“On October 13, the Biden administration told Prime Minister Netanyahu that his government had 30 days to increase humanitarian aid into Gaza or face the consequences under US law, which would include cutting off military assistance,” the Massachusetts senator said in a statement shared with the Guardian.

For the first time on the issue, Warren threw her weight behind a joint resolution of disapproval, a legislative tool that enables Congress to overturn actions taken by the executive branch. Such a resolution must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

She added: “The failure by the Biden administration to follow US law and to suspend arms shipments is a grave mistake that undermines American credibility worldwide. If this administration will not act, Congress must step up to enforce US law and hold the Netanyahu government accountable through a joint resolution of disapproval.”

    Definitely criticized them during the election but always made sure to say who I am voting for. As the only thing I really didn’t like was genocide (obv) and parading the Chaneys like that was going to help. But I remember arguing with a certain monk who seems to have disappeared about third parties being bad in our system.

          Ah, much appreciated; that doesn’t show up on my app. Man, I wish the experience weren’t so inconsistent between desktop and mobile. (Also good riddance.)
