Are there any hopes that enough moderate house republicans would support it? Or will they just buckle under Trump’s pressure like always?
I’m not optimistic
Dont get your hopes up people….
It better fucking pass
unfortunately the next few steps could apparently take days, and next week the senate goes on a break for 2 weeks, and after that the focus is on passing the government funding before the deadline. So this week is their last chance to get this bill to the floor, otherwise ukraine will be waiting for months
Hopefully the three independents will be reasonable.
Now, shift back the focus to house.
Please see Adam Kinzinger’s Emergency post for the next step.

Putin already pulling his credit card for republicans to block.
It will get through the Senate. When it gets to the House, it’s on all of Americans who support Ukraine to put as much pressure as possible, and make as much noise, to push Mike Johnson to put it on the floor for a vote. He doesn’t have to support it personally. Just let it be voted on. If that happens, it will pass.
The senate right now is quite OK, it s the house of representation that block it if i understand.
Does this ukraine bill as a chance to pass in house?
Good news. I love to see America help our democratic allies in their fight against violent authoritarian neighbors.
If you’re an American who wants your country to pass aid for Ukraine, you can make a difference by pressing your government and holding demonstrations. We can coordinate over at r/ActionForUkraine. There’s also [a website](https://stopwarinukraine.com/support-ukraine-write-to-your-reps-in-congress/) to help make it clear that you support Ukraine. Feel free to spread the word as much as you can.
They tied it to literally the *one* thing Republicans can not say “no” to: Israel.
The boot lickers in the house will still not pass it
