The only Squad member to deign to explain to voters why they voted YES on this massive war package was @CoriBush. While she deserves credit for that, look at what she admitted about this bill! Feel free to read her full statement why she voted YES anyway. https://t.co/HXQdvMRk81 https://t.co/S46jOgxE06 — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever your views, one can't overstate how serious and dangerous this is. For decades, we were told: nothing is more dangerous than a war between the nations with the two largest nuclear stockpiles. Dems now say *we're at war*. It demands explanation: https://t.co/dNwbZVkLoa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even the NYT -- loyally supportive of the Dem establishment and war policies -- lambasted House members for meek submission, being too scared to challenge or scrutinize the Biden war policy. Just 10 weeks into this war, they have already authorized $54 billion, no questions asked https://t.co/YY1jPKpzrp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Then we have the revolutionary and subversive @AOC. Literally every statement she's ever made about war, militarism, military spending and government priorities is in violent contradiction to her YES vote. She won't bother to explain her vote. She knows her followers won't ask. https://t.co/uGqC9fjwY9 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even more amazing: this statement from the House Progressive Caucus, from co-chairs @RepBarbaraLee and @PramilaJayapal. They warned against a "flood of hundreds of millions of dollars in lethal weapons." But Tuesday, they voted for *$40 billion*. Why? https://t.co/5xRdIpjXLA https://t.co/MWoozqg2f5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just 2 months, @IlhanMN correctly warned, on March 8, that it would be "likely disastrous" for the US to pour money and weapons into Ukraine. @RoKhanna told @DemocracyNow on Feb. 8 he opposed sending lethal arms. Both just voted to send $40b to Raytheon, Lockheed and CIA. Why? https://t.co/hE86C1ZrnU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Many Dems voting YES on this gigantic and largely unprecedented war bill have long denounced exactly these sorts of bills, and even *very recently* warned against pouring billions of money and weapons into Ukraine. What happened? And why won't they explain their votes? — PolitiTweet.org

@scubas84 @NButkis51 If these were mere benign research labs, why would Nuland be so frightened that they would "fall into Russian hands," given that Russia has far more advanced and sophisticated biological and chemical research programs than Ukraine? What's so dangerous about them? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scubas84 @NButkis51 RUBIO: "Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?" NULAND: "Ukraine has biological research facilities which we are, in fact, now quite concerned Russian troops -- Russian forces -- may be seeking to gain control of...." https://t.co/4wVtbqoX3J — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That said, it remains indisputable fact - no matter how much you wish it weren't true - that Donald Trump remains the only US president in decades not to involve the US in a new war. He was no pacifist - he radically escalated extant bombing campaigns -- but it's still a fact.🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps when you have a political leadership almost uniformly in their late 70s and 80s, they become a tad more reckless -- borderline-indifferent -- about pursuing wars that could end humanity? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If there's a bigger story than the 82-year-old senior House Democrat, now in his 20th term in Congress, today announcing that the US is at war with Russia, I'd like to know what it is? — PolitiTweet.org

@CalafiaOfRoot I spent 30 minutes yesterday discussing and denouncing the fatal shooting of Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank, beyond my multiple tweets about it. I would never think to compare such a horrific event to Joe Rogan's plight because that's moronic.👍 https://t.co/MbEYX5S7JF — PolitiTweet.org

(If you're a left-liberal media personality who built your identity and revenue stream around the Squad (you know who you are): If you don't mention to your followers and listeners that all members of the Squad voted for this $40b war package, it means it never happened. 👍 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Presumably, when Hoyer says "we're at war," he means: the United States is now at war with Russia, which seems like a pretty big deal to me, given that these two countries possess the planet's largest nuclear stockpiles. — PolitiTweet.org

"We're at war!" -- Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, today: https://t.co/OJi8elHcao — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jch6289 Yes, the people who voted for the Iraq War and the NATO bombing of Libya totally believe that "unprovoked invasions are wrong." It's like a religious principle to them. But you're right: the goal is to sacrifice Ukraine to drag out the war as long as possible to weaken Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ColumbiaBugle Of course not. Scalise voted for the $40b war package. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@GQPLeader @ThinkRealist @Khun_Roger @ColumbiaBugle LOL. If "we are in a time of war" anytime there's a war somewhere on the planet, then the phrase has literally no meaning since there's always a war raging on the planet. Everyone knows exactly what he means, including about why we shouldn't criticize Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Apparently -- according to Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer -- we are "in a time of war," which makes criticism of our President "unfortunate." I didn't realize the US was at war (OK, I did), but even so, that's not actually a reason to refrain from criticizing Joe Biden: — PolitiTweet.org

@drinkwaterjoh @tergives I did respond to Bush's statement earlier today, right on this platform. — PolitiTweet.org

@Khun_Roger @ColumbiaBugle I believe it. I just want to see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NButkis51 I wasn't the one who said there were dangerous bio research facilities in Ukraine that they were desperately trying to keep from falling into Russian hands. That was your beloved neocon State Dept official, Victoria Nuland, who said that. — PolitiTweet.org
