A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) have joined forces across party lines to challenge a provision in the House's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would expand U.S.-Israel defense technology cooperation. The provision (Section 224) aims to integrate and synchronize U.S. and Israeli military technologies. This bipartisan effort reflects a growing trend of lawmakers from opposite political extremes finding common ground on Israel-related policy issues.
