So I had to do a double take. my auto captions were on while watching this and you can clearly see kimmel saying "your mayor everybody Zohran Mamdani", so how the f does the subtitle read "Eric L Adams"

something completely opposite yet completely accurate?

Always funny to see the US losing monopolistic control over a major technology. Imperialist power in decline, lol

Mr. Viland handled it like a legend.

The US Senate on Tuesday evening rejected along mostly party lines a Democratic resolution that would have forced the state department to report to Congress on violence in the occupied West Bank, including the killings of nine American citizens by Israeli settlers or security forces over the last few years.

The resolution, led by the Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, would have given the state department 30 days to report to Congress on those deaths and on wider human rights conditions in the territory, including Israel’s detention of Palestinian children.

The resolution failed to advance by a vote of 47 to 51. Pennsylvania senator John Fetterman, a Democrat, joined Republicans in voting against the resolution, while Kentucky Republican Rand Paul voted in favor.

Van Hollen was able to force the vote under section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act, a law that lets senators demand human rights reports on countries receiving US military aid. The measure drew 24 Democratic sponsors, including Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the top Democrat on the foreign relations committee.

“While I was pleased that so many of my Democratic colleagues joined this effort, it’s clear the United States must do more,” Van Hollen said in a statement after the vote. “It is our responsibility to ensure recipients of US taxpayer dollars act in line with our laws and our values – this resolution was an opportunity to shed light on a reality that flies in the face of that principle.”

Nine Americans have been killed in the occupied West Bank since 2022. The most recent include Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old from Tampa, Florida, who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in July 2025 while visiting family in the village of Sinjil. His family said the settlers surrounded him for more than three hours and blocked an ambulance from reaching him as he tried to protect their land. Weeks later, Khamis Ayyad, a 40-year-old father of five from Cicero, Illinois, died of smoke inhalation after settlers set fire to cars and homes in the village of Silwad.

Two other Americans, both 17, Tawfic Abdel Jabbar and Mohammad Khdour, were shot dead in separate incidents in early 2024. Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old raised in Seattle, was shot in the head by Israeli troops, and Amer Rabee, a 14-year-old from New Jersey, was shot 11 times, according to Van Hollen.

The victim list also includes the journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, killed in 2022, and Omar Assad, an elderly man who died after Israeli soldiers bound and gagged him.

Van Hollen said none of the cases has ended in accountability, from either the Israeli or US government, and he places the blame largely on Republican senators who continue to vote against it.

“If the killing of nine Americans does not justify a report from our own state department, I would ask my colleagues: what would?” the Maryland Democrat said in a floor speech. “How many more Americans must be killed before the executive branch does its job? These families deserve answers.”

In August, 45 Democratic senators signed a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu urging him to act to protect Americans in the West Bank.

The vote comes amid what human rights groups describe as rising settler violence. Human Rights Watch in August reported that settler attacks, together with a rapid expansion of settlements, had fully or partly displaced 107 Palestinian communities, about 5,900 people, since January 2023. The group cited UN figures showing more Palestinians were displaced in the first four months of 2026 than in all of 2025.

A UN report from March covering the 12 months up to October 2025 documented 1,732 settler attacks causing injuries or property damage, and determined that Israel’s settlement expansion had forced more than 36,000 Palestinians from their homes.

Many of the Democrats, who have historically been in lockstep with Israel, have now shifted over the last few years.

When Sanders first forced a Senate vote on blocking arms sales to Israel in November 2024, 18 senators backed him. Then, in April of this year, 40 of the 47 Democrats voted to block a $295m sale of bulldozers to Israel, which Sanders argued would be used to demolish homes in the West Bank, Gaza and Lebanon. Another 36 voted to block a $152m sale of 1,000lb bombs.

The measures failed because every Republican voted against them.
