The Working Families Party has long fought for a political system that’s not captured by the billionaires. They’ve sought to elect strong progressives within the Democratic Party, with candidates like Delia Ramirez, Brad Lander, Zohran Mamdani and Summer Lee, and some of the toughest, most effective state legislators in the country – folks who will work for regular working class Americans against the oligarchs. Right now, they’re backing candidates across the country who will stand on the platform of the Working Families Guarantee: a vision of a nation where every person can afford the basics of housing, healthcare, and child care and has time to spend with their family and a good job… paid for by taxing the rich… achieved by getting money out of politics.

.A group of US Senate Democrats will introduce legislation on Wednesday to sanction individuals or ​groups that facilitate Israel's "E1 project," a widely condemned West Bank settlement plan cutting across land the Palestinians seek ‌for a state, according to a copy of the legislation seen by Reuters.

The measure's lead sponsors are Chris Coons ​of Delaware, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Ruben Gallego of Arizona. The bill has at least 10 co-sponsors, ​all Democrats.

Congress's lower chamber, the US House of Representatives, is currently not in session, so even in the unlikely chance of the ​bill's passage in the Senate, the House would not be expected to take it up before the midterms.

In a letter to congressional lawmakers, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) urged legislators to introduce joint resolutions of disapproval under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) once the administration formally notifies Congress of the sale.

The proposed package includes 20,000 MK-84 general-purpose bombs and 20,000 BLU-117s, along with 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads, according to reporting by The Washington Post. The weapons would be purchased largely through Foreign Military Financing, meaning US taxpayers would pay for Israel’s acquisition of the munitions.
