In Washington, D.C., the House of Representatives voted Tuesday to censure Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of Congress. Twenty-two Democrats joined Republicans in backing the resolution, which falsely accuses Tlaib of “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel” and defending Hamas’s actions on October 7. Tlaib addressed her colleagues on the House floor Tuesday, flanked by fellow progressives who have signed on to Cori Bush’s resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
