Trump just signed off on a $2.8 billion sale of bombs to the Israeli government.

And unlike a sale where another government uses its own money to buy U.S.-made weapons, the Israeli government will make this purchase via “foreign military financing.” That means it gets money — taxpayer dollars — from the U.S. government to buy U.S.-made bombs and bullets.

You read that right: This sale means BILLIONS of dollars in weapons for the Netanyahu government, bought and paid for by you, the U.S. taxpayer.

Rep. Gregory Meeks and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen have jumped to use their positions as ranking members of Congress’ foreign affairs committees to place a “hold” on the sale. It’s a welcome maneuver, but it’s one Trump’s blown through before.

That’s why we’re already gearing up for the next phase: the Senate can BLOCK the bombs outright by passing a joint resolution of disapproval, so let’s put pressure on each and every senator to go on record in opposition today.
