🧵Big news: the Senate just advanced Sen. Tim Kaine’s Iran War Powers Resolution, voting 50-47 to discharge S.J.Res.185 from the Foreign Relations Committee. This is a major step toward reasserting Congress’s constitutional authority over war powers. 1/3

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Ro, I agree with you that we need a strong populist coalition of the right and left that can come together on the most important issues for the future generations of Americans.

This is no easy task given years of deep political divisions between the right and the left on issues both sides are passionate about.

For the sake of my children’s generation, I’m willing to come together, go to the whiteboard, and begin to try to sketch something new.

We both know the powerful political industrial complex of the Democrat and Republican parties will do anything to stop a right/left true America First coalition supported by ordinary Americans and not big money special interests and foreign agents and their donors.

This is likely the only way to break free of the corrupt system from both sides that controls everything, constantly goes to war, and only enriches themselves while average Americans continue to lose.

It’s definitely worth starting the conversation.

RT @repdeliaramirez: We can't bomb our way to peace. Israel’s attacks on Lebanon most stop. 

Trump and Netanyahu must be held accountable…

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Yesterday, Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed 250+ people even as Pakistan said the ceasefire it brokered includes Lebanon.

Netanyahu urged Trump to start this war, now Trump must demand he help end it.

Who's calling the shots here?

US military must refuse orders to commit genocide or war crimes.

@HouseDemocrats @SenateDems should PLEDGE now that anyone carrying out genocidal acts and war crimes WILL be prosecuted.

It's unfair for the US military to be put in this position — but they must refuse orders.

From ‘Just War’ to just peace. Both sides claim to be acting in ‘legitimate self-defence’. Over a thousand dead, millions displaced & its economic consequences are being felt around the world. @emccarthy3 asks, How can we break out of the cycle of violence?

Hence the data shows that nonviolent resistance is at least ten times more likely to yield a durable democracy. Stop the inhumanity!

In the name of Jesus, we urge our U.S Christian political leaders to stop the terror and trauma of bombing and war in Iran! This is not love of friends and enemies. @ChrisVanHollen @Pontifex

[Eli McCarthy @emccarthy3]

Even in the very rare times, violence appears to topple a regime, it inevitably leads to massive cycles of violence such as more war, civil war, military coups, political corruption, and generational trauma.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine.

J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.

L’urgence est aujourd’hui que cesse la guerre à Gaza et que la population civile soit secourue.

La paix est possible.

Il faut immédiatement un cessez-le-feu, la libération de tous les otages et une aide humanitaire massive à la population de Gaza. Il faut aussi garantir la démilitarisation du Hamas, sécuriser et reconstruire Gaza. Il faut enfin bâtir l’État de Palestine, assurer sa viabilité et permettre qu’en acceptant sa démilitarisation et en reconnaissant pleinement Israël, il participe à la sécurité de tous au Proche-Orient.

Il n’y a pas d’alternative.

Les Français veulent la paix au Proche-Orient. Il nous appartient, à nous Français, avec les Israéliens, les Palestiniens, nos partenaires européens et internationaux, de démontrer que c’est possible.

À la lumière des engagements que le président de l’Autorité palestinienne a pris auprès de moi, je lui ai donc écrit ma détermination à avancer.

Confiance, clarté et engagement.

Nous gagnerons la paix.
