AIPAC Is ‘Toxic’: Top Senator Calls on Dems To Stop Taking Money From the Pro-Israel Lobby
After the first round of US-Iranian peace talks in Pakistan collapsed last weekend, Vice President JD Vance is expected to return to the negotiating table in the coming days as the April 22nd ceasefire expiration date looms. Vermont Democratic Senator Peter Welch, a co-sponsor of the Justice for Hind Rajab Act, has been outspoken against Trump’s illegal war in Iran and the US’s complicity in Israel’s war crimes in Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon. “That is totally and utterly irresponsible for a leader of a country – in this case, Trump – to basically kowtow to the leader of another country when their agenda is totally different than what our needs are,” he tells Mehdi. Subscribe now He was also one of forty senators who voted yesterday to block weapons sales to Israel, and while the measure did not pass, he nevertheless described it as a “historic moment.” He explains, “When we started out on this… there were three of us, Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, and me, who voted no. Now we have 40.” As the Democratic Party distances itself from Israel, Welch, who has never taken AIPAC money, encourages his fellow lawmakers to do the same: “AIPAC is not advocating a position so much as its position is to advocate for whatever the Netanyahu government wants.” But Israel and the war in Iran aren’t the only topics the two discussed. In this wide-ranging and challenging interview, Mehdi also presses the senator on: Chuck Schumer’s leadership Joe Biden’s legacy The House commission on presidential capacity And Trump’s threat to midterm elections.

The 5 Most Islamophobic Tweets From Republicans Since the Iran War Began
American wars in the Middle East have always relied on Islamophobic tropes and dehumanization to manufacture consent at home, but the vile, anti-Muslim rhetoric we’re seeing coming from congressional Republicans has reached new levels since Donald Trump launched his illegal war on Iran. There are five Republicans in particular who, since the Iran war began, have somehow become even more Islamophobic and vicious than they already were. Democrats and civil rights groups have denounced many of them, but Republicans have largely remained silent. Subscribe now Here are five of the most Islamophobic tweets from Republicans since the Iran war began less than a month ago: 1. Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles: ‘Muslims don’t belong in American society’ This March 9 tweet from Rep. Andy Ogles was rightly condemned by Democrats and civil rights groups. Guess who refused to condemn it? House Speaker Mike Johnson. 2. Florida Rep. Randy Fine: ‘We need more Islamophobia’ Like Ogles, Rep. Randy Fine has made so many Islamophobic comments in the last three weeks (and his entire congressional career) that it was difficult to choose the worst. But bluntly calling for more Islamophobia, as he did on March 12, certainly meets the bar. Subscribe now 3. Texas Rep. Brandon Gill: ‘Islam is a problem’ Rep. Brandon Gill has long been an open racist, so it should come as no surprise that the Texas congressman hasn’t held back in spewing hateful rhetoric toward Muslims as he did in this March 1 tweet, calling an entire faith, practiced by 2 billion people worldwide, including 4.5 million in the US, “a problem” – while turning “God is Great” in Arabic into a violent reference. 4. Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden: ‘Radical Muslim sleeper cells’ Then there’s Rep. Derrick Van Orden, who revived an old favorite dog whistle: radical Muslim sleeper cells. 5. Texas Rep. Keith Self: ‘Radical Islam is on the offensive in America’ Rep. Keith Self has focused on another one of the favorite go-to tropes for Islamophobes – creeping Sharia! Share The Sharia-Free America Caucus and Its Leaders These Republicans, of course, are not the only Islamophobic members of Congress – they’re just perhaps among the worst. The rapidly growing Sharia-Free America Caucus has now reached 59 members who come from 24 states, Self, the group’s co-chair, announced today. This group’s mission is to “save Western Civilization and fight back against the threat of Sharia.” At its core, this group is pushing for a Muslim ban. “Our immigration system must be prepared to confront this challenge and defend our Judeo-Christian values,” said Congressman Roy. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) designated the caucus an anti-Muslim hate group, the first time the civil rights group has made the designation for a caucus in its 32-year history.

