Good morning. May I show you something truly amazing? Look at what @CoriBush admits about the $40b war package she -- and the entire Squad -- just voted for: "a large percentage" goes not to Ukraine but "to private defense contractors," with "increased risks of direct war."
To see her justifications for why she nonetheless voted YES, see the full statement, if you can discern a rationale.
At least she said something, unlike the other 5 Squad members who said nothing, despite requests, which I'll post if we receive anything:
The silence from the Squad about why they voted YES on a huge war package for Raytheon and CIA -- exactly what they have spent years denouncing -- is exceeded only by the utter silence of the sector of the left-media that branded and enriched itself by tying itself to the Squad.
The discussion I had with @qaomene on our @getcallin podcast yesterday about the Squad's unanimous vote for this $40b war package, along with our discussion of the fatal shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank, can be heard here:
Good! This is what @RandPaul should be doing. It's what the Squad and "progressive" members of Congress should have done. I'm hearing that some GOP Senators are now wavering because of growing anger from their constituents. Sadly, no Senate Dems are:
One can believe the invasion itself should be seen through an unambiguous moral prism: all Russia's fault, the US played no role, etc. That's rational.
That does not mean one should uncritically cheer the US radically escalating its role in its most dangerous war in decades.
Go look at what your favorite left media stars on YT, Twitter and Twitch have spent the last 48 hours yapping about in order to desperately avoid discussing the fact that the entire Squad just voted for this $40 billion war package to Raytheon, Lockheed and CIA. It's amazing.

Last night @elonmusk vowed to honor the endless, repressive and due-process-free censorship orders from Brazil's Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
The Judge has banned various journalists and members of Congress, among others, from social media.
This would be a huge deal for Brazil:
Rumble last year also announced that it would refuse to comply. The platform was expending huge resources to constantly take down videos and ban users upon the endless, lawless orders of a single job.
Amazingly, Rumble is no longer available to anyone in Brazil, getting this:
In January of last year, we obtained one of the secret orders Judge Moraes issues to platforms. This one banned Senators, Congress members and journalists, and mandated secrecy.
No due process. We reported it here. Hard to overstate how extreme it is:
UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.
US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.
Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.
They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.
How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!
Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
