This is a VERY good thing.

And another big F-U to the felon.

As the numbers came in one Republican apparently chickened out (the Republican Yeas dropped from 19 to 18)

Republican Yea 18, Nay 194
Democratic Yea 207, Nay 1
Independent Yea 1

Not Voted:
Republican 5
Democratic 4

226 195

1. I'm hoping for the best but still not ready to celebrate

Ya never know what detours pop up on the way

3. I'm hoping this will kick the Senate version out of procedural limbo.

The Senate Bill (S. 2592) was introduced July 31, 2025, by Sen. Ben Cardin. It has not received a committee vote or floor consideration.

Yes, there are road blocks to overcome, not the least of which would be a veto.

However, legislation that declares support for Ukraine as the moral imperative it is, is a step in the right direction.

Even if the amount to be provided in support falls woefully short, it is a step that is important. It is a statement that the good will of the American people can only be silenced for so long by a psychopath with no morals or values.

8. I have been an absolute supporter of Ukraine since they were invaded the day before my birthday, 2022

I had hope this would not happen and was sickened when Putin attacked, unprovoked. This war has its ups and downs for Ukraine but they’ve persevered and used their ingenuity and courage to literally pick thru the scraps to defend themselves. That this administration has mocked and disrespected President Z, only makes me support them more. I don’t understand the logic behind pulling our support for them, then turn it back on and it must be maddening for Ukraine but also very leery of our commitment. All the equipment and weapons we’ve used against Iran could have gone to a real cause for Ukraine 🇺🇦

Thanks for letting me vent..

10. Consider this too. Had we remained a partner with Ukraine ...

... just think of the extent to which we would have enhanced our own military readiness.

The thing is, Ukrainian's amazing innovations in the largest land war in Europe since WWII have completely changed the face of modern warfare.

Meanwhile, under the felon, we're stuck in a kind of stone age with a caveman Secretary of Defense. We haven't merely failed in our legal and moral obligations to protect Ukraine (and thereby protect NATO allies), we have failed to partner on critical advances. Worse, we've ignored those advances while a preening man-baby blathers on about making the military more "masculine."

WE would ALL be safer today if we had continued to invest in and partner with Ukraine in its battle against Russia's aggression and atrocities.

13. I 100% agree and well said

2. Expect trump-hicseth-pulte to divert any funds to putin

with a small "gratuity" off the top and bottom.

5. This is the part where people call their Senators, R AND D, and demand action on the Senate version.

The Senate version, the Supporting Ukraine Act of 2025 (S.2592) has been languishing after being referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Call your Senators.

Call members of the Committee on Foreign Relations, even if you aren't a constituent. Just make it clear you are calling them in their capacity as a member of the committee.

And hammer Chair Risch. Now that the House has acted, it it time for them to vote their version out and put it to a floor vote.

This is about the United States putting itself on the right side of history again. It's a commitment to defend Ukraine in the largest land war in Europe since WWII. If Ukraine falls, NATO nations WILL be the next targets of Russian aggression and horrific violations of human rights.

4. Let's see if Trump veto's.

Putin and Iran signed a $25BB deal for nuclear power development, LOL.

6. We've gotta kick the Senate in the ass to get there.

The Senate version, the Supporting Ukraine Act of 2025 (S.2592) has been languishing after being referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Call your Senators. Encourage others to do the same!

Call members of the Committee on Foreign Relations (listed below), even if you aren't a constituent. Just make it clear you are calling them in their capacity as a member of the committee.

We need to hammer Chair Risch. Now that the House has acted, it it time for them to vote their version out and put it to a floor vote.

This is about the United States putting itself on the right side of history again. It's a commitment to defend Ukraine in the largest land war in Europe since WWII. If Ukraine falls, NATO nations WILL be the next targets of Russian aggression and horrific violations of human rights.

We'll cross the veto bridge when we get there.

7. Rep. Ilhan Omar was the lone Democrat who voted against it for some reason

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. That's really weird. I assume she will explain her thinking.

[pat_k]

11. I'm hoping it was because it was not enough.

Because it wasn't.

But you have to start somewhere.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

14. The Democratic NAY has to be PA... but why did 4 democrats not vote!

Fetterman can't come up for reelection fast enough for me!

[pat_k]

15. A previous reply indicates it was Rep. Ilhan Omar. I'm hoping she was a NAY because the amount is too small.

But I haven't seen a statement from her office.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

16. Good grief!! She's from my state!! Can't believe she'd be against this!
