Keir Starmer is supposedly a human rights lawyer, and look at the state of that psychopath. Even before he got the top job, and went all-in on mass-extermination, in his former role, as the opposition to Rishi Sunak's Conservative government, Starmer explicitly endorsed cutting off all water to the entirety of Gaza. Money & power corrupt, but so do ego & ambition.
Yep. I don't understand. She just sealed her fate in Texas. I was rooting for here so much. She does such a good job speaking to the GOP and putting them in their place. I can only guess that Israel is more powerful than any other foreign interest at this point and maybe all these Dems made a deal with them to sacrifice Gaza to win the mid-terms? That's my wild guess. My heart breaks for Gaza and the West Bank.
I am sick at heart to learn that this happened. I don't understand how ANYONE, Republican or Democrat or "Justice Democrat" or Jasmine Crockett, could do this to some of the most vulnerable people on earth. I am also sorry that even this vote escaped my attention, to raise my voice in advance.
Most of the members of Congress owe their seats to AIPAC. Some may even believe that the Israelis are victims; that children who have had their limbs blown off, the children who have died and ARE CURRENTLY DYING of disease, exposure and starvation, and the parents who have watched helplessly as their children died slowly, are the perpetrators. Maybe.
Anyone with eyes, a brain, a soul can see the cruelty and injustice. Continuing to fund this horrific crime AND block the best route to relief for the Palestinian people is not worthy of “representing” any of us.
No one who voted Yes on this bill has the right to speak for us. All three branches of our government are filled with people for whom power is all. What a disgusting collection of psychopaths.
Absolutely. How do we change this? How do we get rid of a vermin in our government and replace them With people of integrity, who give a damage and will do the job right who are absolutely not malignant narcissists, and no felons need apply!
It 's impossible until the UNsupreme court is made legitimate. If that's even possible with all the laws they've turned over which used to protect us from big money interests.
This is why no one likes Career Politicians; they are clinically sociopathic and have no ethical principles but to enrich themselves and their backers.

Then what is her purpose? I just saw that my rep also voted Yes. She's been a true Blue pol for years. She has regularly voted No on Israel. What's going on here?
I owe you brother. I thought Ms. Crockett was different. You revealed the real Jasmine Crockett and I'm more than disappointed. I don't live or vote in Texas. And I support Palestinian rights as well as establishment of a country of their own not occupied by Israeli white supremacist genociders. Money gets to our leaders every time!
This actually made me nauseous! I have not liked Israeli actions, since the Crease Fire. But the Democrats jump in and took what little power they had, away from them.
You're late to the game and I don’t fault you for that. Probably not old enuff to either remember or be aware of the coordinated and blatant attack on AGTR-5 (USS Liberty) which killed/wounded over 200 American Sailors.
I’m an OWG who remembers the day. Of Jewish decent, with both direct/indirect family members exterminated by the Nazi's.
I've been fervently Anti-Israel my entire adult life. Their unchecked genocide of Palestinans has only depend my hatred and contempt for them as both a people and country.
Horrible news. AIPAC funding,of course. Sickening! Infants and children in Gaza freeze to death daily. Jasmine Crockett needs to be exposed and shamed along with all the other Democrats that voted for this. Thanks for posting. EVERYONE RESTACK THIS!
Disappointing and shameful but somehow, I am not that surprised. Over the last 10 years, the last 3 especially, I lost any respect I had for politicians (on both sides of the political spectrum) and belief that they supported just causes. This damning incident just shows me further proof that, red or blue, the Reps and Dems are just two sides of the same bloodstained, imperialist coin. Looks like they found something they agree on, sending more money to aid the occupiers to commit genocide, then restricting the victims of genocide from resisting based on terms a foreign power sets. Words fail me at the injustice of this
This is very upsetting. She was a hero of mine. This is similar to Kamala Harris at the time, but not the same. I did not agree with the one issue “holier than thou” people saying they couldn’t vote for Kamala. But now it is different. Maybe their logic is that there is a ceasefire, but Israel continues to kill people and destroy houses. The ceasefire exists only in paper. Really at this point this vote is inexcusable.
You can’t fight against fascism here at home while supporting genocide “over there”. The two are inextricably connected and unfortunately Jasmine thinks fighting against fascism here will absolve her from taking the AIPAC check. She is now a useful puppet of Empire. It’s disgusting
I’m stunned, sickened, and disgusted. Netanyahu, AIPAC and their agenda are a cancer in this world, metastasizing everywhere. I empathize with the Israelis who share my feelings but have no agency to stop this madness, resembling our own state of institutional injustice, inhumanity and insanity.
Unfortunately, it is true. 153 Democrats voted to for this bill, which also funds the Dept of State and the office of the President. This would have been a good bill to halt, to make it clear that the State Dept and the President are dangerously threatening national security and do not deserve to be funded in their current form. And, unfortunately, Jasmine Crockett voted with Hakeem Jeffries and the other apologists for Israel for the conditions on Palestinian aid which Shaun outlined here. Shame on Crockett and all of the other Democrats. For that matter, shame on all of the Republicans who also voted against human rights and morality.
The poster had plenty of time to respond to my respectful request for further info and produced nothing. As far as I'm concerned Jasmine Crockett is just one more sellout in a whole party of sellouts. I'm done with her and the genocidal Democrats.
Whait a sec, 57 Dems voted against it. Worth at least looking at them, possibly supporting them? And 22 Repugs. Probably they are so evil in some other way that we shouldn't support them, but it's still worth looking at them.
So be done with Jasmine Crockett, fine (I had recently heard that she took Repug money to disrupt that race, which I thought was pretty low). But judge the others on their merits, and don't lump them all together.
I just don't know how anyone with a conscience does this. She is a civil rights attorney. It's like people will literally sell their soul for power.

Exactly. Thanks for this
For the love of money is the root of all evil.
AIPAC has mighty deep pockets and, apparently, is mighty persuasive.
$$$$$$
Another reason to vote Talarico in primary
Everyone has done the research—where is it documented that JC is funded by AIPAC?

This is such a gut punch
For me too
I'm so sorry, Shaun.
Only a friend can betray you...

Term. Limits.
So, Congress is nothing more than a cabal of AIPAC, Israeli, money grubbing whores?
Got it.
Then what is her purpose? I just saw that my rep also voted Yes. She's been a true Blue pol for years. She has regularly voted No on Israel. What's going on here?
The genocide in Palestine is a pretty big issue, don’t you think? A red line? When will it stop?
It is a red line for me.

The choice is clear now-James Talarico for senate.
100%
No, he’s taking money from Miriam Adelson too.
Oh great :(

As of now Talarico is ahead in the polls.
He at least claims to support Palestinians......
So so sad. Thank you Shaun for your pure honesty.

Bullshit. There’s more to the story
Tell it to me

Dear Ms. Lane, With all respect, could you provide more of the story?
There is not more to this story.

Majority if not all of Congress has been bought and paid for by their big money masters.
These phony “representatives” represent big money interests Not the populace full stop 🛑
Again the Democrats & Republicans are the same - grifters.
This is sickening to read.
