This bill? 42 democrats apparently voted to protect a foreign genocidal maniac.

how much you wanna bet they also have their names appear on this list

(edit: yeah. I just checked they all do. it's possible every congress person does, but, uhm, after a cursory search the average is around 100k in contributions from pro-israeli sources. I'm not even going to be bothering to check the republicans that voted yea.)

What the fuck, Slotkin? Dangerous game you’re playing when you’re running for a senate seat in Michigan this year. Dearborn voters will remember this.

Instead of supporting a court that has the goal of prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity like they themselves did after 1945, they are now boycotting such courts. I wonder what made them change their position 180 degrees. ..

Years of political bribes and outright propaganda. AIPAC has pro-Israel billboards in some locations in the Bay Area. I saw at least one somewhere between Vallejo and Richmond when we were coming back from a hike or something (partner picks outings and drives to spare my frustration in traffic, so I don't have a solid memory of why we were on that stretch of highway).
