    I’m wondering what’s the catch? Because Johnson is an obvious traitor, who has done everything to prevent help to Ukraine for 8 months now.
    Why would he suddenly let a ticket pass with his name on it, instead of letting the one from the Senate either fail or go through?

    Until there is clear evidence this bill is actually helpful, I don’t trust it one bit.

      Both chambers are scheduled to be in recess next week.

      So there’s that.

      Then nobody except Biden says he won’t signe one without the other. Which will be the GOPs highway to push the Israeli bill through fast but stalling the Ukrainian one (sending it back and forth to Congress/House on technicalities, not schedule a vote like on the ORIGINAL BILL) and blame Biden for “nOt supPorting IsRael”.

      A shame there is nothing to prevent this, like some procedure forcing the basic vote on the original bill… /s

        Ukraine will fall if it doesn’t happen right damn now.

        But Johnson doesn’t give a shit about that, he wants Russia to win!!!

      My main worry is that the other bills will be pushed forward while the Ukraine one is held up. I’m failing to see why these would be de-bundled when the Senate bill has been sitting right there for months.

        I’m not aware of what shenanigans are possible for him to play, but something like that would not surprise me. I’d rather have the Senate bill get the dozen or so remaining supporters it needs to force a vote.
