ExpatMoney.com/JimA Senate “procedural hurdle” can look like a victory, but we’re not buying the easy headline. We unpack what actually happened to the NDAA and why Section 219, the proposal that would deepen US-Israel military integration, is still very much in play. We also call out the bait-and-switch happening in real time: lawmakers avoiding 219 while suddenly rediscovering “war powers” when it’s politically useful.Then we get granular with President Trump’s War Powers Resolution notification to Congress. We read the language, compare it to what the law requires, and point out the gaps: shaky justification tied to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, fuzzy claims about defending the homeland, and a glaring lack of clear authority, scope, and duration. If Congress accepts that kind of letter as oversight, it’s not oversight at all.Finally, we pivot back to the stakes around Section 219 through the story of Rep Ro Khanna’s trip and his claim that Israeli settlers and the IDF detained his group at gunpoint, followed by Netanyahu’s evasive response. We connect intimidation, conference committee backroom tactics, and bill-packaging tricks to one bottom line: if you want Congress to act like Congress, the pressure has to be sustained and loud.
