The way it went down in #USCongress late-night House Oversight Committee session...
#MarjorieTaylorGreene was able to throw the whole thing into chaos, first by mocking the physical appearance of #JasmineCrockett , then insulting the intelligence of #AlexandriaOcasioCortez . Chairman Comer allowed MTG to break this rule of order, which is why Jasmine Crockett returned an insult to Greene.
"Sadly, #GuineaBissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate #starvation, #illegalSiege and genocide of Palestinians in #Gaza. @israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International #HumanitarianLaw, #UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice #ICC@cij_icj . Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked #internationalLaw and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn. A recently-leaked #USAID memo states that ' #famine in Gaza is inevitable,' and that 'changes could reduce but not stop widespread #civiliandeaths.' It also states that the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance with #USlaw required to receive #USmilitary aid. Nevertheless, last week, the #USCongress passed and Biden signed a $26 billion aid package for Israel. It is this kind of naked impunity, over decades, that has brought us to this point where Israel can carry out a #genocide "
It's very disappointing that potentially as many as 60 million US citizens may lose their affordable Internet access because the US Congress has politicized things and so far failed to act:
Exactly how the Ukrainians shot down the four-engine A-50 with its top-mounted radar is unclear, but analyst Tom Cooper—who has written many books about Soviet and Russian warplanes—has a theory.
Ukrainian radar and missile crews lured the Russian crews into a trap.
If Cooper’s theory is correct, the Ukrainians set the trap on Saturday, when Ukrainian air force jets—presumably Su-24's —struck Russian air force installations across the Russian-occupied #Crimea
"Down one A-50, 👉the Russian air force may have just two of the jets left👈; the other six A-50s reportedly are in need of upgrade and overhaul. Unless the air force is willing to risk the last two flyable A-50s, it must make peace with its 👉new inability to provide radar coverage over all of #Crimea.👈
They "physically barred" US border agents from entering the area and performing their roles of arresting people crossing the border illegally and providing humanitarian aid
"Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on overall spending levels for the current fiscal year that could help avoid a partial government shutdown later this month."
Latino Democrats in the Senate decry Biden's concessions in border and Ukraine talks
Prominent Latinos in Congress looked on quietly, at first, privately raising concerns with the Biden administration over the direction of border security talks.
We should be arming #Ukraine, not "for as long as it takes", but TO WIN.
Why? Because, to begin with, we are seriously struggling to keep #democracy afloat "for as long as it takes" and, in order to defend democracy, we must achieve a resounding Ukrainian #victory.
That's why oligarchs, terrorists, extremists and dictators are ALL so invested in stopping war-time investment in European #security in the Ukrainian front.
@joaocosta I work in logistics for the US Army as a contractor. We have everything earmarked and ready to go. The problem is that the US Congress won't release the money. If you want #Ukraine to win, then contact your congressman and your senator. #uscongress#ussenate
