Having already killed or wounded 200,000 Palestinians, the extremist Israeli government is using mass starvation to engineer the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Despite these crimes, the US has provided $22 billion to Israeli military operations since the war began.
Enough is enough.
The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.
Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.
The US must end its complicity.
Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.
The true measure of a leader is not based on who you beat down but on who you lift up.
For over 24 hours, my friend @CoryBooker stood on the floor of the Senate and lifted up the voices of the American people harmed by the current administration.
We must continue to fight for the best of who we are as Americans. Thank you, Cory, for your leadership.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.
So. This is the state of American democracy.
The richest guy in the world is handing out million dollar checks in order to win a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and elect an anti-choice judge.
We MUST overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
Today, @AOC and I had 34,000 people come out in Denver.
It is the largest rally that I have ever had.
And it tells me that the American people will not allow Trump to move us into oligarchy and authoritarianism.
We will fight back. We will win.
Something special is happening.
Over *34,000* people joined our Fight the Oligarchy rally tonight with @BernieSanders and I.
Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.
Working people are ready to stand together and fight for our democracy.
Thank you Colorado! ❤️
Thank you the 15,000 people who came out in Tempe, Arizona tonight for our Fighting Oligarchy tour.
In fact, not only was the arena filled, but the overflow crowd was also at capacity.
Americans will not hand their democracy over to authoritarianism.
