The first thing Trump-endorsed GOP speaker Rep. Mike Johnson does in 2025 is tuck a special measure into the House rules package shielding Benjamin Netanyahu from prosecution for genocide. So this is what “America first” means in practice.


@RepThomasMassie

The United States is a sovereign country, so I don’t assign any credibility to decisions of the International Criminal Court. But how did a bill to protect Netanyahu make it into the House rules package to be voted on immediately after the Speaker vote? Where are our priorities?!

Here is the text of the proposed House rules package. Special protection provision for Netanyahu is on page 35 of 36.

    Great job, people who didn’t vote for Harris because she and Biden weren’t tough enough on Israel.
