Section 219 (was 224) of the NDAA contains a dangerous provision to integrate our military tech with Israel’s.
@RepRoKhanna & I submitted an amendment to strike 219. I included the Rules Committee roster here; 7 of 13 members must agree in order for our amendment to get a vote.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Amnesty International officially warns the UK is setting a terrifying precedent by sentencing Palestine activists as terrorists.
The British establishment is criminalizing moral convictions and destroying the right to protest just to protect the Zionist regime.
The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.
Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.
Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.
Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.
Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.
Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.
Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.
Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.
You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.
And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.
All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.
All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.
I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.
They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.
He is bailing out Sam Altman. OpenAI cant IPO because they are massively in debt and dont make any money so Altman runs to the White House begging for a bailout and magically 3 days later we get this.
This is the TARP bailouts all over again lol
How "rich" did we get after '08
WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!!
Yesterday, our colleague and DD Geopolitics correspondent Chris was told that the US government has placed him on the FBI's no-fly list while trying to board a flight in Beijing.
He is an American citizen. He received no warning, no charge, and no reason. He found out only when the airline refused to issue his boarding pass after eight hours of waiting, stranding him abroad. As an American, he is now barred from flying to, from, or even over his own country.
His "offense" is journalism.
Chris was traveling to cover Iran's national team at the World Cup. In recent months he reported on the ground from Minab in southern Iran and from the site of the Starobelsk strike in the Donbass, where a dormitory full of teenagers was killed. His work documents the human cost of the wars Washington funds and fights: the children who never make the press releases.
For that, an American citizen has been placed on a terrorism watchlist with no due process and no explanation.
This is not a small thing. The no-fly list operates with almost no transparency, Americans are routinely listed without ever being told why, and the redress process is a black box that a federal court has already found violates constitutional due process. It is one of the most powerful quiet censorship tools the government holds, and it is now pointed at a journalist for reporting things they would rather no one see.
DD Geopolitics will not be silenced. We are pursuing every legal avenue available to Chris, and we will not let this be buried.
If they can do this to him with no warrant, no charge, and not one word of explanation, they can do it to any American who shows the world something it isn't supposed to see.
@SecRubio This administration sweats weakness from every pore. Strong nations dont steal, kill, starve & flex in a pathetic attempt to hide their perpetual failures & downward mobility in the world. … Ya’ll are a bunch of weak, cowardly little impotent men Nobody respects u!
@SecRubio Arrogance will be the downfall of the sociopathic criminals who occupy the White House. Ya’ll are driving this nation into a collapse from which I truly hope you will be scooped up & tried for war crimes & crimes against humanity. U PO💩
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.
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.

You might be noticing that a lot of Zionists are obsessively smearing Russia.
Thankfully ClockTower X, (which is the project of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign affairs) explicitly notes in their FARA documents that a part of their propaganda program targeting Americans will teach that antisemitism comes from Russia. And that me and Tucker Carlson are therefore sourcing our talking points from Russia. (Note, these documents were filed before my family trip to Russia was even planned.)
Israel is behind trying to train Americans to be Russophobic.
I wonder why.
Also, you have to appreciate the irony of literal foreign agents using a technique to smear Americans as foreign agents.
On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.
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.
@SecRubio Tank Man survived, Marco.
The tanks stopped.
Rachel Corrie's bulldozer didn't stop.
It reversed.
She was 23.
Your government funded the machine that killed her.
“I want to kill someone today & it might be you"
"They wrenched my trousers & underwear down & I was raped by one of the soldiers"
"Other people had guns inserted inside them"
"My daughter was syringed with an unknown substance"
Juliet Lamont's Gaza Flotilla testimony:
Wonderful to see!
Thank you for sharing the truth for all to see.
We should be friends, allies, and trading partners with Russia and much friendlier to the rest of the world.
And keep our tax dollars at home to be spent for Americans and stay out of foreign wars.
