Republican Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, situationally one of the good guys when it comes to Ukraine aid, on Tuesday opened up a discharge petition to signatures to do an end-run around Jesus dork Speaker Mike Johnson and get critical military supplies sent to the beleaguered ally as they suffer setbacks on the battlefield against Russia, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports.
The bill, originating in the Senate, also funds military support for Israel and Taiwan. All is needed are 218 signatures to get it passed, though some of the other specifics remain unclear to us.
In related news, NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard points out that the Trump campaign has not pushed back on Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban’s claim that Donald told him privately that “not another penny” of American aid would go to Ukraine should the Orange God Emperor reclaim his throne. This is as if it wasn’t already clear enough that Trump’s foreign policy goal is total Russian victory.
