via @U24_gov_ua:
Chernihiv has suffered 3 terrorist attacks from russia today.
One of them hit a hospital.
11 people killed, 22 wounded, so far, in total.
This is a never-ending nightmare.
One we have to wake up to, not from.
For over 2 years.
This has to stop.

Johnson games hope:
4 separate votes; loans;
results uncertain; delays likely.
There's one path to follow:
Discharge Petition #9
Let's get this done.
I am aghast.
There is no reason I can grasp the House is not voting on Aid so likely to pass.
Who are we?
Why is this vote still being blocked?

Russia invaded:

Without U.S. aid, russian strikes are more effective.
The danger is that Putin makes Ukraine unlivable.

Lets get a Vote this week.
Can you help?
It's not "the United States" that is abandoning its friends. It is the Trump Republicans.
In 2022, a Democratic House approved 4 aid requests to Ukraine totalingi $75 billion. Since then, a Republican House has refused all aid to Ukraine. It's not "the United States" that is abandoning its friends. It is the Trump Republicans.
Why a Discharge Petition (and why #9)?
To get the bill for Ukraine Aid, which the Senate passed in February, to the House floor for a vote.

If Russia breaks through, this will be our fault. And then we will understand what we have lost. Everything that Ukraine is doing for us can be reversed. If Ukraine is defeated, we will find ourselves in a far more dangerous world. It will be a world where we can expect war in Europe and war in Asia. A world in which Russia can cut off the food to the Near East and Africa that Ukraine now supplies.

It has been more than 470 days since Congress passed legislation to support Ukraine. That is most of the time since Russia invaded in February 2022. During the period of our inaction, Russia has reconstituted its army. It is preparing a new offensive, testing Ukraine across the front and illegally using CS gas to drive Ukrainian soldiers from their trenches.

By showing that a nuclear power can be resisted, they teach other countries that they need not build nuclear weapons. For two years, Ukrainians have protected us as well as their own people.
Most Americans understand this, and want to help Ukraine. And most elected representatives do, too.
But we are letting the Ukrainians down.
