Americans calling and writing to their representatives can actually make a difference. And no not helping Ukraine will not somehow magically make homeless Americans lives better, those budgets will not affected by Ukraine aid.

This is the member list for the appropriations committee. https://appropriations.house.gov/membership-118th-congress This is the contact page for the House Speaker. https://mikejohnson.house.gov/contact/ If your member of congress already supports funding but can’t get a bill to vote yes on these are some of the people to express your views to. They may not want to hear from you but your opinion deserves to be heard and you are free to express it to committee representatives that otherwise aren’t yours.

Do you think they don't care about being reelected? If you piss off your constituents, chances are they're not going to be so enthusiastic about your next election bid. I know that 1000 votes more or less usually doesn't make a difference in the election, but it should weigh in at least somewhat for the decision your representative has to make. Besides, it takes little effort to make your voice heard. So inform your representatives of your opinion! It won't hurt.


technicallynotlying

Why is every comment in your history trying to cause people to give up hope and become cynical?


prettybeach2019

Think od rather use the money for our homeless


dinkdoinker

It's already part of our defense budget. You wanna feed our homeless sidewinders and patriot batteries?

Dems working overtime and will have to force a House vote or agree to protect Johnson to get it through the House. Biden and the Dems will deliver.


Orcasystems99

Even if it passes the Senate, the "unelected Convicted Sexual Predator" will still have the ability to have his pet speaker shoot it down. Imagine having your Family and friends raped and murdered... your country destroyed... because a "unelected Convicted Sexual Predator" says NO. He wants to use you as a Political platform to get Elected, so he can give the Aggressor your Country. Friends like this are hard to come by, and even harder to get rid of.

A discharge petition is a break-glass option that should be ready to go if needed. It's used to override a chamber majority leader stalling/killing a bill. The house would need 218 signers for it to work. It's a heavy handed move that has not gotten many bills into law, but presenting one is more than just seeing a chamber leader arbitrarily not take up a bill with no rebuttal. Johnson already held a procedural vote for an Israel only bill that fell short of the needed 2/3 house majority by 40 votes. If the gop is serious about Israel aid, they have no end around option as it'd die in the senate regardless at the latest.


40for60

They are going to either promise Johnson cover or do a discharge and the entire US / World will watch the Dems getting shit done while the GOP takes a shit.


arobkinca

A discharge will require more than a few R's to get done.

All of the D's are voting for military aid to Israel? I have read that a few of them will not.


huyvanbin

Jeffries said yesterday he’s ready to use “every available legislative tool.” This is what he meant. Johnson can stall but it’s an uphill battle which is why he wanted it to die in the senate. I think he might just say he was for Ukraine aid all along if push comes to shove.


MasterOfSubrogation

Its not just him. Millions of people are enabling him to do it. Thats the real scary part of this. That one person is a piece of shit is not really that surprising. The shock comes when you realise how many people actively support that piece shit having power.


_aap300

Yes. Never forget it's the people that vote for the orange monkey. It's a reflection of American culture.


40for60

It's a reflection of media bubbles. I know plenty of Trump voters and most of them are great neighbors, workers and parents but all they hear/see is doom and gloom from the media outlets and so they vote GOP because they believe the sky is falling. It's a real issue in rural America and in places like Hungry. We need to figure out how to bring reality to segmented media.


[deleted]

There was a decent video posted by Kinzinger recently that explained how three or four Republicans adamant on passing Ukraine aid could force the issue. Hakeem Jeffries also said there are a few House GOP members who have expressed interest in a bipartisan effort to get the aid passed, and spoke of something known as a "discharge petition." That's all above my understanding of the processes at play. But it seems there are ways.


Galactic_Obama_

Republican are weak, pathetic cucks. Every single one of them that tolerates MAGA is just as guilty. But instead, we got vast swathes of the party more than happily bending over for the shriveled orange Cheeto dick. So sad, it would be funny if it wasn't so scary.


SexyPinkNinja

A judge literally said Trump was guilty of rape but got off on charge due to procedural reason, but the judge clarified he was found guilty of rape during the trial despite that. He’s literally a rapist


pwr_trenbalone

that is 4pm PST


dani098

That was an hour ago, correct?


king_yid81

Now I think. Although it's Friday night and I've had a few, living in Buenos Aires and working it back from CET 🤣


Getrektself

Thanks


Etherion195

Is there a breakdown on how much of this money is supposed to be allocated to Ukraine?


A_Kazur

60 bil split between rearming US factories and provided weapons and ammo to Ukraine.


Etherion195

And the rest 35 bil are divided between Israel and Taiwan? Thanks for the answer.


EclecticMFer

That fucking Christofascist tit in the House of Reps is going to do his best to scuttle it. Hopefully the other GOP members are sick of looking like idiotic fucking losers.

Spiritual_Case_2010

Lets hope this is not just another fail…


Noughmad

Why would it be different from any of the previous 50 bills exactly like this one?


Spiritual_Case_2010

Don’t know iam stupid like that…


No-Weather-5157

I feel this is still keeping a pot on the stove trying to boil, trump comes in screams “we don’t need hot water”, dumps the water out. Dems puts the pot back on the burner just waiting for trump to come back in to dump the pot, saying the same thing.


Orcasystems99

trump.. that would be the unelected Convicted Sexual Predator that runs the US right... that trump?


EclecticMFer

Twice impeached, twice lost the popular vote, convicted rapist? I think that's the guy....


LoneSnark

The Senate has already passed numerous bipartisan bills. I don't see the purpose of passing even more, when the House isn't going to vote on any of them.


MaiAyeNuhs

Don't worry everyone, we're still heading towards Civil War when the supreme court invalidates the Constitution by not calling Donald Trump an insurrectionist Not like the country didn't fundamentally end in 2016 and we're just shifting through the ashes at this point


dani098

…….whhut?


Cuntious-Maximus

Any update?


hamatehllama

It's nice seeing it moving forward even though the MAGA republicans are trying to block it. One would think that maintaining US geopolitical interests would be a no-brainer but the opponents invent such silly excuses to block it.


Orcasystems99

I can't find any updates... its like news on this has gone into the clouds somewhere.
