The Foreign Relations Committee passed a bill yesterday to give Israel a minimum of $38 billion over the next ten years, despite current devastation to the US economy.

Now the bill goes to the full Senate. (contains video of mtg)

*“Games of Gore”* by Chet Raymo "Some years ago the New York Times had a full two-page ad for "The Game of Thrones", an HBO television series. The blurbs were fantastic.
