  Which vote? Which bill?

    She voted to continue funding the Iron Dome which enables Pissrael’s genocidal aggression against its neighbors and the rightful inhabitants of the land it occupies, at the expense of my tax dollars.

    I don’t know which specific bill that was.

      It’s cool fam, I gotchu

      In 2021, she voted “Present” on a $1bn supplemental funding bill for the iron dome

      In 2025, she voted against MTG’s proposed amendment to cut $500m in defense spending to Israel, arguing that it didn’t go far enough and they needed to add offensive spending as well as defensive. She ultimately voted against the full bill (a vote AGAINST funding the Iron Dome)

      In 2026 she pledged to vote against all future military funding of Israel.

      Doesn’t look much like a friend of Israel or a genocide collaborator to me. Stop doing Woke 1.0.

        What in the liberal mental gymnastics—

        She voted “AGAINST funding the Iron Dome” by voting against a bill that would’ve cut funding, because it “didn’t go far enough”, so instead she opted to do… nothing?

        Did you even read your own sources? Because you’re drawing a conclusion which is the exact opposite of what actually happened - she voted AGAINST cutting the funding for the Iron Dome, whatever her lame lib rhetoric for doing so was.
