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.

As of December 2023, the Federal Election Commission has received 59 complaints alleging that Donald Trump or his committees violated the Federal Election Campaign Act. In 29 of those cases, nonpartisan staff in the FEC’s Office of General Counsel recommended the FEC investigate Trump.
Yet not once has a #Republican#FEC commissioner voted to approve any such investigation or enforcement of the law against Trump, a new CREW analysis found.
#HouseRepublicans urged Schumer to "schedule a trial on the matter expeditiously."
#Schumer & his staff have promised to start the process of swearing senators in as jurors the day after the articles are received in the chamber. Washington Senator Patty Murray, the #Senate President Pro Tempore, will preside over the #Mayorkas#impeachment trial.
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.
I've posted before:
Israel has a right to exist
Israel has a right to go after Hamas
If Israel is not careful they may win the battle and loose the war
The only long term solution is a two state solution with most of the occupied West Bank returned to Palestinian control and as part of the Palestinian state.
Netanyahu must go as with Likud
The US should end funding for Israel until Netanyahu is gone and the extremist Israeli government is replaced.
