We need an investigation about what Biden officials knew โ€” and when Neither Netanyahu nor McGurk can be trusted about what they knew in advance about October 7 attacks As even Hillary Clinton noted, Netanyahu stood to gain from October 7 attacks โ€” as did US neocons like McGurk
"Egypt had warned the Israelis 3 days prior" A few days after Oct. 7, members of Congress including Rep. McCaul were already stating publicly that the US knew that Egypt warned Israel. How and when did US become aware that Egypt had warned Israel?

Thank you for asking this important question, Dr. Sheline!
On what basis is he an expert, @CoryBooker? ๐Ÿ’ฐHe's an expert in self enrichment ๐Ÿ‘‰ Specifically AI & weapons tech in Tel Aviv & Abu Dhabi ๐Ÿ“ข He's an expert in self promotion ๐Ÿ‘‰He presents himself as a tireless advocate for Israeli hostages, ignoring that Hamas offered to return all hostages within days of 10/7 ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ชHe's an expert in pursuing a U.S. foreign policy guided by the interests of Israel and the UAE ๐Ÿ‘‰ But not guided by American interests.

Intelligence about the planned horrors of 10/7 didnโ€™t reach DC, Biden aides say. But they & lawmakers say that raises questions about US-Israel ties โ€” and former US officials say the Biden admin missed repeated warnings of rising risks + Isr views of Hamas washingtonsun.com/foreign-poโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s inspiring to work with Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and Republicans in support of #DefendTheGuard legislation to: โœ… Uphold the Constitution โœ… Protect the National Guard โœ… Save Peopleโ€™s Lives around the World ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐ŸŒ โ˜ฎ๏ธ
Replying to @TroopsHomeUS
And thank you to coauthor @iefrantz, Director of @theactioncorps, whose assistance on @DefendTheGuard has been invaluable in Vermont and among our progressive allies.

One person shouldnโ€™t be able to take the country to war and keep us in it. Gov. Howard Dean, former chair of @DNC & Gov. Arne Carlson, former Republican gov of Minnesota, joined me in writing this @USATODAY opinion article. #VTpoli
This is what the establishment uni-party fears most. A coalition spanning the entire political spectrum, all agreeing that no president, regardless of name or party, gets to take this nation to war on his own and drag our state National Guard troops into spilling blood and treasure for foreign wars. This is the existential fight for our nation.

The Vermont National Guard was in harmโ€™s way on front lines in Iran War, said Vermont Commander Maj. Gen. Hank Harder. VT legislature chair Matt Birong refused to hear #DefendTheGuard bill that would have prohibited deployment to such undeclared wars. wcax.com/2026/10/02/guard-coโ€ฆ

Strange. I donโ€™t remember Congress ever voting to participate in this war. In fact, didnโ€™t Congress vote to direct President Trump, during his first term, to STOP participation in this war? #WarPowers
US reveals deepening role in Yemen War: US is "providing aerial refueling for Saudi warplanes" and "200 U.S. intelligence and military analysts" are inside Saudi "command centers" to "select targets" for bombing (Under pressure from Congress, Trump ended refueling back in 2018)

Vermont stood up to National Guard militarization before.ย  1980s: Gov Kunin disputed our overseas Guard deployment. Now former VT Gov Howard Dean and MN Gov Carlson & our VT-based National Director @iefrantz make the case for #DefendTheGuard legislation. #VTpoli #MadeleineKunin
Today in @USATODAY Howard Dean (former VT gov & @DNC chair), Arne Carlson (former R gov of MN) & I ask: What responsibility do states have when National Guard members are sent into combat without Congress authorizing the war? Our article: usatoday.com/story/opinion/2โ€ฆ #DefendTheGuard

...the Trump administration is wasting both financial and human resources on a continuing war that was never approved by Congress. The real tragedy is that guard members are risking their lives because of presidential overreach.

Another example of the Dems trying to out-hawk Trump, who has thus far avoided bogging down the U.S. military in Yemen
Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks met with Dr. Abdullah Al-Alimi Bawazir, member of the Presidential Leadership Council; Ambassador Jamila Ali Raja, Ambassador to the United States; and other Republic of Yemen officialsย on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly High Level Week. Ranking Member Meeks expressed concern over attacks by Houthi militants in Yemen and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and with rising tensions in the region amid the ongoing war in Iran. The leaders discussed how the United States Congress can support Yemenโ€™s government against the Houthis, including through security and humanitarian assistance, and they agreed on the need for revitalized dialogue and diplomacy among the governments of Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the United States to reduce tensions and find a durable solution to the conflict. Ranking Member Meeks reiterated that only a comprehensive political settlement can fully address Yemenโ€™s multi-faceted conflict.

I agree with Bernie. And: The @NYCMayor needs to stop cherry-picking genocides. @ZohranKMamdani should stop helping #UAE sportswash #Sudan genocide. We need his voice for humanity.
An @ActionCorpsVT activist asked @SenSanders on 8/20 to tell @NYCMayor: โ€œStop wearing those [UAE] logos. It's not cool. And speak out about what's going on in Sudan, the role of the Emirates'." @BernieSanders: โ€œWhen I talk to the mayor, I will mention your comments."
