Adam Johnson:

Once again, Bernie Sanders and most of the so-called squad (minus Rep. Rashida Talib, but more on this later) ran to Biden’s defense. In exchange? Reportedly they got Biden to make First 100 day commitments to “expanding Social Security benefits and eliminating medical debt.”

But there was, from all publicly available reporting, no mention of concessions on the Gaza genocide. Which is a fairly conspicuous item left off the list, given that, unlike expanding Social Security benefits and eliminating medical debt, Biden acting on ending support for Israel does not potentially require a far-off, idealized Congress or the Supreme Court upholding a presidential decision. He can do it now, today, as he chooses.

Absolutely pathetic from AOC and Bernie.
