‘Tired of writing about dead kids’: why a US state department worker resigned over Israel-Gaza policy Mike Casey, one of only two people explicitly focused on Gaza, left over inaction and doing ‘what the Israelis want’

"We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” - Mike Casey, the US diplomat working on Gaza who just quit his job.

Belated and important recognition, but in the waning days of this administration isn't there more consequential work to be done?

Near White House — Rep. Rashida Tlaib honors Ayşenur Eygi, killed by IDF 101 days ago.

“President Biden recently said ‘if you harm an American, we will respond.’ But in his inaction, has made it clear once again that when it comes to the Israeli government murdering Americans, it's a complete lie.”

How “Y.O.L.O. Joe” Can Beat The Lame Duck Here is what Democrats could actually achieve in the months before Trump takes office.

In the next month, Biden and Dems can...

-Keep filling federal judicial vacancies

-Ensure a pro-worker majority on the NLRB

-Appoint key regulators to the SEC and FDIC

-Renominate Lina Khan to the FTC

And much, much more...

Get it done.

Harris had to embrace Lina Khan's anti-trust work to demonstrate to voters the pro-consumer, pro-worker achievements of the Biden-Harris administration. Instead, runs away from them. 👇 speaks to her strong pro-corporate credentials.
