Prominent far-left senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren called on the U.S. to restrict aid to Israel, sparking outrage from the Republican Jewish Coalition, who slammed Warren’s comments as “disgusting.” Speaking at a virtual conference hosted by the leftwing J Street, Warren said: “We should talk about the elephant in the room: America’s military assistance to Israel. I said earlier that I am committed to Israel’s security and I am; I support military assistance to Israel. But if we’re serious about arresting settlement expansion and helping move the parties toward a two-state solution, then it would be irresponsible not to consider all of the tools we have at our disposal.” “One of those is restricting military aid from being used in the occupied territories. By continuing to provide military aid without restriction, we provide no incentive for Israel to adjust course,” she added.

Cawthorn Decries ‘Joe Biden Washingtonians’ Lack of Transparency — ‘We Have Got to Take the Majority Away from These Bastards’
Monday on Newsmax TV’s “Greg Kelly Reports,” Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) sounded off on the lack of transparency from Democrats, who have control of the levers of power in Washington, D.C. Cawthorn was asked about the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt on the Capitol grounds on the day of the January 6 incident and why details have not been more forthcoming.

I know some people were offended by some mean tweets by President Trump, but at least we knew what the man was thinking. At least we knew what our government was doing for us. Right now, even me as a member of Congress — with all the rights and privileges that gives me, I can hardly get any answers. So, I can only imagine … [Read more...] about Cawthorn Decries ‘Joe Biden Washingtonians’ Lack of Transparency — ‘We Have Got to Take the Majority Away from These Bastards’
EPA staff warned of factual, legal issues in Trump vehicle climate rollback, watchdog says
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) staff warned of factual and legal issues in a Trump administration joint vehicle climate rollback issued with a Department of Transportation agency, an internal government watchdog said. A report from the office of the EPA’s inspector general raised the concerns about the interagency collaboration between the EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in a new report issued on Tuesday. The report said that EPA technical staff told leadership that they hadn’t seen about 650 pages of the 1,000-page rule before it was sent to the White House for review because of a “lack of interagency collaboration at the technical level.” ADVERTISEMENT The rule, which was primarily put together by NHTSA, had “numerous errors and inaccuracies” when it was submitted for interagency review, the inspector general said, citing comments by the EPA.
