Just Foreign Policy condemns this deeply divisive & immoral move by @HouseDemocrats to name Moskowitz as top @HouseForeign Dem for Mideast
@RepMoskowitz@DWStweets@WesleyBell4MO are fringe, pro-war, Israel First voices who don't represent the views of Americans or the Dem base
Moskowitz, one of the most pro-Israel Dems, gets the ranking member slot on HFAC subcommittee for Middle East and North Africa.
Puts him in line to chair the subcommittee if Dems take the majority
Yemen, war, resistance, geopolitics...and a guest appearance by my little house sparrow companion, Pip 🐦
My recent conversation with @briebriejoy, in case you missed it:

Pay attention to the "experts" @MiddleEastInst chooses to elevate. MEI has repeatedly lent institutional credibility to propagandists pushing dubious claims about Yemen while advocating airstrikes, military offensives & renewed war.
Then look at its 2025 donors. 👇
@IbrahimJalalYE يدعي أن انصار الله جندوا مئات الآلاف من الاطفال و أن الصف الأول من جيشهم أطفال. و يضيف ان هذا يؤذي القوات التي تقاتل انصار الله نفسيا لأنهم آباء.
لم أجد اي مصادر تساند هذه الادعاءات، لكن من غير المعقول ان جيش من الاطفال هزموا قوات طارق صالح و العمالقة و استولو علي باب المندب.
Time and again, the Trump administration has abused their power to engage in a campaign of interference and destabilization in Brazil’s elections.
I led a letter with 30 colleagues urging the Trump administration to respect Brazil’s electoral process and end their pattern of interference in electoral processes in Latin America.
From Iran to Cuba, the warmongers in office can’t be trusted!
We can’t allow Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio to conduct another unlawful military operation against a sovereign nation! Congress must reconvene immediately and pass a Cuba Wars Powers Resolution.
We must keep speaking up about Cuba and pursue policies that prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and cooperation with our neighbors.
The US is intentionally harming Iranian civilians as part of their illegal war of aggression.
This is a war crime of collective punishment.
We must stop US war crimes against Iranian civilians now —
and prosecute the US officials that authorized and enabled these war crimes.
Dem leaders must pledge to force an end to the war if Dems win control of one chamber
Ending the war is the official position of virtually all Dems and is very popular across USA
Need @RepJeffries@SenSchumer@rosadelauro@PattyMurray to join @RoKhanna
I asked @RepRoKhanna: Can Democrats stop the war on Iran?
If they win control of Congress, will they use their power to limit the president’s war powers?
Answer: Cut off funding for war, just as Congress did with Vietnam.
Dems must pledge to codify an end to illegal & deeply unpopular Iran War
@SenateApprops and/or @AppropsDems will have ability to put a hold on all US govt funding next Congress
No Dem Appropriator should allow a single US tax dollar to continue this war

Murphy claims to want a deal, but preemptively attacks Trump over it — raising the political cost of peace
He also acts like it's a concession to "pay [Iran] billions" for a small fraction of US bombing damages
No one genuinely trying to end the war would say these things
Trump should cut his losses and sign any deal to end the war.
But the deal Iran is proposing - pay them billions to reopen the Strait and then start nuclear talks (so basically return to pre-war status plus a payment of billions) is proof of what a disaster this war has been.
A year ago, Israel killed 31 Yemeni journalists & media workers in a single attack. Among the other civilians killed that day were women & 5 children.
A new investigation reconstructs the massacre & traces the weapon to a U.S.-made precision-guided bomb.

The US aviation sanctions on Iran are taking their toll.
As @yarbatman and Josefine Petrick explain, this will make it harder for Iranian citizens to access medicine and medical supplies, as over 60% of Iran’s medical imports arrive by air.

Make no mistake, it would be an enormous error for Democrats to win the House and then govern right of Trump on China. We need to move beyond the harebrained impulse for confrontation.
President Trump has privately said in recent days that he thinks his first-term approach to China was “too confrontational to get results,” according to Michael Pillsbury, who talked with Trump

Allow me to introduce you to H.Con.Res.86, which directs the President to terminate the Iran war. It passed both chambers of Congress in June. congress.gov/bill/119th-cong…
They couldn't do it despite 3 U.S. presidents' military support, an international coalition, a blockade, and 11 years of war, but US-backed Saudis continue to think they can oust Yemenis from their own lands.
Saudi Arabia's top religious authority called on soldiers in the kingdom to be ready to lay down their lives to fight the Iran-backed Houthis until the group is ousted from power, a statement posted on the Saudi state news agency said reut.rs/4rwhR33

The same guy who has said our country can't afford child care or health care because we have to fund wars has spent at LEAST $43 BILLION of your tax dollars on his war with Iran.
I voted to END Trump's war with Iran—Republicans voted to keep it going.
"[N]o Palestinian election can be credible if the United States and other outside powers dictate who can take part"
Democrats must "call for allowing Palestinians to choose who runs in their elections, even though that probably means letting Hamas compete"
-@PeterBeinart
Rather letting national security interests implement another PA-style security sub-contractor in Gaza, we must ensure Palestinians actually have a say. The end-state of the genocide must be actual sovereignty and not more subjugation.
Marched in solidarity today
With members of @brooklyn4peace& @NIACouncil New York & thousands of New Yorkers who oppose a genocidal war criminal Netanyahu coming to our city.
New York opposes war with Iran
New York opposes genocide
War crimes have no place in our politics.
