@SpeakerJohnson 19 Republicans withheld our votes in order to preserve Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
By refusing to honor the Fourth Amendment, you’re jeopardizing the continuation of FISA.
Include a WARRANT requirement for US citizens if you want Republicans to pass this bill.
“Never Forget: Both Democrats and Republicans have allowed the @IDF to .commit war crimes against the United States with impunity during its attack on our ship, the #USSLiberty.”
God bless @RepThomasMassie for being the first member of Congress ever to honestly honor them.
Turns out that people don’t like genocide or terrorists, regardless of the uniform of the terrorist. Also, dial back the chosen people rhetoric. Comes across more master race than you will ever understand. People don’t like being called Nazis for disagreeing with you and we really hate your insistence that criticism of the government of Israel is antisemitism and an attack on all Jews.
Ambassador, your job is to represent American interests in Israel. With that in mind, please explain what we receive in return for our investment in Israel.
How have Israel’s actions in Iran, Gaza, or Lebanon, to name a few, made America safer & more prosperous?
The arms sales argument is flawed logic. We give Israel money so they can buy American weapons—why not just spend our money on weapons for our own inventories?
The intelligence we get from the Israelis can be useful, but our increasing over-reliance on it has caused our own capabilities to atrophy. We are a sovereign nation. We cannot outsource components of our national security to nations that do not share our interests— of course they will put their own interests first. No other nation prioritizes the needs of a different country before its own, because that would be foolish.
Israel can still be a decent partner, so long as we are clear-eyed about the differences between our two countries, and act accordingly. We have to put America’s needs first.
Although virtually all Republicans eventually admitted by their votes that it was right to release the Epstein files,
only three were brave enough to sign my discharge petition to force that vote.
Boebert, Greene, and Mace have paid an enormous price for doing the right thing.
