I wonder if there were bad hidden things in the bill again? (I know most of the US congress is bought by AIPAC)

Like in the US, a bill often gets to congress that is named something like "the children are the future protections act" that provides free meals and better education for kids or something universally good, and then clause 7.1.2.5 says "all people of color are stripped of all rights and Lockheed Martin gets an extra 200 billion per year and a on-demand hit squad provided by the CIA and is immune to prosecution, and the police have the right to spy on every citizen and steal their wallets without a warrant."

Because the majority of members of US congress have admitted to not actually reading the bills.

I don't think so. It was a modification to this Biden bill to remove the Israel money.

Update: AOC clarifies she supports genocide and it is not about MTG

Well that is certainly one interpretation of her words. Maybe not the one closest to the truth but definitely one way of thinking lol.
