Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.
Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet
Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!

A dark and mysterious background, with copies The Children of Solra; The Dark Underbelly of a Golden Theocracy. The cover is dark blue, featuring a fiery sun, a scorpion and a bee. The back cover blurb reads: Naïve Acolyte Castian is summarily judged, excommunicated, and sentenced to death. He awakens in a strange place he believes to be a test from his god, Solra. Far from his familiar world of orthodox dogma and unquestioning obedience, the bizarre realities and horrifyingly advanced technologies he encounters on the fabled Isle of Nefas push Castian into a crisis of belief. Meanwhile, the sinister High Shepherd Stark pursues unholy political ambitions while concealing a dark personal secret. As Stark's elaborate plans for total domination unfold, rebellion against the oppressive regime grows. Amidst the brutal chaos, a fragmented resistance fights to protect the innocent and expose the truth. With experimental gadgets, hidden identities, and desperate battles, the fate of the Domains hinges on Castian awakening to the true nature of his world. Will the resistance “bring the light”, or will the darkness of the past consume them all? Children of Solra: The Dark Underbelly of a Golden Theocracy is a gripping tale of belief, rebellion, and the quest for truth in a world where nothing is as it seems. Fans of The Handmaid's Tale will love this thought-provoking dystopian adventure.
