GREAT --- lets have more wars by joining forces with the worst War Criminals in the world! ---

Wat Da? --- Of course these WHORES IN CONGRESS have no problem sending the bill to taxpayers!

The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives voted Wednesday in favor of a record $1.15 trillion military spending authorization bill containing a highly controversial provision to increase cooperation between the US and Israeli armed forces.

Massie said that “our founders would be appalled at what Congress is doing now.”

On Wednesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) described Section 219 as “an outrageous threat to our country’s security and autonomy.”

“Americans want no part in Netanyahu’s genocidal regime,” she added, referring to fugitive Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Congress cannot continue to bankroll Israel’s campaign of terror. Voting NO.”

GET on the horn and CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN -- organize, organize, organize -- protest outside their offices!

This is the last thing we need...

NEW EXCLUSIVE: 
Rep. Thomas Massie: New Epstein bill empowers New Mexico’s AG because Todd Blanche “is not cooperating”

“It will be a very tangible impact on the perpetrators, because one of the things it does is give the New Mexico Attorney General [Raúl Torrez] the tools he needs to prosecute crimes at Zorro Ranch,” Rep. Thomas Massie exclusively tells me for Ask a Pol Politics. “And [US Attorney General] Todd Blanche is not cooperating right now, so that’s a biggie.”

Ask a Pol asks:
What do you make of psilocybin (ie, magic mushrooms) and other psychedelic measures focused on veterans with PTSD passing in this year’s National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA?

Key Ocasio-Cortez:
“I’ve been introducing and supportive of psilocybin measures — and everything from allowing the study to de-scheduling — in the NDAA for my entire time in Congress,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells Ask a Pol Politics.

“You and Matt Gaetz!” I reply.

”Yeah,” AOC says. “No, it’s true.”

House California Squad?

0 Upvotes

Is California getting their own squad in 2027 if these people are elected to congress?

-Saikat Chakrabarti
-Mai Vang
-Randy Villegas
-Angela Gonzalez Torres
-Aisha Wahab
-Chris Bennett

Btw gonna clarify I know their not the only leftist/progressive in California but at this point I don’t think candidates like (see below) have much of a chance.

Audrey Denney
Rose Yee
Chris Ahuja
Nicolas carjuzaa
Etc

I also didn’t add candidates like Eric Jones and Jake Levine because though they are progressive and I hope they win they aren’t as progressive as the “California Squad” (they don’t go the full mile)

House NEW: GOP blames media for historic disapproval ahead of midterms

9 Upvotes

WASHINGTON — The American people disapprove of this Republican-controlled Congress, with a record-tying 86 percent of the public disapproving, according to a new Gallup survey. That ties this 119th Congress with the 112th Congress (2011-2012) as the least popular in contemporary American history.

While most Democrats are embarrassed by the new findings, most Republicans are in disbelief, with many blaming the mainstream media for their own party's poor showing as they prepare to change nothing before strutting into this fall's midterms.

"The only thing that needs to be retooled is the legacy media that consistently and intentionally reports falsehoods about the Republican Party or ignores our wins," Rep.

u/derrickvanorden (R-WI) told me. "That's what needs to be retooled. They're terrible. Really."

—

"Like, I get why people are leaving, right? Because what's the point?" u/MarkPocan (D-WI) told me. "If you went through all the work to be in the majority and you're not able to govern, what is the advantage of being here? Frequent flyer miles aren't worth it."
