Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.
I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.
In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Musk and Trump are working feverishly to cut Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, public education, nutrition and other programs.
Why? So Musk and other billionaires can get a huge tax break.
Together, we’re not going to let them get away with that.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Starving children is a war crime.
UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”

Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.
