Succinct and to the point. It should be a no-brainer to pass the legislation - the votes are there, in both the House and the Senate. The obstacle is Speaker Johnson, who is beholden to Trump, and by extension, Putin. All Americans should lobby their congress-people to bring about this vote. JUST DO IT!

I'm eagerly watching the discharge petition filed today by James McGovern to bring the Senate version of the aid to Ukraine bill to the floor for a vote. So far there are 169 signatures, all Democrats. There are 44 Democrats remaining who have not yet signed. I believe 4 have indicated that they are unlikely to sign it. We'll need 9 Republicans with the courage to sign the petition. Trump is working behind the scenes promising retaliation against any Republican who supports the Senate bill.

Let's hope those 9 Republicans with courage exist.

Thanks. Keep giving us clear messages like this to forward around. Remind everyone how popular the idea is. Johnson is letting on like it isn't. He's a fibber alright.
