Thirteen so-called "Democrats" have reportedly signed the "Promise to America" pledge as of 26 June 2026. Besides DINO Tom Suozzi (D-Israel), I wonder if any of the remaining co-signers below are AIPAC recipients, making this initiative in reality code for a "Promise to Israel"?

Gosh, I'm just glad the 2024 Democrats paid careful attention to the tens of millions of antiwar Samaritans, pacifists, and pro-Palestine volunteers in the US, caring more for 350m Americans of all denominations and not just 7.2m Israeli Jews, securing 7,371,247 progressive voters (and a Democratic incumbency) on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, or else we might be living in a horrible, oligarch-dominated fascist country today.

Records obtained by the Guardian show Kennedy's colleague told Samoan officials in an email that he and Kennedy were coming as part of a mission to study the island nation's medical records in the aftermath of a "discontinuity in vaccinations".

Graven was the group's chief information officer. Spokespeople for Kennedy at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) did not respond to messages seeking comment. ...

Samoan officials later said Kennedy's visit bolstered the credibility of anti-vaccine activists. A measles outbreak, which tore through the Pacific island nation a few months after Kennedy's visit, sickened thousands and killed 83 people, mostly children under age five. ...
