#Muslim #Democrats in the #US have given #Biden an ultimatum

If the president does not achieve a ceasefire in Gaza by 5pm Washington time, Muslims will work against raising funds and votes for his re-election in 2024.

The National Muslim Democratic Council issued a statement saying:

"Your administration's unconditional support, including funding and weapons, has played a significant role in perpetuating the violence that is causing civilian casualties and undermining the confidence of voters who previously trusted you."

Yet the #US administration currently opposes a #ceasefire in #Gaza, as it does in #Ukraine.

PS. This is a really terrible situation, because who ever the republican candidate is, he will be the same, if not worse than Biden./Farhad

Senate Voted to Let Vets With Mental Issues Keep #Guns Hours Before #Maine Shooting

"Five senators who caucus with Democrats — three #Democrats and two Independents, all up for reelection in 2024 — voted with #Republicans to adopt the amendment. 'It is not right that a D.C. bureaucrat at VA could take away a veterans’ legal right to their firearms simply because they needed assistance managing their finances,' said Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mt.)."

If Israel was fighting a war against hamas, it wouldn't have cut off food, water and electricity to all the people in Gaza.

2.5 million people, half of them children.

“More than 6000 Palestinians including women and children are sitting in the open without shelter in Al-Zahraa city due to the Israeli occupation’s threat to bomb more towers in the coming hours.” #Israel #Palestine #war #Gaza #humanrights https://x.com/onlinepaleng/status/1715

Andrew Yang: Americans are fed up with both Republicans and Democrats | The Bottom Line

Most Americans oppose Congress authorizing additional funds to support Ukraine in its war with #Russia, according to a new #CNN poll.

55% of respondents say the US #Congress should not authorize additional funds to support #Ukraine.

Additionally, 51% say the US has already done enough to help Ukraine.

A bigger concern across party lines in the new poll is that the war will continue without a resolution for a long time.

Republicans say broadly that Congress should not authorize new funding (71%) and that the US has done enough to help Ukraine (59%). Among #Democrats, a majority say the opposite, with 62% in favor of additional funding and 61% saying America should do more.

Where New York #Democrats generally win easily, and so the Democratic establishment focuses above all on maintaining its control of the party machine and associated patronage, #Minnesota Democrats have to actually represent their constituents. It turns out when a political party has a coherent agenda that it actually tries to carry out, it can get a lot done.

The House voted 414-2 last week to maintain US sanctions on Syria despite the earthquakes that have killed thousands of Syrians in the last few weeks. AOC and the Squad voted for the measure. The only opposition came from two Republicans incl. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.

Inhumanity and lust for war mixed with the desire to be included in the team of main stream Democrats sows who these people are.

The squad is nothing but a safety valve for American public to believe in the circus the call 2 party system.

They keep people engaged and interested in supporting the Coke party that is everything the Pepsi party is not, except for foreign policy and support for never ending wars.

Watching the "Detective Knight: Redemption" and like almost every other Hollywood #movie, it makes me sick to stomach.

US is facing a wave of extreme right wing #terrorism, the country is falling apart because of the inability of the #democrats to support and back the working class Americans and what does #Hollywood come up with?

A villain who uses the talking points of progressives and (in US terms) radicals. It is really disgusting.

A group of criminals killing innocent people (in standard #Hollywood style) while the bad cops, doing their best, including committing crime going after them.

It is not a coincident, it is the norm, the standard of US media creating subliminal message to put the notion that anyone saying things against the corrupt system, is somehow worse than those criminals themselves. And they do it with the help of Bruce Willis.

Stalin would have be proud!
