#BernieSanders blocked #Ukraine & #Israel aid bill, which would have passed, but for his single vote

He said "I do not believe we should be appropriating over $10 billion for the right-wing #extremist #Netanyahu government to continue its current military approach"

On Ukraine, #Biden said "#Republicans are willing to give #Putin the greatest gift he could hope for" adding this was no time for 'petty politics'. #US funds for Ukraine could soon run out

If President Biden and his cabinet opened their meetings with a haka, that would put the Republicans in their place.

McGovern: And I find it ironoc that we are talking about censuring Mr. Bowman, yet we never censured any of our colleagues who tried to overturn the election on January 6 or who failed to respond to a subpoena..

@HopeVanDyne Louder for the apologists: “We have to draw a red line and it doesn’t matter what your political view, you can’t politicize rape and you can’t contextualize rape,” Moran Zer Katzenstein, founder of Bonot Alternativa that promotes gender equality in Israel, told NBC News outside the U.N. on Monday. “Rape is rape and rape.”
