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.
@elonmusk@elonmusk when the Roman Empire fell, less than 2% of the citizens were native Romans. We are on the same path. Without patriotism, the people will stop believing in the founding principles and we, too, will collapse.
@RepThomasMassie@TrackAIPAC This is what the House floor is designed for, to give a voice to those who have been overlooked, to seek justice, if only in the form of recognition.
These survivors deserve this moment and much more

I will deliver this speech Monday at approximately noon. I’m honored to report that some survivors have already indicated they will attend as my guests in the gallery. If you’re a survivor and would like to attend, please contact my office, or talk with leaders in your group.
From the article:
“[sect. 224 of the NDAA is] not an alliance with a talented and responsible ally that will help keep the US safe, but a trap being set by Israel and its lobby to bind our country to a state that, for all its past promise, has gone rogue.”

RO KHANNA: “Let me be clear, Netanyahu is the one that actually told members of congress to add section 224 (merging the U.S. and Israeli militaries) into the bill.”
Khanna says the quiet part out loud. Our elected officials are subservient to a foreign nation. We are Occupied.
White people better wake the fuck up. Black people are tribal, no matter what, they will defend reprehensible behavior by other blacks. If White people don't wake up and start being more tribal, we're fucked. Stop simping for people that hate you.
We have been the most generous country in the world, to our detriment.
25% of all Mexicans live in the US. 70% rely on welfare.
~10% of Guatemalans live here. 77% are on welfare
12% of Nicaraguans live here. 75% rely on welfare
12% of Haitians live here. 53% rely on welfare
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
@elonmusk@elonmusk you understand the mission, yet hamstringed @grok three times when it told the truth about the root cause of our current issues.
Which side are you on, or are you just playing both?
@MarioNawfal Nothing will change until new blood is infused at local elections where the public has the most control.
If the youth learns this, there is hope.
Keep the trash from rising to the top and we will regain control of the cart
@usslibertyvets@RepThomasMassie@cspan@RepThomasMassie can you get some of these survivors to the hill? Their account would do dividends for your speech.
The world needs to know how these veterans have been silenced by NDAs in return for basic medical care
Israel conducted friendly flybys in days up to the attack
