Email from ENA It’s time we punish Dems in Congress who betray us to work with MAGA… John,  Last week House Republicans picked ultra-MAGA extremist Congressman Brian Mast (R-FL) to lead the ever important House Foreign Affairs Committee. Mast has made a name for himself as a die hard supporter of Israel’s extreme right-wing government through moves like denying the existence of “innocent civilians” in Gaza and comparing all Palestinians, even the children killed in airstrikes, to "Nazis". These comments lead to Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA), the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, introducing a motion to censure him for his remarks. You may also know him as the Congressman who's been showing up to work on Capitol Hill in an Israeli military uniform. In reaction to his troubling ascension to Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Politico ran the following headline: According to Democratic staffers quoted in the article, Mast is expected to focus on divisive culture war issues and that his previous incendiary statements on Palestine will make it difficult to get bipartisan work done. While we hope that Democrats in Congress, especially those on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and in the House Progressive Caucus, will refrain from working with Congressman Mast as he works to implement Trump’s MAGA foreign policy agenda, the last year gives us reason to doubt this… Sadly, at least 28 members of the House Progressive Caucus (HPC), Congress’s supposed left-most faction, have taken money from the right-wing American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) while it is actively working to unseat their HPC colleagues like Andy Levin and Jamaal Bowman. On top of this atleast 55 of the HPC’s 96 members have voted with the GOP to send Israel weapons - long after it became clear to the world that Israel has been carrying out genocide. Why can we be fairly certain that these AIPAC funded “progressives” will side with Brian Mast and MAGA when push comes to shove? Because the massive donations they received from AIPAC come with this string attached: side with us on Israel votes, or else. We need your help to give real consequences to these fake “progressives” that will join onto the MAGA Middle East agenda. Can we count on you to donate $10 or whatever you can spare to help us prevent a fifth column from forming in the House Progressive caucus?

When these Democrats break from the party line and side with MAGA on supporting Israel’s newest foreign policy atrocity such as annexing the West Bank, or giving the green light to US airstrikes and boots on the ground in Gaza, don’t say we didn’t warn you. It’s time we start punishing members of Congress who betray us to work with MAGA.
