🚨This morning we reached the required 218 signatures on my discharge petition for Epstein Files Transparency Act II !
I’m working closely with @RepJayapal, @RepTeresaLF and @RepRoKhanna to get this to the floor for a vote soon.
Israel is banking on one thing: if you didn’t give a fuck when it was sniping, bombing, vaporising and starving Palestinian children, you’re hardly going to develop a conscience now that it’s drowning them.

Laura Loomer can't say enough positive things about Pete Hegseth.
Let me say a few @LauraLoomer left out.
On the first morning of this war, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon put a missile into the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Iran. Girls ages 7 to 12, sitting at their desks. More than 160 of them never went home.
Witnesses on the ground, first responders and a parent among them, say the school was hit twice. The second strike killed the survivors huddled in the rubble. You know what that's called. Every soldier in America knows what that's called.
Don't let anyone tell you Pete is off the hook because nobody found his signature on the target sheet. That's not how command works. I served in the Marines, the Army and the Guard, and every one of them taught me the same thing: the man at the top owns everything that happens under his command. Every strike in that opening salvo flew under Pete Hegseth's authority. He threw out the rules of engagement, the same rules that exist to keep little girls from being blown apart at their desks, and then he bragged about it on camera. His own investigators say the target was picked from outdated intelligence that nobody double-checked. That's on Pete. All of it.
Then he and the President went on TV and blamed Iran. Said Iran bombed its own schoolgirls. That's not leadership. That's a cover-up.
That's the "great person" Laura is gushing over.
"You can't let crazy Islamists have a nuclear bomb." Then go to Congress and get a declaration of war, Pete. You never did. You dragged this country into a war the Constitution never authorized, killed a schoolhouse full of children, lied about who did it, and Laura Loomer is handing you a gold star.
Pete Hegseth and Laura Loomer are enemies of a free America. One gives the orders, the other cheers him on, and neither will ever answer to the Gold Star families or the Iranian parents digging their daughters out of the rubble.
There's a special place in hell for men who kill children and lie about it. Laura's earned the seat right next to him.
@AnaKasparian As pointed out by Mearsheimer and Walt in The Israel Lobby, Israel is the only country with a 'special exception' allowing it to set aside 25% of the aid it receives, to shore up it's own national defense industry. Day light robbery of the US taxpayer. @AnaKasparian
Brett is doing serious work here. The FDD is laying a trap for yet another forever war. Unfortunately, the malfunctioning, the low IQ fool in the Oval Office keeps falling for it.
IMPORTANT: The Foundation for Defense of Democracies Iran Director is telling the truth behind the U.S. economic warfare strategy. It’s not to collapse Iran (actually many of his colleagues think it will), but to FORCE Iranian escalation to give the guise of “self-defense” for the U.S. and Israel to carry out their own escalation:
“It is one that if held, will squeeze the Islamic Republic’s oil exports like no other into engagement and submission (less likely) or escalation and leading with their chin (more likely).”
He KNOWS Iran is far more likely to escalate than capitulate. He KNOWS that will cause immense global economic destruction…
But it will then provide cover to the US and Israel to continue the Israeli and FDD goal of total regime change.
They don’t care about you. They don’t care about the United States.
They care about Israel and THEMSELVES.

Brad Lander is supporting Hakeem Jeffries.
“Right now, we need a unified [corporate Zionist] party.”
It’s never the “right time” for Democrats to fight for us.
I don't think AOC and Zohran anticipated the huge public backlash against Jeffries & Schumer when they threw their lot in with them so early. That's why AOC's squirming at the chalkboard & changing her tune to 'of course we'd *prefer* a progressive challenger but there's nothing we can do' from 'I support Jeffries bc of housing in NY.'
