🚨 BREAKING: The House has PASSED @RepThomasMassie’s resolution to FORCE the release of names of Congressmen who used the Congressional slush fund to pay out for sexuaI misconduct settlements, 420-0

The Committee on Ethics must now preserve and public release all relevant records.
Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.
She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.
CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf
“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.

Thank you @RepThomasMassie!! you gave the dead of the USS Liberty a voice. You stood up for us when nobody had the courage. You’re a beacon of hope for our movement and our country
MASSIE: “The Israelis napalmed the deck of the USS Liberty and then machine-gunned the lifeboats. They were intent on leaving no survivors.”
It took 59 years for the USS Liberty survivors to even be recognized by our occupied government. God bless Thomas Massie.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
