The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....
Article didn’t say and I’m too lazy to search the Congressional Record for them right now, sorry…
Edit: changed my mind and, while I haven’t found the vote yet, I found some of the debate, starting with “Mr. Bacon from Nebraska” saying “Israel” or “Israelis” 36 times, “Palestine” 0 times, and “Palestinian” 2 times (with the first one immediately followed by “terrorists”) in a 5 minute statement 🤦
And of course the always despicable anti-choice conservative who Pelosi and Clyburn got elected over a great progressive candidate, Henry Cuellar (TX 28th)
Same goes for the other ones to be nominated by a president who lost the vote for president (Alito and Roberts), and the other likely sex offender whose victim(s) never got a fair hearing or investigation, Clarence Brown.
The Pentagon is rushing to expand its capacity to wage war in space, convinced that rapid advances by China and Russia in space-based operations pose a growing threat to U.S. troops and other military assets on the ground and American satellites in orbit....
What’s the current estimate as to how long before there’s so much debris that collisions disabling crucial satellites is inevitable? A couple decades? Years? Months?
…which is much less funny than the mental image of a bunch of pears having a YouTube account.
Also, if I need a recipe, I’ll READ a recipe! There’s no way I’m gonna watch a video recipe without having to pause and rewind several times and then unreasonably blame myself for the end result looking almost immeasurably better in the video than in my kitchen.
Draping them in the flag of their oppressors and forcing them to hold uncomfortable stress positions for who the fuck knows while they are photographed to humiliate them further IS torture ffs!
A Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff....
That’s because it’s not a company that makes planes. It’s a company that maximizes stock value and sometimes makes planes, shoddily, when forced to in order to keep the stock value up.
Israel said on Thursday that it would send more troops to Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza, which has become the focal point in the war between Israel and Hamas....
For the past week Israel has described its offensive as a limited military operation, but satellite imagery and Mr. Gallant’s comments on Thursday suggested that a more significant incursion was already underway.
And American genocide-denying media said that it’s not hypocritical that Israel wasn’t banned from Eurovision because they’re nothing like Russia! They’re literally copying them ffs!
