Americans can't get necessary child care in this pandemic. Mothers are struggling to take care of their children. Daycares are closing due to the pandemic. Many daycares are being overworked because of the pandemic.

First things first, Congress wants Americans to get back to work. We are dealing with a worker shortage. Many Americans are not going to work for less than $35,000 a year. They want better wages, affordable healthcare, better roads and bridges, better lighting, harsher penalties for theft of catalytic converters, safer work conditions, workable hours, easy access to the safety net and less partisanship in Washington, DC.

I want lawmakers to do their jobs. I don't want lawmakers who act like activists. I don't want lawmakers who stall legislation but take credit for it when it benefits their constituents. I want the U.S. to aid countries in need of assistance only in natural disasters. I don't want the American taxpayer to fund other countries or nation build. I want the U.S. to get control of the pandemic which has killed over 720,000 Americans.

What happens when you catch the coronavirus and you're in the hospital? 

What happens when you're the only one able to pay the bills, feed the children and work?

What happens when one or both parents die from the coronavirus?

What happens when you have to stay home because your job cut hours and requires you to work at difficult times when you're needed to take of your children?

Did you know that your tax dollars are funding Israel?

The American support of Israel is controversial. Many lawmakers often equate Israel with Judaism and often are lockstep in supporting that country no matter what it does. It is been the center of conflict in the Middle East and progressives are calling out members for their willingness to pay for Israel's defense while denying Americans the "safety net."

I am sick of it. I am sick of lawmakers willing to spend billions on another country. The very same folks who hate migrants from the Northern Triangle countries, Afghanistan and Haiti are willing to put your tax dollars into funding a country that has nuclear weapons, a series of propaganda to sway Americans and the relentless victimhood. 

Everytime you criticize Israel, the Republicans and some of the Democrats are quick to call you anti-Semitic. 

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are two members of the House Progressive Caucus and the so-called Squad. They along with Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are Muslim.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) voted against funding the Iron Dome. Joined in their opposition were Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL), Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL), Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-TX) and Rep. Karen Massie (R-KY). 

Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson and New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted "present."

The two women are very critical of the U.S. and Israeli alliance. They believe the U.S. is aiding genocide of the Palestinian people. Israel has been blocking aid to the Gaza Strip and deliberately building settlements in the Golan Heights and in East Jerusalem. These actions are condemned by the United Nations and many other supporting nations.

The UN can't impose sanctions on Israel because of the United States, United Kingdom, France and Spain. They seem to be embolden to allowing Israel to do whatever it wants despite the human rights violations and war crimes committed by the Israeli Defence Force. 

The Iron Dome Missile Shield is active whenever rockets are fired near Tel Aviv.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA), Obstruction Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) and about 86% of the Congress supports Israel (no matter what it does).

Congressional Democrats initially wanted to pass the Iron Dome funding in a continuing resolution on Wednesday. But because the legislation contained a debt ceiling increase Republicans refused to vote for it. That left Democrats with just a three-vote margin for error. When a handful of progressive lawmakers objected to the Iron Dome funding, Democrats were forced to pull the provision from the bill in order to ensure its passage along party lines. 

The vote came after a contentious exchange on the House floor in which Tlaib said, "We cannot top be talking only about Israelis need for safety at a time when Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system."

That prompted an outraged response from Rep. Karen Fleischmann (R-TN).

"I ask the majority to condemn the comments that were just made by their member," Fleischmann said. 

Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) obliged. 

"I cannot allow one of my colleagues to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives and label the Jewish democratic state of Israel an apartheid state," he said. "I reject it." 

Deutch said that Tlaib's statement was "consistent with those who advocate for the dismantling of the Jewish state." 

Public opinion is wavering with Israel though. More younger, people of color and well-educated Americans disapprove of funding Israel in military defense and building of settlements.

The moralists, whites, Republicans, conservative-leaning voters, Islamophobes and warmongers support giving Israel the billions.

Should the American taxpayer continue to fund Israel?
Yes
No

Iron Dome (Hebrew: כִּפַּת בַּרְזֶל‎, romanized: Kippat Barzel) is a mobile all-weather air defense system developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries. The system is designed to intercept and destroy short-range rockets and artillery shells fired from distances of 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to 70 kilometres (43 mi) away and whose trajectory would take them to an Israeli populated area.
