🎖️NEW WAR POWERS RECORD 🎖️

47 Republicans voted for the Syria war powers resolution led by @RepMattGaetz — the largest number of @HouseGOP to vote for a WPR in history!

56 @HouseDemocrats put principles over politics to join them (👏👏👏)

Up Next: @RepBowman Syria NDAA Amdt #3 Image If @RepBowman can regain the level of D support from his 2022 amendment;

AND maintain the level of R support from @RepMattGaetz WPR;

We'll be within striking distance of passing a law to bring one of America's many unauthorized forever wars to an end!

Grateful for @USProgressives' efforts to reign in endless war!

Last July, @RepBowman's vote got 155 votes — including @RepJeffries & most @HouseDemocrats — as well as 25 Republicans.

We're hopeful that @RepMattGaetz's WPR will spur more @HouseGOP to oppose endless war in Syria!

As the @FreedomCaucus battles @HouseGOP, a longtime priority for the left could stand to gain:

*Restoring Congress's role over war & military action*

"A disagreement has emerged at the highest levels" of US govt.

With @AOC & the Squad behind them, @thejointstaff can help Ukraine & @POTUS secure a "just peace" that will save lives and allow desperately needed post-war reconstruction to begin.

nytimes.com/2022/11/10/us/… We stand with @AOC!

@NYTimes:

...some on the left continue to push for talks. “I believe that progressives have always advocated to leaning on diplomatic solutions,” [@AOC told @RyanGrim of @TheIntercept] this week.

“We should continue to lean on that.”

JUST OUT: Devastating on-the-ground report by @nimaelbagir @TheLeadCNN shows:

-US-backed Saudi blockade on Yemen is causing the starvation of hundreds of thousands of children.

-Biden Yemen envoy Lenderking accused of hiding the truth about impact of US policy

#YemenCantWait @nimaelbagir: "He says the US is committed to push the parties towards peace."

"How is that possible when you are not acknowledging the full impact of that US-backed Saudi embargo on the people of Yemen?”

@jaketapper: "Just infuriating [...] there need to be solutions NOW."

*HISTORIC WIN ON YEMEN*

Biden will announce an end to U.S. participation in offensive operations in the Saudi-led war on Yemen, per @JakeSullivan46

Advocates will need to ensure that this includes all unconstitutional support for the war.

Timeline of 6 years of advocacy below: Weeks after the US joined the war, @RepDebDingell @RepJohnConyers began work on an NDAA amendment urging the US to evacuate Yemeni-Americans, faulting the "airstrikes conducted by Saudi Arabia and a no-fly zone imposed over Yemen by Saudi Arabia"
