According to https://t.co/ZqDAYLoFMK, Speaker Mike Johnson received $618,530 from AIPAC-affiliated contributors in the 2023-2024 cycle, including $608,530 from individuals and $10,000 from AIPAC's PAC. Reports also note $95,000 after he supported a $14 billion Israel aid package in 2023 and $25,000 from 2021-2022. Some argue these funds influence pro-Israel votes, while others see them as legal advocacy reflecting U.S. policy consensus. The extent of influence is debated, and transparency in campaign finance remains key.
Netanyahu is not only a war criminal. He is a liar.
All humanitarian organizations agree: Tens of thousands of children face starvation because his extremist government continues to block aid.
Israelis want him out of office. So he came to Congress to campaign.
Private water companies have run themselves into the ground while pumping sewage into our rivers & seas.
Now they want you to pay the price by hiking your bills.
Why are my constituents bailing out greedy companies? Take water into public ownership now!
I really wonder where's the media firestorm over this, this is a scandal of humongous proportions. Literally cutting humanitarian assistance to a people dying of hunger, whom the International Court of Justice just said are plausibly being genocided.
If we become numb to our leaders committing the most morally reprehensible actions imaginable, we become monsters ourselves.
Yesterday, the ICJ found a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.
Today, the UK has joined others in suspending funding to UNRWA.
This is collective punishment — our government should be ashamed of its moral depravity toward Palestinians starving to death.
Today Israel ran over a pregnant Palestinian woman giving birth in the street as she held a white flag trying to get to the hospital, why is this not breaking news?
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
Rishi Sunak is choosing to plunge millions into financial despair rather than stand up to private corporations holding our country to ransom.
There is an alternative to greedflation — tax the rich, redistribute wealth, and bring energy, water, rail & mail into public ownership.
Great day for the parish and for hurling in the county. Well done @Doiregaa , Big R, Manus , Marty Birt, Tipp and all out lads . Good man Keelan hitting 1-1
@AquinoAuthor@FightHaven Oh I sent Elon my $11 as soon as he would take it. I also own bout a half a mill of @Tesla TSLA stock, Cybertruk on preorder, and a Starlink satellite. But my check has a decade on it. $11/month to EM is peanuts compared to what I’ve made off him. Least I could do. #NOCAP
