Donald Trump’s administration stopped all visitor visas from Gaza — including those for humanitarian and medical aid — on Saturday after far-right provocateur and Trump friend Laura Loomer posted about several Palestinian children being allowed into the U.S. for medical care amid Israel’s relentless siege and blockade.

The State Department said it will “conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days,” in a post on X.

“It’s amazing how fast we can get results from the Trump administration,” Loomer wrote on X, adding an applause emoji.”

At least the villains in the comics had some redeeming qualities and some were even likable but god damn this irl timeline.

I was gobsmacked when I found out who she married -- that Martin Shkreli lizard. Who would actually be so morally bankrupt to sleep with that evil guy... LOOMER. He is the hedge fund dude invested in pharma. In September 2015, Shkreli was widely criticized when Turing obtained the manufacturing license for the antiparasitic drug Daraprim and raised its price to insurance companies from $13.50 to $750.00 (USD) per pill.

So it tracks. She is a lizard person and hope I get a ringside seat to see her fry in hell. She is vile.. evil, and garbage.

Used to think that comic books characters were sometimes too black and white, oh boy was I in for a surprise
