Dang, Mitch just took a poke at his own republicans.   


"...#US #Senate passes $95bn package of aid for #Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan

"History settles every account," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said in a statement following the vote. "And today, on the value of #American leadership and strength, history will record that the Senate did not blink."..."

"..Here's what we're reading today:

The US Senate has just passed the $95.3 billion package of aid for #Ukraine and #Israel by 70 to 22 votes.

The GOP House speaker pledged to block the bill, but a significant number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers support it, making the path forward uncertain.."

"..So Israel has still not provided concrete evidence that 8 UNRWA staff members (over 30000) participated in Hamas led October 7th attacks, and that was enough for several countries including the US to cut funding to UNRWA, but the fact that the Israeli army killed 154 UNRWA staff didn't create any reactions. #Gaza
UNRWA’s Demise Would Be Catastrophic for Gaza.."

"..The biggest challenge in 2024 is to get enough people to actually listen to what Trump and those around him are openly, consistently, and explicitly promising to do once they get back to power.

It is utterly deranged, and discounting it as just rhetoric would be a disaster.."

There are more indications of Republicans dissatisfied with zero progress reaching accord with Dems to circumvent the Speaker.

As far as listening to Trump....attacking NATO  countries because of funding issues should do the trick, unless one is insane of course.
   Insane people have a different agenda.

It's interesting that Trump, who did not pay his contractors when they worked on the Taj Mahal and many others, would have the audacity to say this. Blows my mind. He needs to apply that logic to himself.

"...“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed … This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953..."

"..Italian singer Ghali said "Stop the Genocide" during a music festival seen by over 13 mil people.

The Israeli ambassador complained about his "shameful message of hate" and that Ghali "should not have used the stage to say such 'provocative' things."

Ghali's response was clear: "What the ambassador said is awful. He's adding to the politics of terror where Italians are afraid they might lose their jobs, their reputations if they say 'Long Live Peace," which is absurd.".."

"..Another robotic mission to the moon is set to launch this week.

Intuitive Machines, in collaboration with NASA, will launch its Nova-C lander, named Odysseus, which will land near the lunar south pole. IM-1 is the first of 3 missions scheduled this year.

Launch will take place at 12:57 a.m. ET Feb. 14 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from KSC. Landing will occur 9 days later.

If successful, this will be the first American commercial landing on the moon.."
