Very proud of our decision to save Speaker Johnson if MAGA extremists try to oust him. Don’t agree with him on much. But he did the right/courageous thing o budget, Ukraine, etc. We could have played @GOP chaos for laughs or advantage. Instead we’re standing up for progress.

If your head is exploding because a bill that received a strong bipartisan majority was allowed to be voted upon, it might be time to check your commitment to democracy. 🀯🀯

Vance is so convinced Ukraine can’t win because math. If wars were won based on math, this country wouldn’t exist. The American revolution showed the world how a determined people struggling for dignity and independence can beat a much larger and better equipped imperial invading…

With pressing issues like the war in Ukraine & nonproliferation in the Middle East at the forefront, the steadfast support of the US for @IAEAorg is indispensable. It was a pleasure to welcome the bipartisan delegation from @HouseIntel , led by @RepMikeTurner , to the Agency today.

Ukraine aid passes!! Thank goodness. Hopefully this changes morale and results on the battlefield today! Dark day for Putin. Democrats are waving Ukrainian flags on the Floor. Just under half of Republicans voted against #Ukraine aid. Remarkable. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

I’m hearing that given the attack on Israel and the fact that Ukrainians are running out of ammo, the @GOP House majority may not spend the week defending the freedom and liberty of kitchen appliances. But who knows. These guys are hard to predict. #ChurchillorChamberlain

The emergency supplemental funding bill that passed the Senate with 70 votes has funding to replenish Iron Dome. There is no need for the House to craft new legislation or do anything tricky. Just pass the Senate bill next week. Anything else is an intentional delay.
