Hi Glenn, I’m wondering how you see the next steps unfolding on Section 219 of the pending FY 2027 Defense bill, currently stalled in Congress. If section 219 passes, the US merges its military with Israel’s, further usurping Congress’s war powers. Do you see this merger as blocking congressional ability to keep the US out of Israel’s wars, and locking the US into “the Greater Israel Project?” This provision also mandates the US to share intelligence with Israel, even though Israel currently spies on the US. As if potentially getting wired into genocidal wars is not enough to make this deeply concerning, how is this merger with a foreign power even constitutional?

I just watched the exchange between Rep Ro Khanna and Scahill as part of Taibbi's new, "Anatomy of a Struggle Session" piece. I know you've been friends/friendly with many of the journalists involved, but as someone who's clearly not a member of the "progressive press", can you comment on whether you thought the interview overstepped or whether this line of questioning was journalistically valid?
