Don't forget that recent bill to defund the iron dome recently, you remember, the one that got only six votes in favor of it. That bill was introduced by MTG.

Indeed. 4 of these 10 voted against that.

Wow. I disagree with this woman on almost everything, but I am pleasantly surprised by this. Maybe she has a heart in there somewhere.

I’m frankly shocked at the vast majority of Democrats. This confirms all the worst I’ve thought about the party I’ve been voting with since I was 18 (60 yrs and the only time, save once, when I protest-voted Green in 2015). Shame. They’ll be hearing from me.

I learned about Bonhoeffer and stupidity when I was young but I did not really get it. Now unfortunately I do. The moral decay the world has reached is really disgusting. I am desperate to have people see it but most of my colleagues just want to talk about the stock market!

It's surprising that these 525 members of Congress still have their seats ... They should all be impeached and kicked out. If you wonder what sort of action you can take, organizing a mass impeachment of Congress members could be one you could help with.

And go where? Turn about is fair play - no country should allow US citizens to contaminate their soil. We have to clean up our own mess.

That’s surprising. I guess MTG has a soul and a conscience after all. Too bad most Republicans and Democrats do not. 😔

And before Trump it was the Biden Administration. In fact, it was Harris' statements, making clear that she would continue the pro-Israel policies of Biden, which sealed her loss to Trump and furthered the erosion of support for the Democratic Party generally.

Remember MTG imagined Jewish space lasers as a source of evil. This may have more to do with attitudes about Jews than compassion for Gazans. Perhaps not…

Then she has shift-shaped, she is sounding a lot less radical, more mature. Not pleased entirely with Trump, and not afraid to say so.
