CORRUPT WAR CRIMINAL NETANYAHU TO TESTIFY TO US CONGRESS! EMBRACING GENOCIDE & WAR CRIMES!

Invited by Congress, Outraged Critics Say Netanyahu 'Should Be Arrested on the Spot'

"Perhaps," said one progressive critic, the Israeli prime minister "can be arrested for his war crimes on the Senate floor."

"This is shameful, Sen. Schumer."

That was the reaction of progressive activist Cynthia Nixon on Friday after the Democratic Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate co-signed a formal letter—alongside Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and House Minority Leader Jakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)—inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress.

With global outrage over Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza at new heights and the International Criminal Court considering an arrest warrant application for the Israeli prime minister over the military campaign that many experts and humanitarians have deemed "genocidal," Nixon suggested that "[p]erhaps Netanyahu can be arrested for his war crimes on the Senate floor."

Nixon was far from alone in reacting with disgust to the decision by Schumer, who faced considerable pressure not to go through with the invitation that has been under consideration for many weeks.

Schumer, Johnson, Jeffries, and McConnell, said the Jewish-led human rights group IfNotNow, "will forever be remembered as the leaders who invited the war criminal Netanyahu to give a speech to Congress in the middle of Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza, days after he crossed President Biden's 'red line' on an invasion of Rafah."

Asked about the possibility of Netanyahu addressing Congress under the current circumstances, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said last month he would boycott the event if the invite was issued. "It's a terrible idea. No I won’t go," Sanders said. "You have a Prime Minister who has created the worst humanitarian disaster in modern history."

"Five percent of the population is now dead or wounded," Sanders said, "and 60 percent of them are women and children. Some 200,000 housing units have been completely destroyed. Every university in Gaza has been bombed. There is now imminent starvation taking place. So why you would invite somebody who has done such horrific things to the Palestinian people is something that I think is a very bad idea."

In March, Schumer vocally criticized the Netanyahu government over its treatment of Gaza in the wake of the October 7 attacks by Hamas militants.

Last month, the Forward's Jacob Kornbluh explained how the potential invite of Netanyahu "divided Democrats even when it was just a rumor." He wrote:

On the left flank of the party, critics of Israel don’t want Congress to give a platform to the prime minister, who is widely reviled for embracing right-wing extremists within his government and prosecuting a war in Gaza that has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands.

But mainstream pro-Israel Democrats don’t necessarily want to welcome him either. Many of them are also frustrated by Netanyahu, but prefer to avoid the inevitable calls to boycott the democratically elected leader of a country they otherwise support.

"I understand why Mike Johnson, Mitch McConnell and Benjman Netanyahu badly want this to happen," commentedMSNBC's Chris Hayes on Friday after the invitation was made official. "I cannot for the life of me understand why Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer think it's a good idea."

Goodbye, Mitch: You were the worst But the Republicans might find someone even worse to replace you ROBERT REICH FEB 29 Friends, He will be remembered as one of the most dangerous politicians in living memory. He helped transform the Republican Party into a cult, worshiping at the altar of authoritarianism. He’s damaged our country in ways that may take a generation to undo. No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. The politician I'm referring to is Mitch McConnell, who yesterday announced he will step down as Republican leader in November. Who’s worse — Trump or McConnell? Like Trump, McConnell hasn’t been just a garden-variety bad public official. He’s been a truly awful public official. McConnell has always put party above America. Remember when he said his most important goal as Senate leader was to make Barack Obama a one-term president? The fact that he hasn’t always kissed Trump’s backside has infuriated the former furor-in-chief. Despite his opposition to Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election — admitting publicly that Trump “provoked” the attack on the U.S. Capitol — McConnell voted to acquit Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021. So who’s worse? It’s a tough call. Trump defaced and defiled the presidency, but no person has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the U.S. government than McConnell. Remember, this is the man who refused for almost a year to allow the Senate to consider President Obama’s moderate Supreme Court pick, Merrick Garland. Then, when Trump became president, this is the man who got rid of the age-old Senate rule requiring 60 senators to agree on a Supreme Court nomination so he could ram through not one but two Supreme Court justices, including one with a likely history of sexual assault. This is the man who rushed through the Senate, without a single hearing, a $2 trillion tax cut for big corporations and wealthy Americans — a tax cut that raised the government debt by almost the same amount, generated no new investment, and failed to raise wages, but gave the stock market a temporary sugar high because most corporations used the tax savings to buy back their own shares of stock. McConnell earned the nickname “Moscow Mitch” because he has done almost everything Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump wanted him to do, except abandon Ukraine. McConnell has refused to support what’s needed for comprehensive election security, although the U.S. intelligence community says Moscow is continuing to weaponize disinformation through social media on behalf of Trump. McConnell has also blocked bipartisan background-check legislation for gun sales, even after repeated mass shootings have scarred and scared the nation. He secured a right-wing takeover of the U.S. federal court system — giving conservatives power to shape the law on the climate, reproductive rights, voting rights, and other issues affecting millions of people across the country. McConnell has consistently received low approval ratings from voters in Kentucky because he has repeatedly sacrificed Kentucky to the Republican agenda — for example, agreeing to Trump’s so-called emergency funding for a border wall, which took $63 million away from projects like a new middle school on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee. McConnell even cut funding for black lung disease suffered by Kentucky coal miners. I know from my years as labor secretary that coal mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, and the number of cases of incurable black lung disease has been on the rise. But when a group of miners took a 10-hour bus ride to Washington to ask McConnell to restore the funding, McConnell met with them for one minute and then refused to help them. Am I being too harsh on Mitch? I felt bad for him when he froze before the cameras because of some kind of seizure. I’m sure he loves his children. I met his current wife, Elaine Chao, when she was secretary of labor, and she seemed like a nice person. He’s a human being. But history will not be kind to him. Who will replace him? I’m hearing that Senators John Thune of South Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas, and John Barrasso of Wyoming will vie for the party leadership role. All three will do Trump’s bidding. All have endorsed Trump in the 2024 election in recent weeks. But Trump is more likely to want a Senate leader who’ll serve him as a fierce MAGA lapdog — someone who will further tighten Trump’s grip on the party, who’s sufficiently young and telegenic to help Trump sell his authoritarianism to the public, and so unprincipled and ambitious that he’ll flush democracy down the toilet to promote Trump and himself. Who fits the bill? Ohio’s Senator J.D. Vance. PS: Here’s a video that my colleagues at Inequality Media and I did just before the 2020 election — arguing that even if Trump were booted out of the White House, America would still be in trouble if the Senate remained in Republican hands and McConnell remained majority leader — and urging, among other things, that Georgians send two Democrats to the Senate to help flip that chamber.

