"The [US] Senate voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to move ahead with $95 billion in war aid to #Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, bringing the bill to the brink of passage after months of delays.

In a sweeping 80-19 vote, the #USSenate overwhelmingly voted to advance the measure in a step hailed by the Senate majority leader as “one of the greatest achievements the Senate has faced in years”.
“Because here is real danger in what Katie Britt did. And I want to take a moment and sit in the danger and talk about the fact that she weaponized someone's story, not to actually get something done, not to make someone's life better, but to score political points.

Why? Because, to begin with, we are seriously struggling to keep #democracy afloat "for as long as it takes" and, in order to defend democracy, we must achieve a resounding Ukrainian #victory.
That's why oligarchs, terrorists, extremists and dictators are ALL so invested in stopping war-time investment in European #security in the Ukrainian front.
@joaocosta I work in logistics for the US Army as a contractor. We have everything earmarked and ready to go. The problem is that the US Congress won't release the money. If you want #Ukraine to win, then contact your congressman and your senator. #uscongress#ussenate
