Rep. Ilhan Omar
@IlhanApr 15
Today marks the 3rd year of the Sudan civil war and genocide. Tens of thousands have been killed. Hundreds of thousands have starved. Millions have been displaced. The UAE and arms dealers to the RSF and RSF-aligned militias must be held accountable.

Chuck Schumer was one of 7 Senate Democrats to vote to send bulldozers to Israel. 40 Democratic Senators voted no. Mr. Schumer, you are out of touch with our base and the nation. Step aside.

Staunchly pro-Israel Democrats repeatedly argued colleagues should not hold votes on military aid for Tel Aviv, arguing that would “split the caucus.” Now those supporting unconditional weaponry (notably Schumer) are the clear minority — a new unified position is arguably found.

This is part of a larger trend of governments - including the Trump administration - trying to censor journalists reporting on the realities of this war. Ahmed Shihab-Eldin must be released immediately.

The US spent $28.7 billion during the first two weeks of the Iran War — $2.1 billion per day. This may be a higher estimate than you've seen elsewhere. Those estimates are too low. This one could be too. See my methodology and full analysis linked below.
US spends $2.1 billion a day on the Iran War. Estimated US war costs, 28 February–13 March 2026. Table format: Expense; Description; Cost. Rows: Operations; Mobilization, administration, combat; $4.25 billion. Weapons; Missiles, interceptors, bombs, other; $20.77 billion. Losses; Damaged or destroyed military assets; $2.71 billion. Subsidies; Pay for Israel’s bombs, interceptors; $1.01 billion. Total; Cost of the first two weeks of the Iran War; $28.74 billion. Average cost per day: $2.05 billion. Estimated direct costs based on author’s analysis of officials’ statements, procurement and O&S data, open-source intelligence, media reports. Figures subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Israeli authorities confess they are singling out the Shi'ite Lebanese population for destruction. This is textbook ethnic cleansing, described as "Israel's message" by the @nytimes.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance. Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

This is apartheid, plain and simple. Palestinian prisoners already experience injustice in Israeli military courts, torture in Israeli prisons, and now executions legalized by the Israeli government. No more genocide and no more ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

@MondoweissMar 30
BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

A very late but still positive move by Germany. All other countries should do the same—most importantly the United States, which is Israel’s largest arms supplier. For more see @CIPolicy’s report on how US aid and arms enable Israel’s atrocities in Gaza: internationalpolicy.org/publ…

Replying to @theintercept @JordanUhl
Much of Elon Musk's current wealth is based on market projections of his future under Trump. But if 41 senators use the filibuster to block taxpayer funding for SpaceX, Musk's wealth will fall by a lot. Read more on our @FreedomForward campaign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
