This symbolizes modern warfare: this Russian tank got stung by a tiny mosquito at an inconvenient spot and exploded with rage

The Senate’s procedural vote on the foreign aid bill is being delayed by Republicans complaining they can’t offer amendments to it.

Eric Schmitt, of Missouri, and Utah’s Mike Lee are accusing the Democratic majority leader, Chuck Schumer, of effectively railroading through his version of the bill “with minimal debate and perhaps no amendments”, Lee said.

From the same feed:

Republican Lee insists, as also extremist House Republicans who opposed the bill last week did, that money for Ukraine is unpopular.

Bernie Sanders, independent senator for Vermont, says he agrees with Lee.
He says he wants to offer two amendments, one to ensure there’s no money for Israel’s “war machine”. The second is removing a block on aid money for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), which Israel says has been infiltrated by “Hamas terrorists” stealing funds.

The Senate Republicans have filibustered against Ukraine aid before

The US Senate held a procedural vote on aid to Ukraine

More than 60 senators supported the motion of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to “end the debate,” allowing the adoption of a legislative package with the help of Ukraine through an abbreviated procedure.

Before that, Republican Senator Mike Lee introduced an amendment that could have delayed consideration of the bill, but it was rejected by a simple majority.

High chance that the bill passes this night. Just few of the senators-freaks who are volunteering to speak about how bad it is for USA helping Ukraine.

Rublican senator J.D. Vance admits he is being called a Putin stooge and instead of explaining why he thinks he isn't one, starts talking about Iraq 😂

Republican Lindsey Graham asks the senators to vote for the foreign aid package to help Israel against Iran. Subsequently, he also noted that in his view Ukraine is a vital interest for the US 👍👍

Lindsey now uses sophisticated rhetoric in an attempt to flip MAGA 😂

Just now a crazy cat lady was speaking. She said she wants to vote yes, but doesn't want to pay for the aid package, so she will vote no

BTW the cats are AI, but you could literally see them in your inner eye when you were listening to her

The voting is not finished, but has already progressed to a point where the foreign aid package has a clear 2/3 majority.
