Story summary

A new Senate resolution led by Chris Van Hollen aims to require the State Department to report on the killings of Americans in the West Bank since 2022 and the human rights situation concerning Palestinian children in Israeli military detention there. The resolution, supported by twenty-four Democratic senators, argues that protecting U.S. citizens abroad is a top responsibility of the U.S. government. Exclusive polling from Zeteo shows strong bipartisan support for investigating these incidents; at least 15 Americans have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank since 2003, with nine deaths occurring since 2022 alone.

🔮 On this day in 1973, President Richard Nixon oversaw the “Saturday Night Massacre,” in which Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy AG William Ruckelshaus resigned rather than fire Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox.
🔮 In today’s ‘First Draft,’ the president once again demonstrates he is America’s most out-of-touch billionaire, while also clarifying his willingness to discard law and convention to go after enemies and targets for his hate, in the continued hounding of Ilhan Omar.
🔮 (Several Trump advisers concede to Zeteo that it verges on self-satire that this president would run against warmongering at this point.)
🔮 In today’s ‘First Draft,’ Democrats and Republicans agree the U.S. should investigate the killing of nine Americans in the occupied West Bank; Donald Trump and his administration revealed the exact level of bullshit they will put in a court filing before a federal judge; and Trump’s Iran war drags on and on.
🔮 Later today, they’ll decide whether to advance a bill that would give the crypto industry the exact type of favorable, light-touch regulatory environment its executives paid for by spending $245 million on the 2024 elections, and another $206 million (so far) this cycle.
🔮 In today’s ‘First Draft,’ we recap Donald Trump’s latest unhinged weekend posting spree, and we take a look at Rudy Giuliani’s disgraceful, Islamophobic attack on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ahead of this week’s 9/11 anniversary.
🔮 But roughly half of the bank will, naturally, belong to the Emiratis.
🔮 You’re running around basically tying your entire identity to a country that inevitably will be seen as Jewish ISIS, and you’re saying, ‘As Jews, this is all we care about.’

Narrative

Twenty-four Democratic senators, led by Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, are pushing a privileged resolution that would require Donald Trump’s State Department to report to Congress on the killings of Americans in the West Bank since 2022, as well as on “the human rights situation concerning Palestinian children in Israeli military detention in the West Bank.” “Protecting and supporting United States citizens abroad is one of the foremost responsibilities of the United States government,” the resolution states.
