CW: USPol / US politics
So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it.
Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months.
The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves.
Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well.
[1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use.

Why should a failure to block something amount to a tacit approval? To me, that is an argument from silence, a fallacy, and this war of choice in Iran remains unauthorized by Congress (see https://reason.com/2026/04/16/congress-declines-again-to-rein-in-trumps-iran-war/). Even more ludicrous is why Congress—who decides on which wars to wage—requires a two-thirds majority to overrule a president's veto on a war powers resolution (see INS v. Chadha).

#HouseGOP Working to Push Through Bill That Would Let #Trump Shut Down #Nonprofits
#DemocracyNow, November 18, 2024
"On Capitol Hill, House #Republicans [and some #Democrats] are attempting once again to ram through #HR9495, a bill that would allow Trump and future presidents to effectively shut down nonprofits by labeling them a '#terrorist-supporting organization.' The measure could target #HumanitarianAid groups, #news outlets, #schools and countless #CivilSociety organizations. #Congress failed to fast-track the bill last week, falling short of a required two-thirds majority despite dozens of Democrats voting in favor along with Republicans. But the next vote, which could happen this week, would likely only require a simple majority.
"A coalition of groups said in a statement, 'This bill was designed to #criminalize organizations and #activists who oppose the U.S.'s unconditional support of #Israel's #genocide of #Palestinians and the slaughter of #LebaneseCivilians.' Signatories to the statement included the Council on American-Islamic Relations and #AmericanMuslimsForPalestine. #Oxfam criticized the bill, saying Trump could use it to silence and censor critics, curb free speech and target political opponents."

Les dépités US ont voté pour suspendre l'aide étasunienne à l' #UNWRA pendant 1 an, jusqu'en mars 2025.
Alors même que les pays qui avaient dans un 1er temps suspendu leur contribution après les accusations d'Israël, ont repris les versements devant l'absence de preuves données par le gouvernement d'extrême-droite de #Netanyahu.Israël estime qu'elle n'a pas à apporter de preuves puisqu'elle est une démocratie alliée, que sa parole suffit et qu'exiger d'elle qu'elle prouve ses allégations relève de l'acharnement anti-israélien.
_____The House of Representatives voted on Friday to defund the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians through next year — even as 1.1 million people in Gaza face threats of famine in coming months — on the basis of flimsy allegations by Israel against a tiny minority of the agency’s staff that have yet to be proven.
Just last week, the European Union’s top humanitarian aid official said he has still not seen evidence from Israel to back its accusations — nearly two months after they were made.
