âAfter bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide,â Tlaib (D-Mich.) wrote on social media. âItâs time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.â
Some of Tlaibâs colleagues echoed her demand. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) wrote that âTrump is too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes.â
â25th Amendment RIGHT NOW,â Pocan added.
âItâs time to say âenough.â Year after year, we spend more and more on our national defense â itâs too much with too little accountability. We have troops on food stamps while at the same time, price-gouging defense contractors are getting richer by the day.
Am Mittwoch brachten einige Mitglieder des Kongresses einen Gesetzesentwurf ein, der das zu tun versucht, was die israelische Ausrichtung der Medien zu verhindern sucht – die Aktivierung von gut informierter Empörung. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib und Mark Pocan brachten eine Resolution gegen den Verkauf dieser Waffen ein.
The pro-Palestinian stance of these lawmakers reached unprecedented levels on Wednesday after Reps. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Mark Pocan introduced a resolution attempting to block a $735 million arms sale to Israel â the first-ever attempt by sitting members of Congress to block such a sale.
The Biden administration notified Congress on May 5 that it approved selling Israel $735 million in weapons, mostly Boeing-made Joint Direct Attack Munitions that can turn so-called dumb bombs into precision-guided missiles.
„Though our amendment didn‘t pass, progressive power is stronger than ever. We will keep fighting for pro-peace, pro-people budgets until it becomes a reality,“ said Rep. Mark Pocan.
âThe United States has been in a state of continuous, global, open-ended military conflict since 2001. Over 2.5 million troops have fought in this âForever Warâ in over a dozen countries â including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Jordan, Niger, Somalia, and Thailand,â the pledge reads.
It continues: âI pledge to the people of the United States of America, and to our military community in particular, that I will (1) fight to reclaim Congressâs constitutional authority to conduct oversight of U.S. foreign policy and independently debate whether to authorize each new use of military force, and (2) act to bring the Forever War to a responsible and expedient conclusion.â
The lobbying campaign is possibly the first of its kind since January 2007 â when new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate were sworn in.
Congressman Mark Pocan (D-Wisc) explains to SiriusXM radio‘s Dean Obeidallah that despite Democrats winning the House on November 6 it‘s still too early to say if Nancy Pelosi will be elected speaker, noting it will be about the final seat count of the Democrats victory. (November 7, 2018 show)
âWe have 20 new people that we endorsed elected to Congress, and thereâs still a few more that are coming,â Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), the co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), said Monday at a press conference presenting the groupâs new members.
Pocan added that the CPC will have more than 90 members in the next Congress, making it the âlargest value-based caucusâ on the Hill.
