You wouldn’t be shutting down the government. You’d be offering a bill that funds the government but prohibits any funds for the war. If Republicans oppose that, they would be choosing to continue the war *and* shut down the government.
NEW: Senior Dems resist shutdown threat to end Iran war.
“I want the war to end. Would shutting down the gov make that more likely, or would it just hand the Republicans a political victory while the war continues?” said Rep. Adam Smith

Says cutting off funding is another avenue to end the Iran war: "what we did — Congress did — to stop doing Vietnam, stop feeding it, stop giving money for it. So we're going to be looking at all of those things"

The Israeli government must allow building materials and winter supplies into Gaza immediately.

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

🚨More from the Jewish Electorate Institute/The Mellman Group post-election poll of Jewish voters:
59% of Jewish Democrats have a favorable opinion of Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, while only 25% view him unfavorably.

The reality, of course, is that the USG staff with “access to the information” on Israeli govt compliance were advising Blinken the opposite of what he said here. Blinken just ignored them because this was what he preferred to believe.

Pete Hegseth has grossly abused his position as Secretary of Defense.
He is waging an illegal war in Iran, conducting extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and continues to put innocent civilians in harm's way.
Accountability is due. It's time to impeach Hegseth.

Horrifying, heart-breaking, and morally unconscionable.

"I would like us to figure out how to stop making deals with countries like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, who are doing genocide in Sudan. I would like us to actually promote our values." Gulf state allies are going to feel the difference with the new Congress.

في يناير 2025، خلصت الخارجية الأمريكية إلى أن أفرادًا من قوات الدعم السريع وميليشيات حليفة ارتكبوا إبادة جماعية في السودان. بينما شارك السعودية في وساطة جدة لحماية المدنيين. أما بشأن الإمارات، فنقلت بلومبرغ عن خبراء أمميين أدلة على دعم مقاتلين قاتلوا إلى جانب الدعم السريع.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and 5 are dead due to flooding in Gaza this weekend. More than half a million children lack safe shelter as winter begins. The Israeli government must allow building materials and winter supplies into Gaza immediately.

Yes, and Blinken’s admin colleague Jon Finer acknowledged as much in @ddk_nyc’s July piece: civilian harm is part of both Hamas’ and Israel’s strategy.
It’s outrageous that Blinken is continuing to mislead the public and give cover to ongoing atrocities, as he did in office.
This is just a stunningly wrongheaded assessment from @ABlinken.
It was manifestly false back when he was repeatedly signing off on weapons transfers to the IDF, and looks even worse with the benefit of hindsight. Indefensible.

Since April, I’ve led the push to impeach Pete Hegseth. Here’s why every member should vote this week to hold him accountable.

Thank god this distraction is out of the way so @TheFP can return to publishing work that “advances healthy public discourse.”
We deleted an opinion video about the use of foreign languages in election night speeches. The post contained a factual error and its tone fell short of what we believe advances healthy public discourse. The rigorous editorial process that produces the work that appears on our website and in our newsletters must apply to everything we post on social media. We’ll be updating how we do things to achieve just that. We regret the error.
