This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

Amazon paid $40 MILLION for the rights to the Melania documentary—$26 million over the next highest bidder. Why'd they overpay? Maybe because Amazon wants Trump to hand over a bunch of special favors. Was the Melania movie one big bribe? We deserve answers.
