Good morning. May I show you something truly amazing? Look at what @CoriBush admits about the $40b war package she -- and the entire Squad -- just voted for: "a large percentage" goes not to Ukraine but "to private defense contractors," with "increased risks of direct war."

To see her justifications for why she nonetheless voted YES, see the full statement, if you can discern a rationale.

At least she said something, unlike the other 5 Squad members who said nothing, despite requests, which I'll post if we receive anything:

The silence from the Squad about why they voted YES on a huge war package for Raytheon and CIA -- exactly what they have spent years denouncing -- is exceeded only by the utter silence of the sector of the left-media that branded and enriched itself by tying itself to the Squad.

The discussion I had with @qaomene on our @getcallin podcast yesterday about the Squad's unanimous vote for this $40b war package, along with our discussion of the fatal shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank, can be heard here:

Good! This is what @RandPaul should be doing. It's what the Squad and "progressive" members of Congress should have done. I'm hearing that some GOP Senators are now wavering because of growing anger from their constituents. Sadly, no Senate Dems are:

One can believe the invasion itself should be seen through an unambiguous moral prism: all Russia's fault, the US played no role, etc. That's rational.

That does not mean one should uncritically cheer the US radically escalating its role in its most dangerous war in decades.

Go look at what your favorite left media stars on YT, Twitter and Twitch have spent the last 48 hours yapping about in order to desperately avoid discussing the fact that the entire Squad just voted for this $40 billion war package to Raytheon, Lockheed and CIA. It's amazing.
