I just voted against the Ukraine Support Act tonight. It sends over $9 billion of your dollars overseas, and includes $250 million for Radio Free Europe, a Cold War relic that benefits no American.

Republicans are passing a temporary rule change that will force us to vote on legislation the same day it’s introduced.
This shell game allows the Senate to jam the House with a spending bill that’s not even settled.
I support border security, but not this bastardized process.
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.
Matt Brooks bragging that the Republican Jewish Coalition spent millions to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky… but if you observe the same thing, you’re antisemitic.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
Ambassador, your job is to represent American interests in Israel. With that in mind, please explain what we receive in return for our investment in Israel.
How have Israel’s actions in Iran, Gaza, or Lebanon, to name a few, made America safer & more prosperous?
The arms sales argument is flawed logic. We give Israel money so they can buy American weapons—why not just spend our money on weapons for our own inventories?
The intelligence we get from the Israelis can be useful, but our increasing over-reliance on it has caused our own capabilities to atrophy. We are a sovereign nation. We cannot outsource components of our national security to nations that do not share our interests— of course they will put their own interests first. No other nation prioritizes the needs of a different country before its own, because that would be foolish.
Israel can still be a decent partner, so long as we are clear-eyed about the differences between our two countries, and act accordingly. We have to put America’s needs first.

There’s a disturbing trend in Congress to grant immunity from state civil lawsuits to various products such as pharmaceuticals, data centers & pesticides.
I think this violates the 7th Amdt, but ironically the 7th is the only enumerated right not yet incorporated to the states.
