US: House Democrats formally file discharge petition to force vote on Senate Ukraine aid package (www.cbsnews.com)

The Democratic discharge petition would require 218 signatures to force a vote on the aid package on the House floor.

This means that the Democrats would need some number of Republicans to sign the petition, because they will lose some of their own votes because the Senate aid package includes aid to Israel.

Republican bastards have filed a competing discharge petition without humanitarian aid, that even if passed would delay aid by weeks or months if it passes.

I suspect that the Republican measure contains Lizard People aid.

Under normal circumstances, sure. But when the support is specifically for weapons being used to massacre women and children in Gaza, then it becomes tough to swallow.
