable diseases???? im confused
We are not immune to propaganda! ❤️ It’s on all of us to help each other out, finding our blind spots.
I’m so sorry and thank you for sharing. I hope you can be a light to your community while also keeping safe and healthy. We’re with you homie ✊❤️
Sending love ❤️ I truly hate to see would be-“progressives” laughing at the senseless deaths and violence just because some 30% of them voted a certain way.
It’s one of the ways that capital keeps the culture war lit, I find. Breed hatred and dehumanization for a people group while gleefully stripping that people group from self-determination at every opportunity.

edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.
EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/
ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.
But u know we all about honesty in this joint so
