Bernie Sanders (I-Vt...

Yesterday, every single Republican & 30 Democrats supported Trump's $8.8 billion bomb shipment to help Netanyahu continue his annihilation of the Palestinian people.

That isn't what the American people want.

Below are my floor remarks to stop the sale.

@booker.senate.gov Booker voted with GOP to send $9 billion in weapons to Israel yesterday.

After Israel broke the ceasefire.

The US and the Democratic Party are funding war criminals & are complicit in the genocide of a defenseless people. More than 15,000 children have been murdered.

Below is a video with my answer:

A self-described Christian Nationalist group at Arizona State University called College Republicans United are encouraging students to report fellow classmates to ICE.

The brainwashing of this age group is astonishing

Just heard Chris Christie and @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social’s Jon Stewart discuss how the dismantling of the federal government will be met with the rise of governors and state action. I’m excited to see the beginning of a rise in state power against the federal gov’t.
