I asked Bill Foster to his face in November 2023 to support a ceasefire. He said “that’s an inappropriate ask” and turned his back. Now, after two years of arming Netanyahu to commit genocide, he puts out this pathetic empty statement. History will record Bill Foster as complicit in genocide.

The recent ceasefire will hopefully bring relief to those enduring a genocide, and we hope it marks the beginning of lasting peace. Although I remain hopeful, a ceasefire is only the first step, and it is not enough.

Very odd SCOOP:

Just weeks before the 2024 primary election between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell, Bell used over $35,000 in campaign funds to buy his friend's Dodge Durango, which the friend had failed to sell two years earlier.

He then hired the friend, who now drives the car.

Wesley Bell Used $35,000 in Campaign Cash to Buy His Friend’s Dodge Durango

The congressman from St. Louis put some of AIPAC's money to an unusual use. He now faces a rematch with Cori Bush.
