The Squad (and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie?) failed to stop funding for the Iron Dome today.
JUST IN: House passes $1B bill to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, two days after a progressive revolt forced the money out of a gov’t funding package.
Vote was 420-9-2.
8 Dems & 1 Republican voted no.
2 Dems voted present.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib is doubtlessly seething right now. But AOC … well, apparently she’s just sad.
Big huddle around AOC on the house floor. Jayapal, Barbara Lee, dingell, bush.

Clearly AOC is hurting.
AOC seems distraught. She is in the middle of the house floor wiping away tears, crying into her colleagues shoulders. https://t.co/ami3Cj44EP

Feel her pain. Feel it.
Ocasio-Cortez, who changed her vote from no to present on Iron Dome at the last minute appears visibly upset. Appears to be crying on the House floor, in a hug with Rep. Jayapal

Now look at her pain. Look at it:
NOW – Tears on the House floor: AOC appears to be crying as the House passed a $1 billion funding for Israel's Iron Dome. She voted no, then switched her vote to present last minute.pic.twitter.com/jjq3kw7R4v

Is she this upset because she ultimately didn’t have the guts to put her money where her antisemitic mouth is and now she’s worried about what Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar will think of her? Or is there something else going on? Or is it a combination? Whatever the reason, AOC’s own Iron Dome appears to be very weak today. She’s falling apart!
supposedly this is about Iron Dome, I'm just saying crying at work is an interesting choice https://t.co/78OxBorFua

Reminder that AOC is crying like a little bitch because she withdrew her vote to NOT fund a defense system Israel uses to prevent terrorist bombs from killing innocent civilians.
Truly detestable. https://t.co/ETxLXZcxNf

She’s crying bc she can’t vote no or it would hurt her politically. Disgraceful. https://t.co/rtQQyMewo1

Distraught about… voting “present” on funding a system that solely helps stop innocent civilians from being killed? pic.twitter.com/YaYUgOsXUv

Imagine being this sad you weren’t able to block funding for a defense system for Israel https://t.co/LScWnVFmFy

Cry us a river, AOC. Please.

Perfect.
I wanna freeze this tweet in the winter and skate on it, then melt it in the springtime and drink it!