Richard Ojeda DESTROYS Partisan Hack Mitch McConnell

 

Mitch McConnell has made a lengthy career putting party before country. With the news of Roe v. Wade possibly being overturned, Richard Ojeda has some words for Moscow Mitch.

In an interview with Axios, Mitch McConnell proves that he's a partisan hack. Richard Ojeda breaks it down.

After the start of the pandemic, Americans have been hit with record levels of inflation and rising gas prices. Many workers have been pushing back against major companies and demanding better wages, including the New York Amazon employees who successfully formed a union. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber to discuss America's economic landscape, the increasing support for labor unions, and the GOP effort to dismantle Medicare and Social Security.

Mitch McConnell, have you no shame?

Dear MoveOn member,

BREAKING: A Mitch McConnell Super PAC just reserved almost $70 million worth of TV ads to save his seat and keep Republicans in control of the Senate.¹

McConnell knows that Donald Trump's bungling of the coronavirus pandemic response could wipe out Republicans in November. So he's getting ready to do what he has always done: buy the election by blanketing the airwaves with lies.

Listen, even before the coronavirus pandemic, this was the most important election of our lives. American democracy simply cannot survive another four years of Trump and McConnell. But now, our democracy, our economy, and for millions of Americans in high-risk categories, our very health and survival are on the line.

We must win this election, and MoveOn and our army of online volunteers are perfectly positioned to play the decisive role this fall. Our team is already working on the tools we will need to run an entire "work from home" campaign, and we're counting on your help to make sure we have the resources to pull it off. Will you donate $3?

Yes, I'll chip in now.

Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been a disaster. But McConnell's hasn't been any better.

First, he proposed a relief bill that gave half a trillion dollars to a slush fund for corporations while giving the poorest Americans $600 or less.

Then, as the pandemic threatened to spiral completely out of control, McConnell took the weekend off, flew home to Kentucky, and joined Brett Kavanaugh at an event celebrating the confirmation of the latest unqualified, right-wing Trump judge—recklessly risking spreading the virus and delaying the congressional response to the pandemic.

Finally, last night, thanks to Democrats standing strong, the Senate passed a bill that will deliver some help to laid-off workers and frontline doctors and nurses desperately in need of medical supplies.

But with unemployment numbers soaring beyond anything since the Great Depression, it's not enough. Critical needs remain unmet, and McConnell's half-trillion-dollar slush fund could allow corporations to waste desperately needed money.

We will never beat McConnell's Super PACs dollar for dollar, but we don't have to. MoveOn has proven time and again that our army of volunteers, armed with the most cutting-edge campaign technology, can beat their dishonest campaign ads.

Because much of the country may still be under lockdown orders this summer and fall, campaigns will not be able to organize in-person events or canvass door to door as we have in the past. But no one has more experience and success leveraging the power of the internet to contact voters, mobilize volunteers, and win than MoveOn.

Together, we can stand up to McConnell's massive Super PACs and win, but social distancing means we need to be prepared to create an entirely new campaign plan with "work from home" voter contact strategies and get-out-the-vote tactics. Will you donate $3 to help ditch Mitch and dump Trump?

Yes, I'll donate now.

Thanks for all you do.

–Kelly, Eric, Kate, Justin, and the rest of the team
