I haven't voted to send them funding of any kind.
And right now, I mean, they are dragging us deeper and deeper into war.
I mean, they've committed this genocide in Gaza.
They're continuing to bomb and invade places like Lebanon.
And they're putting now American service members at greater risk in Iran.
And so I think that is shifting.
We're seeing more and more members
of all kinds sign on to the Block the Bombs bill led by Congresswoman Delia Ramirez.
The Progressive Caucus endorsed that bill.
It's the first time a major caucus of members in Congress has endorsed anything like this.
And that's really thanks to folks like the people that watch your show, people at home reaching out to their member of Congress.
So as you keep on pushing folks to sign on to Block the Bombs,
Part of my job is, just like anybody else at work, to sit down with folks and say, look, even if you had a different position before, it isn't flip-flopping, it is, we gotta give people the ability to say, you know what, I had one position before, and now I've seen what has happened, and I'm ready to get on Block the Bombs, and I think we should welcome those folks
into the movement because the democratic party cannot in my view um continue to send money to netanyahu's military that's done what they've done and they're trying to do what they're doing
I think we're gonna have a huge growth in the Progressive Caucus, but that's also based on folks voting in these upcoming primary elections in the summer.
Almost everywhere, no matter almost wherever you live, you probably have primaries coming up.
And very few people vote in those primaries.
Most people come out and vote in November, where you determine whether the Democrats or Republicans are in control.
That's extremely important, obviously.
But if the Democrats are in control, who the Democrats are gets determined by the primary, a much smaller election probably happening in your home city this summer.
