Sweet mother of fuck is this ever good news.

Long overdue, but very good news! Ukraine needs more support now more than ever.

I swear some Republicans Representatives would not consider feeding their kids if they couldn't also table some anti-LGBT, anti-immigration or anti-abortion measure at the same time.

Damn, only 3 months later than it should have fucking been.

Fuck fascists sucking Putin's dick

The main republican objection seems to be that it needs to include "border security", ignoring that they nuked a border bill with everything they wanted in it a few months ago because Trump asked them to. When it comes time to put up or shut up, they refuse to put up and don't have the decency to shut up. They must think their voters are incredibly stupid.

I can’t begin to describe how relieving it is to hear this news. Ukraine has long needed more support from us and I’m glad it’s finally happening.

Hopefully this is enough to make it to elections and hopefully we can sort out some of our problems with crazy.

I'm glad it happened, but I hate, hate, hate that we have to give a bunch of weapons to the genocidal country responsible for 10% of the world's military equipment just to get Ukraine the weapons they also need, but at least Ukraine got them.

Thank god that the democrats stepped in and voted. The republicans still can't muzzle their crazies.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The House took a critical step on Friday toward approving a long-stalled package of aid to Ukraine, Israel and other American allies, as Democrats supplied the crucial votes to push the legislation past Republican opposition so that it could be considered on the floor.

But it came only after Speaker Mike Johnson, who put his own job on the line to push through the plan over his party’s objections, was forced to turn to Democrats in a significant breach of custom in the House, further imperiling his position even as he paved the way for the legislation to be voted on and approved.

Those include multiple spending measures to keep the government funded and the annual defense bill, after a revolt from the far right over the exclusion of restrictions they had sought to abortion access, transgender care, and racial diversity and inclusion policies at the Pentagon.

Representative Michael Burgess, Republican of Texas and the chairman of the rules panel, said he wanted the Biden administration to provide more information about how previous foreign aid funding was used and what its long term goals were for ending the conflict in Ukraine.

“I’m concerned that the speaker’s cut a deal with the Democrats to fund foreign wars rather than secure our border,” said Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, one of the most vocal opponents of the legislation who has threatened to vote to oust Mr. Johnson because of it.

The far-right lawmakers who tried to block the rule in committee — Mr. Massie, Mr. Roy and Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina — opposed it because it would not allow a vote on severe border security provisions they have said should be prioritized over aiding Ukraine.

it's this the one where they ban social media that promotes an anti genocide, pro peace agenda or was that the other one?
