1/ Tonight 8 House members and dozens of Senators called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This is significant.

2/ First, it's in direct contradiction to Biden's same-old same-old "we support Israel's right to self-defense" comment. Second, it's Congress assuming a Constitutionally granted power in foreign policy matters, a role it has mainly ceded to the president for decades.

3/ All this represents a serious sea change - in how Congress sees the situation & how the American people see the situation. But it will not be enough to simply stop the bombing. There must be fundamental changes that go much further, & American influence is extremely important.
