🗳️NEW: Jeffries, Greg Meeks face backlash for TACO-ing on War Powers vote
Democratic leaders, including Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Rep. Greg Meeks (D-NY), are facing criticism after postponing a vote to limit President Donald Trump’s war powers in Iran until mid-April, despite indications the measure now has enough support to pass.
Criticism is coming from progressive advocates, including Demand Progress, whose senior policy adviser told Common Dreams that the delay risks deeper U.S. involvement and more lives lost. Ryan Grim argued Meeks may be backing off precisely because the resolution now has the votes to pass, citing Drop Site’s reporting that some Democrats are reluctant to end a war that politically damages Trump.
Democratic aides deny the claims, saying they are working to secure votes and ensure members are present, according to Common Dreams.
🎥 Grim discussed the development on Breaking Points earlier today. Watch below.
“We are killing people. The United States is killing people.”
Drop Site’s @RyanGrim challenged Newsmax to explain why the U.S. gets to decide Cuba’s future, describing the horrifying impact of the U.S. blockade, which is punishing civilians and rapidly collapsing daily life across the country.
Joseph Kent, a top counterterrorism official under Trump, just resigned.
Kent and I don't agree on much, but he is right:
"Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
Suck to live in a country with a lot of really dumb destructive people and where untreated mental illnesses is just normal because we would rather spend on bombs than health care.
