For anyone who still supports Israel, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. aljazeera.com/features/2026/…
It's time for NEW leadership in Congress!
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries represent the same establishment politics that put corporate donors, weapons manufacturers, and the pro-Israel lobby ahead of the needs of everyday people.
We need congressional leadership that will stand up to the war machine, challenge corporate power, and invest in healthcare, housing, education, and peace, not endless wars.
Join CODEPINK at the Taxpayer Uprising, November 10–12, in Washington, D.C.! We're taking our demands directly to Congress: STOP funding war. INVEST in people! codepink.org/novdc26
The time for business as usual is OVER.
Hakeem Jeffries is not the man for the moment!!! commondreams.org/opinion/why…
Trump admits immigration enforcement has been "too tough" but promotes racist, immigrant-hater Stephen Miller to chief of staff!!! theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
If the Netherlands, with less than 20 million people, can stage such a MASSIVE rally for Palestine, why can't we? apnews.com/article/gaza-isra…
A new generation in Congress, and a renewed sense of hope.
At the Arab American Foundation event, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed spoke about an America that lives up to its highest ideals: one that stands for democracy, upholds international law, opposes genocide, and invests in people instead of bombs and tanks.
For many in the Arab American community, this moment represents both hope and an opportunity to demand meaningful change.
Hope is only the beginning. The work of holding Congress accountable continues.

Wow. These new Senators have more courage than most of the old-timers. They are not beholden to AIPAC or other lobby groups but to the people. How novel!
Talarico: "Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being." I can't wait to see this man in the Senate!
When you listen to James Talarico, you realize that last night's results were not just a rejection of Trump and Israel's Iran war, but also a rejection of a Democratic Party led by people like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan:
"I've never taken money from AIPAC, and I'm not taking money from AIPAC in this campaign. Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being"
This is his message, and he won in Texas!
Trump wants to build a massive 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery, bigger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Another monument to his ego, while Americans struggle to afford basic necessities.
Retired Colonel Ann Wright joins Veterans For Peace, CODEPINK, and Third Act activists to protest the proposed construction and demand that Congress stop it before it starts.
House Democrats: CHOOSE A NEW SPEAKER - Sign the Petition! c.org/hjMYzDXCjv via @Change
Immense respect for Senator-Elect Peggy Flanagan for saying she does not support Chuck Schumer and wants a new leader for the Senate Democrats!!! Yes!!! minnesotareformer.com/2026/1…
Do you think @RepJeffries will really fulfill the voters' demands to end Trump's war in Iran AND cut ties with Israel??? Who would you like to see as House Speaker?
Any suggestions of where @LauraLoomer should consider moving, now that "America is over"? And don't say Israel because the Palestinians have enough problems...
Senator @ChrisVanHollen would make a MUCH better Majority Leader than @SenSchumer but I think he’s more interested in running for president. So who would you like to see as Senate Leader?
Congratulations @chrisrabbCD03. We are waiting for you in Congress with bells and whistles 😀
JD Vance is now acknowledging what voters made clear at the ballot box: the war in Iran came at a major political cost to Republicans.
After months of defending Trump's war, Vance admits that voters want an end to the conflict, relief from rising costs, and a different relationship with Israel.
But acknowledging the political consequences is not the same as calling for peace.
If even the White House recognizes that Americans want this war to end, why is it still continuing?
Election night sent a message: People are tired of endless wars, blank checks for Israel, and politicians who put weapons manufacturers ahead of their constituents.
But winning elections doesn't automatically mean winning change. We can't sit back and expect Congress to deliver. We have to demand it.
That's why we're heading to Washington, DC, November 10–12, for a Taxpayer Uprising!
Our demands are clear: END the war in Iran. STOP funding Israel's war machine. CUT the Pentagon budget. INVEST in people's needs, not war profiteers.
Stop funding war. Start funding life.
Join us November 10–12!
