Sixty-two Democrats joined 207 Republicans in supporting the amendment, while Democratic leadership, which typically offers a suggestion on which way to vote, gave “no recommendation.”

We got to have more standards than "not a Republican".

These assholes in sheep clothing aren't on our side.

Like, it doesn't matter if you're at "the cool table" if Nazis start sitting down and no one throws them out, you don't keep fucking sitting with the Nazis. You start a new table.

I think Tlaib did a decent job at giving some kind of pushback, but it was particularly galling to see Moskowitz stand up and repeat Israeli propaganda without anyone calling him out on it.

In his speech, he alluded to misinformation that was debunked over a month ago: that the numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry were allegedly unreliable and that the numbers of dead civilians had recently been halved by the UN. Neither of these things were true, and so therefore he was either lying on Israel's behalf or he didn't care enough to do the appropriate research.

When AIPAC is lining your pockets, getting you re-elected, you say what they tell you to say.

Thanks, Citizens United!

Well, Talib, looks like you’re gonna miss out on that awesome AIPAC money!

Saves you the time of washing the blood off your hands, so there’s that…
