Robert Reich - As a Navy lawyer, Ron DeSantis advocated for force-feeding Guantánamo prisoners through their noses, a practice the UN Commission on Human Rights has designated as torture.
Institute for Policy Studies - In FY 2023, out of a $1.8 trillion federal discretionary budget, $1.1 trillion — or 62 percent— was for militarized programs. That includes war and weapons, law enforcement and mass incarceration, and detention and deportation. Less than $2 out of every $5 in federal discretionary spending was available to fund investment in people and communities. ... The U.S. spent $16 on the military and war for every $1 that was spent on diplomacy and humanitarian foreign aid.

What Is a Feeding Tube?
A feeding tube is a flexible plastic tube placed into your stomach or bowel to help you get nutrition when you're unable to eat as well as you need to. You may have a condition like Parkinson’s disease that makes it hard for you to chew or swallow. Or you might have a serious illness like cancer and lack the strength to eat enough to stay healthy.
Depending on your situation, the tube will run either through your nose or mouth or directly into your stomach or intestines. You don’t need surgery for a nasal or mouth tube. They’re often used if the need is temporary. You’ll need surgery for the other types of tubes.
