If this law passes then Georgia's aspirations to join EU can be kissed goodbye. Have to wonder if that's why some of these MPs are so insistent on passing it. Slight Ukraine 2014 vibes, Russian puppets trying to move the country away from EU. The Ukrainians kicked their pro-Russian puppets out...Will Georgia do the same.

- 4 bills: Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and Tiktok + REPO Act etc.
- One rule with an amendment process
- Ukraine structured as a loan w/ “accountability” language
- It will happen this week
Reaction from GOP: “More support than opposed.”
Ukraine...Israel...Taiwan...And...Tiktok...
Loan with accountability language...Why is Ukraine's aid a loan but Israel isn't? Israel has a much higher GDP than Ukraine, is in a much better position to pay it off, is already stacked with very modern military equipment and gets defended by the air-force of America, UK and France! If anything it should be the Israel bill that's a loan, not Ukraine's, it makes no sense!
House Democrats’ early reactions: confusion, frustration – and a desire to see more details.

One tells me: “Need to know what’s in it. But why is he making it so complicated?” https://t.co/2T2LXHIczG
...Not sure why the Democrats are acting surprised.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz says he’s “got to talk to leadership” before deciding on whether he’d vote for the foreign aid rule.

But, he says, “Republicans have … played politics with this, now, for six months. I would hope that my colleagues don’t play politics with it either.”
The Freedom Lunatics are already crying.
All this shit for 6 months so Johnson could try to please everyone, was for absolutely nothing.
The useless fuck should have just passed the Senate bill.

Another HFC member non-committal on the rule: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna tells me “there are a few things that I want to see come to the floor, but I just think they’re going about this the whole wrong way.” https://t.co/qcD9BfrUO7

Dozens of servicemen from three battalions who spoke to the Kyiv Independent stressed that the deficit is so critical that in their units, which number 300 to 600 infantrymen, they only have one M113 and BMP each – jeopardizing evacuation.

US House speaker Johnson will introduce four separate bills with aid to Israel, Ukraine, the Indo-pacific and national security. The last one will include a proposal to help pay for Ukraine aid by seizing Russian assets. The bill text is expected to be released in the coming days… pic.twitter.com/VhCHVGZipd

MASSIE told Johnson in front of the entire House Republican Conference that he should clean the barn and resign or else he’ll be vacated. https://t.co/hPMthGw9RW
