In June, Democrats on the House Armed Service Committee all voted (with one exception plus Khanna), along with Republicans, to reject an amendment put forward by Ro Khanna to strip the integration from the NDAA.

You read that right.

What you are referring to as Democrats blocking the integration is actually a vote to block debate on the NDAA, preventing it from advancing. The Democrats' rationale was that the NDAA would givce a "permission slip" for Trump to continue the Iran war without Congressional oversight. It was NOT a rejection of the integration, per se.

It remains to be seen how Democratic leadership deals with that in the future and certainly deserves close scrutiny. Glad you brought it forward.

I'm just flabbergasted and disgusted that at this point in time, with Israel out of control and committing all kinds of war crimes, the US is trying to wed itself closer to Israel and make what looks like a joint military system. What happened to American independence? Is Israel our 51st state?

Of course Republicans are so warped at this point I guess they think this is great-- but Dems have to care and stand up for American values.

There's a poison pill in the bill supposedly that gives the regime a backdoor to restricted voters' rights.

Not all bills contain them either. Just to clarify. ❤️

for supporting Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

This is certainly a good opportunity for the Ds to take a stand ...
