Thank you to everyone who called #Congress in support of #Ukraine. You made a difference! Thank you.
Americans, we must ensure the senate moves quickly to approve/finalize.
It’s crucial to understand that the Republicans had the opportunity to pass the bipartisan national security bill, already approved in the Senate. However, they were UNWILLING to do so for six months. They unnecessarily introduced multiple bills, causing further delays in the aid to Ukraine. This must go through the Senate, even though the Senate had already approved a bill that included national security. The Republicans removed the #border security from the bill. Removing billions #potus had for CBP and CBP wanted this badly! Keep this manipulation in mind.
Remember this fuckery.
It is crystal clear that the treason caucus republicans are covered in #Ukrainian blood. MoscowMike Johnson has been stalling Ukraine aid for months, each time giving a different excuse. Traitorous republicans are marked. We will not forget.
Republican traitors are going ape-shit crazy over the #House's vote on aid to #Ukraine. And they're screaming that so many members of #Congress waved #Ukrainian flags after the #vote.
Too Bad. FASCISM LOST. MAGA LOST. PUTIN LOST.
Thank you to every American that called, emailed, wrote to your representative. I salute you. 🫡

The Texas senator’s iHeartMedia deal, which sent over $600,000 to an aligned super PAC, may have broken campaign finance laws—or exploited a new loophole.Justin Miller (The Texas Observer)
"The modern #GOP is supposed to be pro-family, pro-tax-cuts and anti-“waste, fraud and abuse.” So why are #Republican #senators trying to tank a bill that is all three?
In January, lawmakers hammered out a kids-and-companies #tax deal: #Congress would extend a few business tax breaks that had recently expired in exchange for expanding the #ChildTaxCredit. The bipartisan compromise turned out to be a very good bill"
