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.”

That ship has sailed

Not a god damn thing has sailed. The speed with which some of y’all give up, and accept the current status quo as the way things will always be, absolutely astounds me. The backbone of a wet noodle, the foresight of a fruit fly, and the resilience of a tissue.

Well if she's chosen her side, there's always more room on the stockade
