House Democrats wrote a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden urging them to halt the the transfer of weapons until a full investigation into the airstrike was completed.
Are not all these weapon transfers laws that have already been voted on months and even years ago sometimes? Didn’t she probably vote for some of these?
Not quite that simple - authorization was voted on long ago in some cases but it’s up to the executive branch how and when to actually send them. They’re usually approved in big blocks which go out over time on no required-by-law schedule.
I think she probably voted for them back when being for Israel was a way to get votes, and now being for Israel is a way to lose votes, and now she’s alarmed and deeply concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people, all of a sudden. Whatever. If it leads to less support for Israel I’m at least happy that her insider trading ass is on the right side even if only very slightly and only by accident.
I also 100% agree with whoever it was that said call your representatives and encourage them to get on board too.

The laws include stopping transfers to anyone who the president determines to be interfering with [US] humanitarian aid.
