Thousands in Gaza are left without shelter and sanitation infrastructure has been destroyed, with sewage spewing into waterlogged and damaged tents.
“All our clothes were soaked. My kids are all sick…Watching them suffering in the cold is heartbreaking.”

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

Go step in the shower, turn only the cold tap, and soak yourself fully clothed. Then, if you’re in an area where it’s about 55°F/13°C, go outside.
This is what families, displaced and unsheltered due to Israeli bombing and aid restrictions, are enduring in Gaza following floods.

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.
House Republicans are doubling down on backing Hegseth and the Iran war like the election never happened.

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 ⬇️

“A 71% supermajority of Americans, including most Republicans, want Congress to end the #Iran war,” @dylanotes said. commondreams.org/news/iran-w… #UnitedStates
NEW: A 71% supermajority of Americans, including most Republicans, want Congress to end the Iran war.
Lawmakers can act on that right now by passing legislation to prohibit more funding for the war, and by *not* passing any bills that continue to fund it.

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.
Nobody tell Trump that these are terms from Obama’s Iran Deal that he trashed.
The U.S. has reportedly agreed to let Iran enrich uranium on its own soil up to 3.67% under a new proposal from Qatar and Pakistan, and Tehran has accepted, according to Saudi Al Arabiya citing unnamed sources.
Under the reported framework, Washington would release $6-9 billion in frozen Iranian assets if a deal is reached. The Strait of Hormuz would reopen and the U.S. naval blockade would be lifted immediately.
The sources said the proposal has revived serious negotiations between Washington and Tehran, and that a preliminary agreement to reduce Iran's enrichment is likely.
The U.S. is pressing Iran to down-blend its uranium enriched to 60%, with the sides discussing whether a third country could help with that process.
Arrangements are also underway to discuss the return of IAEA inspectors to Iran. The sources did not say what the inspectors would be allowed to do.
Yes, but instead of fulfilling his campaign pledge to rejoin the deal, Biden dragged his feet upon taking office. You and other Biden officials haughtily told us that keeping Trump’s sanctions would push Iran to concede to a “longer and stronger” deal. It didn’t. You co-own this.
When it comes to Iran, the costliest mistake President Trump made was walking away from the nuclear deal and replacing it with nothing. All of the bad decisions that have followed flowed from that original sin, leaving America today with fewer good options than it had before.
As I shared with @andrewrsorkin on @CNBC this morning, there is still an off-ramp with Iran, and we should take it. Iran can be pressured into negotiating, but it will not be pressured into capitulating. The right course now is to keep up the economic pressure, avoid further escalation, and use that leverage to get back to the negotiating table and put an end to the President's unpopular war of choice.
Millions of Democrats: “Wow! What an amazing election! We’ve beat the perception of our party’s mediocrity and can harness this momentum to save our country and launch a durable era of Democratic leadership and social progress! Who could possibly ruin this for us?”

Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

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.
