country should be furious. but the house speaker, republican mikejohnson felt differently, essentially putting his job on the line to get the bill approved. it's an old military adage but we would rather send bullets to the conflict overseas than our own boys, our troops, and i think this is an important moment, an important opportunity to make that decision. ukraine says it desperately needs help to push back russian troops. the us is already the largest provider of military and humanitarian aid to ukraine, sending over $74 billion in the first two years of the war. this new bill provides more than 60 billion, including money to replenish stocks. almost 1a billion will be used buy advanced weapons and defence articles. the passing of this bill is a major bipartisan moment, something you just don't often see in washington. the next step is for it to get through the senate next week, which won't be too difficult because it's democrat—controlled.
