Good morning. May I show you something truly amazing? Look at what @CoriBush admits about the $40b war package she — and the entire Squad — just voted for: "a large percentage" goes not to Ukraine but "to private defense contractors," with "increased risks of direct war." pic.twitter.com/2R8UmgjUgo

To see her justifications for why she nonetheless voted YES, see the full statement, if you can discern a rationale. At least she said something, unlike the other 5 Squad members who said nothing, despite requests, which I’ll post if we receive anything:
The silence from the Squad about why they voted YES on a huge war package for Raytheon and CIA — exactly what they have spent years denouncing — is exceeded only by the utter silence of the sector of the left-media that branded and enriched itself by tying itself to the Squad. – Glenn Greenwald
