Senator #Menendez appears to be the first sitting member of Congress charged with operating as a foreign agent in violation of #FARA, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and allowing him to remain in the Senate creates a massive national security risk.
For the sake of our national security and our democracy, he must be expelled from the Senate.
Co-sign our letter to Majority Leader #ChuckSchumer! @crew Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
The articles accuse #Mayorkas of "willful & systemic refusal to comply w/the #law" in enforcing #border policy & "breach public trust." After passage, #ChuckSchumer called the #impeachment …a "sham” & said #HouseRepublicans failed to demonstrate the Secy committed any impeachable offenses.
The #Senate is widely expected to acquit…. #Republicans in the upper chamber also expressed doubts Mayorkas' actions rise to "high crimes & misdemeanors" the standard set by the #Constitution for impeachments.

"'He [Schumer] made a good speech,' ... 'I think he expressed serious concerns shared not only by him but by many Americans'", Biden said.

Netanyahu must go as with Likud
The US should end funding for Israel until Netanyahu is gone and the extremist Israeli government is replaced.
#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
Straight to the Israeli public. And he's Jewish - they can't call him anti-Semitic can they?
In remarks from the #Senate floor, Schumer said he had a longstanding relationship with #Netanyahu but believed he “has lost his way by allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of #Israel”. #Gaza
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer--the highest ranking elected Jewish official--delivered a major speech on antisemitism and everyone should watch or read it.
“If we’re forced to abandon Ukraine by a handful of extreme people who seem to have no sense of the reality of the world, we will pay a price for years to come."
