More Democrats than ever before voted to stop sending money to Benjamin Netanyahu's government, despite the fact that this amendment was an imperfect vehicle for our movement.
Today, over 100 House Democrats voted for a measure to block billions of dollars in weapons to [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.
I just voted to end US funding for Israel’s weapons of war. More Democrats than ever before voted to block funding. That is a victory for the millions of Americans who have demanded an end to our taxpayer dollars going to fund genocide.
Tomorrow we get back to work to build a Democratic Party that spends taxpayer dollars on working people, not an out of control military abroad. We will win.
After the Israeli government has killed more than 70,000 people in Gaza and helped lead the United States into a destabilizing, deadly war with Iran, we are called to act.
At a time when millions are struggling to make ends meet, we are sending billions of dollars to a military that has killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, destabilized the region, and helped lead us into…

Soon, the House will vote on an amendment to block taxpayer funding to Israel’s military. I will vote yes.
Congressional Republicans gifting ICE with billions of extra dollars of funding while Americans are struggling to make ends meet is an outrage.
If we want workers to gain more of the wealth in our society that they’re creating, we should update these laws that were passed by the great labor movements of a century ago.
People have just assumed that that time-and-a-half is written in stone somewhere.
