While this is undoubtedly rly good news that we should totally celebrate, 50 to 46 is still scarily close to selling out the country.
They needed 60 votes for integration of the U.S & Israeli military, so they were just 10 shy.
If Lyndsey Graham didn’t pass away, it would’ve been 50-47, so there’s that. I don’t think Mitch McConnell voted, because he’s practically got 1 foot in the grave, so that would’ve brought it up to 50-48.

MAGA people: if you think integration with Israel is a bad thing, please let it be known in your circles. Be vocal about it. We are circling the drain here.
