The two holdouts, Sens. Maggie Hassan and Richard Blumenthal, have canceled meetings with activists and favored their districts’ weapons manufacturers.
I don’t believe anything coming out of Congress. It’s pure theater. The Democrats ruined themselves with the Genocide. The wealthy own the empire and the empire owns/controls Congress. My Rep Strickland got $145,000 from AIPAC, and over a thousand each from Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Spacex. My Sen Cantwell got $219,000 from AIPAC. Who do they represent? They’re just yanking our chain. This corruption is a huge problem! The wealthy are scared of a collapsing dollar, BRICS, and the PEOPLE! That’s why we’ve been “gifted” with the authoritarian Trump.
Well said. And the Democratic Party operatives that did this are hiding what they did with as much commitment as Trump is committed to hiding his actions with Epstein.
Biden started dancing with the devil as a Senator. Open Secrets shows him as the #1 beneficiary of AIPAC bribery money, and Israel called the favor in. We as the USA took second priority to the government of Israel by a pack of bribe takers in both parties.
absolutely. i think at least 90% of the senate dems that did vote for Bernie's jrd are pulling the old pelosi trick. they vote in favor knowing that a handful on their side of the aisle and the republicans will make sure it won't pass anyways.
the proof is in the pudding. of the senators that voted with Bernie, how many will *no longer* receive aipac donations? if the money keeps flowing, then we know its all theater and if their votes ever do matter on future legislation, they certainly won't stand in the way of their precious military colony.
My WA Congressman Adam Smith is the largest aipac recipient in the WA congressional (house) delegation. And both WA senators have received half a million dollars each from aipac according to track aipac. I call and email their offices regularly. Their staffs answer by the way!! Not like east coast reps.
Sens. Maggie Hassan and Richard Blumenthal are part of the gang breaking the bounds of international law and ethics that has been built over the centuries to lift the human race out of savagery. Now that they have created a normally of genocide and human rights violations such as bombing civilians, using starvation as a weapon, destroying a health care system and killing journalists and unhumanitarian workers all with impunity restoring international law and ethics might be irretrievable.
The zionist are everywhere here in the USA turning our once democratic republic into a fascist ethno judeochristian white supremist state....now the zionist oligarchs will stifle free expression of Palestian rights via ownership of TocTok. The zionists here and abroad need to face our push back now.....or it will be too late dear comrades. We must fight tyranny to the death like our colonial brothers and sisters did to King George. King Trump needs to be stopped.
Democrats backing a land grab and a genocide cost them 11-12 million votes from Dems who supported Biden in 2020, before he started labeling their rejection of Nazism as "antisemitic," caused a major drop in approval rating of their Party below 30%, and produced our current president & his gangster takeover of our nation. Hassan and Blumenthal are the kind of Democrats who are Elephants in Donkey suits. A pox on all such "Democrats" !! I won't be a supporter of any party that supports Nazis.
This piece lays bare the moral bankruptcy of elected officials who cloak complicity in euphemisms like “concern” and “support for press freedom” while funding and enabling the machinery of mass death. Hassan’s silence in the face of journalist assassinations—after years of cozying up to weapons manufacturers and Netanyahu—should haunt every voter who still believes in democratic accountability. Blumenthal’s posture is no better: vague gestures toward “peace” while greenlighting arms deals that fuel settler violence and collective punishment. The courage of organizers like Karina Quintans and Nabila Alqadumi stands in stark contrast to the cowardice of those in power. If we want change, we must make their silence politically unsustainable.
As long as we're on the subject of pro-genocide Senators, I'd like to see a report on California's two Democratic senators, Schiff and Padilla. They both vote for any pro-Israel legislation that comes along. I have informed them both that as long as they support the slaughter of Palestinians, they have lost my vote. I don't care how much I may agree with them on other issues, Crimes Against Humanity is a deal breaker.
It's a great time for them to have some competition in the Primary election. If they don't have a moral compass, they definitely have a "how to remain in power" compass.
Of course we want to support Israel as the only democratic country in the mid-east.
Not any more. They have become a parriah nation knowingly committing genocide of Palestinians who are not Hamas. Starvation, ruin and displacement are not Jewish goals, nor are they Jewish beliefs. Netanyahu is wrong on every count.
Israel is not now and has never been a democracy - it's a jewish supremacist state, formally codified in 2018. Israel's been declared an apartheid state by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, among others.
Is it true that the genocide in Gaza would not be possible without American military and political support? Yes, it’s true. Is it also true that Senators Blumenthal and Murphy have chosen not to speak out against the genocide? Yes it’s also true. Why should we support senators who choose silence in response to the most vicious cruelty to any group of people since the holocaust? We shouldn’t.
Well don't Hassan and Blumenthal make for a pretty nauseating pair...? Not that the others have been all that far ahead of them, taking until relatively recently for them to call a spade a Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer for the IDF to bring down Palestinian residences. The two get approximately the same amounts of campaign donations from AIPAC and J Street PAC. And evidently (obviously?) they have the scripts for the press releases either written by or vetted by AIPAC. Disgusting.
Haven't checked, are both, either, vulnerable in 2026? Doesn't appear to be so given their head-in-the-sand (also up-the-a**) dealings with their constituency (well, the human ones, not the corporate).
So New Hampshire and Connecticut voters are worrisome that these two should muster more than what, 5, 10% of the vote, i.e. number working in the "defense" industry in their respective states? The rest of the electorate needn't be so soulless as to vote for them.
Maine a worry too, they should have sent Collins off to the cannery (I think they're all closed in Maine now, but send her there anyway) last time around, they failed to do so, apparently because she delivered for the state, putting aside all her triangulation, equivocating, stalling, playing it safe, and of course flip-flopping. That's the kind of representative of the people you want in office.
Oh, back to Richard Blumenthal for a sec. Wouldn't it be great to sic Max on him?
The thing that I am wondering is, are they following the wishes of the people who voted for them?
Who in their community agrees with refusing to speak to those who voted for them?
They are there because the community voted for them. IF the election were tomorrow?
I wonder why they feel so secure about keeping the job the majority voted for. First and foremost, they HAVE to take meetings. The represent. If the job title does fit? Should they have the job?

Absolutely the democrats did this. Biden started this by kissing the devil. Trump is just the next patsy.

Sens. Maggie Hassan and Richard Blumenthal are examples of the power of zionist money and favors to corrupt the morals of US politicians.

Quite unbelievable but it is now sadly Trumpistanism where greed rules over morality & humane decency.

These two have lost all credibility. Resign and let us move on.

Both senators are less than irrelevant, less than intelligent, shall we say? and bought by the highest bidders.
Heartbreaking. Maddening. New England values are not being represented.
