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.

For the love of money is the root of all evil.

This is such a gut punch

I'm so sorry, Shaun.

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!

So so sad. Thank you Shaun for your pure honesty.

As of now Talarico is ahead in the polls.

Bullshit. There’s more to the story

Tell it to me

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.

Dear Ms. Lane, With all respect, could you provide more of the story?

There is not more to this story.

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.

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.

This is sickening to read.

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!

I’m shocked and saddened by this information.

It's awful

Literally a new low daily

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 feels like the darkest moment--there is a growing sense of Hopelessness. Are we on the verge of civil war?
