Support the Khanna/Massie Amendment:Keep the U.S. and Israeli Militaries Separate
Buried inside the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act is Section 219, a provision that would permanently integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries by requiring the Secretary of Defense to appoint an executive agent to synchronize joint operations, defense technology research, and industrial cooperation. In a rare act of bipartisan solidarity, progressive Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) and libertarian-leaning Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) have joined forces to strip this provision from the bill entirely — Khanna by introducing an amendment in the Armed Services Committee, and Massie pledging to bring one to the House floor if the provision passes out of committee. This kind of structural military entanglement with a foreign government — inserted quietly into a must-pass bill without a standalone public debate — sets a dangerous precedent for American sovereignty and accountability. Contact your representative today and urge them to support the Khanna-Massie amendment to remove Section 219 from the NDAA.

Tell Congress: Strip Section 219 from the Defense Bill
A buried provision in the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act — now renumbered Section 219 (formerly Section 224), titled the "United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative" — would permanently integrate U.S. and Israeli military operations, technology, and industrial cooperation at an unprecedented level. No public debate. No standalone vote. Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) have introduced a bipartisan amendment to strip it. Urge your Representative to support their amendment.
