Senator Fetterman: Shut Down Congress, Not Funding for Israel's War
Fetterman's newfound zeal for procedural demolition to keep the lights on domestically is quite the spectacle, especially considering his steadfast support for continuous military expenditures. This isn't about governing; it’s about ensuring the war machine doesn't miss a beat. For instance, while railing against government shutdowns, Senator Fetterman voted for HR 815, a $95 billion foreign aid
package primarily benefiting Israel's ongoing campaign in Gaza. One might wonder if the same urgency to 'nuke' the filibuster applies to healthcare, infrastructure, or—heaven forbid—ending our role in funding wars. It appears domestic crises are merely inconvenient interruptions to the business of projecting power abroad. How many times must Congress nearly immolate itself over its own budget,
only to swiftly approve more billions for foreign militaries? Prioritizing perpetual war over preventing internal collapse is a curious definition of leadership.
