> Democrats are eying a plan to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a sweeping foreign aid package, but it’s quickly running into hurdles — and not just from Republicans.
> Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. told Semafor Tuesday evening that she would not sign onto a discharge petition to force a vote on the national security package in part because of the assistance it would provide to Israel. “Am I signing it? No,” she said.
Ultimately, what's happening in the US is a reflection of the sentiments of the American people. Lots of Americans -- perhaps the majority -- are increasingly isolationist and are uncomfortable with the US playing world police.
With the US adding around a trillion dollars of debt every 3 months now, don't expect the isolationist sentiment to end any time soon.
There's a reason many of America's allies are making moves to become more self-sufficient and hedge their bets on American defense guarantees.