2028 Dem Presidential Contenders on Iran: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gavin Newsom, and Mark Kelly. Photos via Getty Images. We already know how feckless Democratic Party leadership can be, and how complicit it is in the US-Israeli war on Iran. Look no further than Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who responded by fronting his concerns about how Donald Trump’s “fitful cycles” put a wrench into more “strategic” ways to confront Iran’s “malign regional activities” and “nuclear ambitions.” Subscribe now While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joined Schumer in calling on Congress to vote for a War Powers Resolution to require congressional approval for any military action in Iran, Jeffries didn’t do much better in the throat-clearing department. But what about the Democrats likely running for president in 2028? We’ve collected their responses to Trump’s illegal and dangerous war, and ranked them here. Without further ado – here is The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: The Good Ro Khanna: Khanna, the California congressman, is one of the few Democrats actually using his power to check Trump by leading a War Powers Resolution in the House. He acknowledged the 93 million people in Iran and called the US-Israel assault on the Islamic Republic what it is: “an illegal regime change war” that endangers Americans. Ruben Gallego: The Arizona Senator delivered a crisp message befitting of the moment and its contradictions: “Trump ran on exposing the pedophiles and stopping wars. Trump is now protecting the pedophiles and starting wars.” Chris Van Hollen: Van Hollen is among the few to condemn the killings of innocent Iranian people, as hawks claim this war is being fought for their freedom. “Trump is lying to the American people as he launches an illegal, regime-change war against Iran,” the Maryland senator wrote. “This is endangering American lives & has already resulted in mass civilian casualties.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Ocasio-Cortez checked Trump’s fake rationale for the war, saying this was “not an inevitability,” but a “deliberate choice of aggression” by Trump, who “walked away” from negotiating. “Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran,” the New York congresswoman said. Pete Buttigieg: Buttigieg condemned Trump’s “war of choice” for risking American lives, ignoring US law, and endangering allies. “It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day,” the former transportation secretary said. Jon Ossoff: While couching in “Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment” as destabilizing the region, Ossoff condemned Trump’s lies about Iran posing a threat, and his earlier contradictory claims that he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Georgia senator, who’s up for reelection this year, pushed for an immediate vote on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump. JB Pritzker: Pritzker, the Illinois governor, slammed Trump for his expressed indifference for US soldiers who may die from his war. “Donald Trump is once again sidestepping the Constitution and once again failing to explain why he’s taking us into another war,” Pritzker said. “Americans asked for affordable housing and healthcare, not another potentially endless conflict.” Subscribe now Kamala Harris: While Trump and his MAGA allies argued in 2024 that electing Kamala Harris would mean a war in Iran, or World War III, the former vice president condemned Trump’s war. “Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,” she said. The Bad Gavin Newsom: The potential 2028 hopeful and part-time podcast bro criticized Trump’s “illegal, dangerous war.” But Newsom, the California governor, led with Trump’s rationale, writing: “The corrupt and repressive Iranian regime must never have nuclear weapons. The leadership of Iran must go.” Cory Booker: Booker, a pro-Israel hawk who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, questioned Trump’s strategy and acknowledged that the president doesn’t have “the authority to unilaterally wage war.” He also repeatedly warned about the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran and added: “Military action alone cannot solve Iran’s nuclear challenge.” Wes Moore: The Maryland governor noted “We can stand with the Iranian people who support the cause of democracy and freedom without risking another conflict that sends another generation of American troops into combat.” He did not mention the illegality of Trump’s war, nor did he outright oppose it. Share Andy Beshear: While the Kentucky governor dinged Trump for his hypocrisy for claiming he would oppose new wars and noted that Americans are still dealing with the fallout from US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he did not specifically oppose the war. Beshear instead criticized Trump for not making the case for the war at his State of the Union – which implies Trump’s illegal war could be justified. Josh Shapiro: While the Pennsylvania governor expressed disappointment that Trump has not “adequately explained” his war in Iran and launched it without congressional approval, he still parroted neoconservative talking points. The Iranian regime “is the leading state sponsor of terrorism around the world – they must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons,” Shapiro said. The Ugly Mark Kelly: The senator and the Navy combat veteran whom Trump’s Justice Department tried to prosecute with zero basis – offered some praise for Trump’s illegal war and the US-Israeli assassination spree in Iran. “I mean, it’s a good thing that the Supreme Leader is gone and some of the folks around him,” the potential 2028 aspirant said, while critiquing Trump’s lack of a plan. Kelly tripped up when he was asked whether he would support a War Powers resolution to block military action in Iran, saying that was “rather unlikely.” He quickly buckled under public pressure and said he will support it. Just two days into Trump’s war, voters are seeing who is a credible counter-weight to the violent lawlessness of the out-of-control Republican Party and who is not. But the stakes are not just an election two years from now. The people are widely against this violence. Democratic leadership clearly isn’t up to snuff to channel that public will. Who will? And what will they do before 2028 to stop this? Check out more from Zeteo:
