Chuck Schumer was one of 7 Senate Democrats to vote to send bulldozers to Israel. 40 Democratic Senators voted no.
Mr. Schumer, you are out of touch with our base and the nation.
Step aside.

Staunchly pro-Israel Democrats repeatedly argued colleagues should not hold votes on military aid for Tel Aviv, arguing that would “split the caucus.”
Now those supporting unconditional weaponry (notably Schumer) are the clear minority — a new unified position is arguably found.

This is part of a larger trend of governments - including the Trump administration - trying to censor journalists reporting on the realities of this war.
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin must be released immediately.

Check out the #NoKings protests, @neeratanden.
Lots of people have been gathering across the country and the rallies have included many Palestine solidarity activists protesting Trump's continuation of the Gaza genocide.
@amprog should get involved!

Neera do you think it was the right move for CAP’s board to oust its first Black president and insert you because he voiced criticisms of the Israeli government that 80% of Democrats agree with?

Calling a genocide a genocide hurts our fragile zionist egos” ( @AJCGlobal )
The charge of genocide against Israel remains baseless and inexcusable.
AJC‘s @DrSaraEBrown, a genocide scholar and longtime member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, explains why these accusations misrepresent the facts on the ground and distort the definition of genocide.
During Genocide Awareness Month, share the video and help spread the truth.

Iranian American U.S. Congresswoman @RepYassAnsari opposed Trump's #Iran war but supported arming #Israel, the very government that lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Rep. @yassaminansari slammed Trump for threatening genocide against the Iranian people, but supported #Israel during its ongoing genocide in #Gaza.
She supported arming Israel, opposed the International Criminal Court, and she benefited from pro-Israel campaign money.

The US spent $28.7 billion during the first two weeks of the Iran War — $2.1 billion per day.
This may be a higher estimate than you've seen elsewhere. Those estimates are too low. This one could be too.
See my methodology and full analysis linked below.
ALT US spends $2.1 billion a day on the Iran War. Estimated US war costs, 28 February–13 March 2026. Table format: Expense; Description; Cost. Rows: Operations; Mobilization, administration, combat; $4.25 billion. Weapons; Missiles, interceptors, bombs, other; $20.77 billion. Losses; Damaged or destroyed military assets; $2.71 billion. Subsidies; Pay for Israel’s bombs, interceptors; $1.01 billion. Total; Cost of the first two weeks of the Iran War; $28.74 billion. Average cost per day: $2.05 billion. Estimated direct costs based on author’s analysis of officials’ statements, procurement and O&S data, open-source intelligence, media reports.

Israeli authorities confess they are singling out the Shi'ite Lebanese population for destruction.
This is textbook ethnic cleansing, described as "Israel's message" by the @nytimes.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.
Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

Why is @neeratanden, head of @TheDemocrats Center for @AmProg, sharing pro-AIPAC content?
@TrackAIPAC plays a valuable role in highlighting which Members of Congress take pro-Israel AIPAC money.
(BTW, look what Tanden WON'T post.)

You've probably seen these TrackAIPAC graphics that show which members of Congress are on the take from pro-Israel organizations and lobbyists.
@JoePerticone breaks down their methodology, why it doesn't make any sense, and why you probably shouldn't pay much attention to them.

This is apartheid, plain and simple.
Palestinian prisoners already experience injustice in Israeli military courts, torture in Israeli prisons, and now executions legalized by the Israeli government.
No more genocide and no more ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees.
Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out.
It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

"Venezuela did not attack the United States. There was no imminent armed threat. The Security Council did not authorize the operation ...
... Under international law, that makes the attack unlawful."
