Rep. Ilhan Omar speaks ahead of the vote to oust her from the Foreign Affairs Committee: "My leadership and voice will not be diminished if I'm not on this committee for one term. My voice will get louder and stronger...take your vote or not. I am here to stay."

Make no mistake: This action by House Republicans is an effort to stamp out dissenting and diverse voices. Congresswoman Omar is a dedicated public servant whose professional and lived experience has been valuable to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Patriot missiles in Ukraine wouldn’t just be another shipment in the constant stream of weapons. This would mark a clear escalation and be seen as the US acting as a party in the war. So why is even considering this?? #PeaceInUkraine!

No one pays attention. For 7 years 50% of discretionary spending vote takes place and reporters focused on other stupid shit. Would would almost think it’s a setup. BTW these dollars are America’s bipartisan at it finest (jk).

JUST IN: The Senate passes the $847 billion NDAA in an 83-11 vote.
The defense bill now goes to Biden for his signature.
Replying to
The US created a weapons based economy. House passed the $837 B NDAA ($25 B more than White House wanted) and the Senate is expected to pass b4 break. Every year there will be one day of twitter attention and then party like it’s 2023.

Yall: I'm very sorry Biden killed the Yemen resolution yesterday. I know yall worked hard on it and that you're disappointed. I am too.
A couple things to keep in mind: the expired cease-fire is still mostly holding, with some small violations, but airstrikes haven't resumed...

Biden doesn’t want the humanitarian crisis in Yemen to end. Remember how shocked Dems were when Trump vetoed a similar Bill?
