With GOP Help, House Dems Force Vote To Give Another $1.3 Billion To Ukraine
…plus up to another $8 billion in “loans”
In a rebellion defying the priorities of Speaker Mike Johnson, House Democrats have teamed up with two Republicans and an independent in a parliamentary maneuver that will force a vote on a bill that would give another $1.3 billion in military aid and other assistance to Ukraine, as that country continues to lose territory in its war with Russia.
“We look forward to seeing the House pass this bill quickly and encourage the Senate to take it up without delay. The ?brave men and women of Ukraine ?are waiting,” said NY Rep. Gregory Meeks, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the author of the bill.
Wow — when TRUMP is away, the mice want to play, but when he gets back, it will be the end of that!
Gawd. And here I thought it was only Canada that continues to dole out billions to Ukraine
I think the Senate needs 60 Votes and even then Trump could veto
The reps who will one day see a portion of those funds again…..
two Republicans — Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon — along with California independent Kevin Kiley,
