If you wondered why the 'Signalgate' scandal was all about the privacy breach but not about the US bombing Yemen in the first place without any authorization from Congress, then this is the event for you!!

[Action Corps @theactioncorps]

Congress - not the president - has constitutional power to start wars. Yet the White House is pummeling Yemen illegally. Join our online panel Tues. 5/13 at 8pm ET & hear @AnnelleSheline of @QuincyInst @BruceFeinEsq & @TroopsHomeUS.

BREAKING: Google Earth updated their images of Gaza. Compare.

Being against this is not “antisemitic” or “pro-terrorist”. It’s pro-human.

Sincerely,
A Jewish American.

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Bob Menendez, who intervened when ICE put their hands on two female colleagues, is speaking outside the ICE facility in Newark, where Mayor Baraka was arrested.

MAGA is spreading misinformation. Watch and share the truth from those on the scene.

Thank you @SenatorAndyKim for having the courage to support efforts to block weapons sales to Israel. The indiscriminate killing of children and families in #Gaza must stop. #GazaGenocide

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

I'm forcing votes in the Senate to block the sale of $8.8 billion in heavy bombs to Israel.

We must not be complicit in the destruction of Gaza. History won't forgive us.

Every Senator who supports the rule of law should vote for these resolutions. https://t.co/sgEHUyagYh

[Brian Rawson @thebrianrawson]

Thank you Bernie for taking a stand against weapons to Israel. Please keep up the fight to stop the bombing and murder of children and families #GazaGenocide

URGENT: @State_IO, the decision to cut humanitarian funding to @UNRWA is causing immense suffering among Palestinian refugees and exacerbating the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Reinstate UNRWA funding and call for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE now! #FundUNRWA

On this morning's latest Gaza catastrophe.

Thank you to colleagues @Oxfam @SavetheChildren and @mercycorps for sharing updates regarding events on the ground.

#CeasefireNow

[Brian Rawson @thebrianrawson]

Urgent!

[Paul O'Brien @dpaulobrien]

.@POTUS when are you going to tell Israel publicly "enough is enough. We are not sending you any more arms while you keep using them to kill children and the hungry?"

Humanitarian groups this morning say the numbers of dead from the attacks on food trucks in Gaza this morning may be over 150.

1000+ injured.

When asked about it, @POTUS said 'there are conflicting reports'.

Earlier this month he called the killing of thousands of Palestinians "over the top".

This the moral leadership we are relying on to stop the killing of innocents?

Watch Vermonters confront @SenSanders on his refusal to meet with his own constituents about the US/Saudi role in war in Yemen. They call on him to follow through with December pledge on Senate floor. More in comments. #VTpoli #YemenCantWait #WarPowers

[Brian Rawson @thebrianrawson]

Good debate question

[Action Corps @theactioncorps]

.@UtahDebateCom: Utah residents say they want next senator to stand up for Constitution & stop @POTUS from illegally backing the Saudi war in Yemen. Congress never authorized our participation. Will the candidates support & co-sponsor the Yemen #WarPowers Resolution? #UTdebates

With one pen stroke @POTUS can activate #SDR for #GlobalCrisisRelief

[Action Corps @theactioncorps]

Today marks the one-year anniversary of @POTUS approving the @IMFNews release of $650 B in #SDRs.
Since then the need for #GlobalCrisisRelief has only grown.

[Action Corps @theactioncorps]

Send a letter to @POTUS calling on him to release more life saving resources

[Brian Rawson @thebrianrawson]

One year ago, @IMFNews issued a historic $650B in Special Drawing Rights to help the world weather the Covid crisis. It was a lifeline—but it wasn’t enough.

Today, amid hunger, debt & climate crises, we call on @POTUS to support a new issuance of #SDRs for #GlobalCrisisRelief

[Brian Rawson @thebrianrawson]

YES. @POTUS be a humanitarian on World Humanitarian Day #SDR #GlobalCrisisRelief

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

August 19 is World Humanitarian Day, established by the U.N. to advocate for the survival, well-being and dignity of people affected by crises.

Today, we’re re-amplifying our call for the Biden administration to support a new issuance of Special Drawing Rights with the IMF. 🧵
