🆕 As Trump & Xi meet — dozens of US groups urge Congress to "prioritize peace, cooperation, and stability' and "actively help reduce U.S.-China tensions" "At a time when so many domestic needs are going unmet, a confrontational posture toward China is costing untold billions"

Congress never authorized sending US troops into imminent hostilities in Israel. This is a violation of the Constitution and War Powers Act of 1973.

Request to people of Pakistan: Please share videos or other evidence of any violations of human rights by Pakistan's military or security forces (violating freedom of expression, violence against protesters, etc.) so we can present it to Members of Congress & @statedeptspox:

The @statedeptspox must tell @OfficialDGISPR that US law requires suspending security cooperation and training with Pakistan's military if their repression against the pro-democracy movement (representing the vast majority of voters) continues:

THREAD - Growing calls in US Congress for @StateDeptSpox to not recognize the results from Pakistan's election until the evidence of vote rigging is fully investigated and the clear will of the Pakistani people is respected: @HouseForeign Affairs Committee member @RepSusanWild:

I echo the @StateDept call for a full investigation of election interference and fraud in Pakistan. Now is the time for the international community to stand on the side of the people of Pakistan. We cannot recognize a new government until it is clear that democracy has prevailed.

"We need to make sure that our country, the United States, does not recognize an illegitimate government in Pakistan." "Most of the people in Pakistan voted for Imran Khan... It looked like he had a landslide to return as prime minister." -@RoKhanna

"The most blatant election rigging" "They cut off internet. TV stations were told to stop broadcasting results. There were more votes for Sharif in some places than there were registered voters. So it was the most blatant election rigging." -Obama NatSec veteran @TVietor08

Notable that @SecBlinken has NOT announced a visa restriction policy for those responsible for undermining democracy in Pakistan, including in connection with "the most rigged election in Pakistan's history" or the jailing of thousands of political prisoners (cc @State_SCA)

I am announcing a new visa restriction policy for those responsible for undermining democracy in Georgia, including in connection with the Georgian Dream’s proposed “foreign influence” legislation.

Troubling comments by @statedeptspox on Pakistan's election appear to indicate US is open to recognizing an undemocratic government: US wants to see vote rigging investigated "by Pakistan's legal system" even though courts are widely known to be dominated by the military

The results of Pakistan’s election should represent the will of the people. For the sake of democracy and all Pakistanis, we are calling on the Biden Administration to withhold recognition of a new government until an investigation determines the election was not rigged.

Pakistan's regime blocks X/Twitter for over 2 days. Pro-democracy activists have used X/Twitter to get around regime media censorship. The silence of @statedeptspox @State_SCA is deafening, given their immediate & aggressive response to internet censorship in other places:

⚠️ Update: Metrics show X/Twitter has now been restricted in #Pakistan for over 48 hours as concerns mount over election fraud; authorities have failed to provide a lawful basis for the measure, which violates the public's fundamental right to free expression at a critical moment
