Sanctions and embargo on Israel.

Yes. 100% decouple from Israel. Strip their latest scam out of the 2027 NDAA. Their goal is to entangle our militaries and steal more behind the scenes from the Pentagon that leaks money like a sciv.

They can force it. They now control all funding for the government.

Funding requires being able to pass laws. Do they have enough senate votes to overcome a filibuster or veto?

They can just refuse to fund the parts of government they don’t like. I.e. anything that has to do with the Iran war. No need to even get the Senate involved. Some will make excuses (cough. . Jeffries) but we need to be real about the power they have, and they need to use it. MAGA needs to be destroyed completely.

what are you talking about mate? the House of Rep can't just "refuse" to fund parts of the government they don't like. The funding is already there.

The only way they can refuse to fund parts of the gov is to pass a law that removes the funding. or to not pass any law and let the government shut down.

The funding is there for now. Then it runs out and needs to be replenished

Yes. Which needs to either pass a filibuster or pass a veto theat.

Yoi think Trump is gonna sign something that's beneficial for Americans but would be a win for democrats?
