  1. Sadly, most Republicans still voted against it, but luckily every Democrat was there to stand with Ukraine and the sane Republicans. Make no mistake, MAGA is no friend to Ukraine.

  2. > Once approved, the package will go to the US Senate, where it is likely to be passed on Tuesday. Mr Biden has then promised to sign it immediately.

  3. Glad to see this passed. Whoever voted for Israel aid and didn’t vote for Ukraine aid is just a POS. I could sort of understand being opposed to all foreign aid (even though I disagree), but supporting aid to Israel while opposing aid to Ukraine is a bitch move.

  4. Just has to go to the Senate I think that should be no problem and then on to the president’s desk for signing.

  5. now if europe would finally stop buying Russian gas and oil maybe Ukraine could catch a break and make some progress…

  7. Now there’s this little thing called the Senate it has to get past

  9. I’ve got the final vote counts. I got them live from CNN. Started 1:25 PM EST! Finished 2:00 PM EST!

    House just passed H.R. 8036. Yea-385. Nay-34. NV-11.

    **House just passed H.R. 8038! Yea-360. Nay-58.**

    **House just passed H.R. 8035! Yea-311. Nay-112. Pres-1. NV-7.**

    House just passed H.R. 8034. Yea-366. Nay-58. NV-8.

    And here are the breakdowns on which Congressperson voted for which bill.

    H.R. 8036

    H.R. 8034

    [https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024152](https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024152)

    Spread the word.

  13. Question: How long now before the US actually starts giving aid again?

    This was already approved in the Senate right. So that means the only thing that still needs to happen is for Biden to sign it before it comes into effect. Is there some legal minimum time that has to be observed or can he sign it immediately today?
