It's been over a month since Rep McGovern started his discharge petition to bypass Mike Johnson in the US Congress and get the support package for Ukraine rolling again. In the meantime, the House has mostly just vacationed, while russia bombards Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure. The petiton is up to 195 of the 218 names needed for majority.

It's not just Johnson. Most of the representatives don't care.

@osma Yeah, the issue is the GOP. Most of them have sold their political soul & future to Trump. It's insane!

Sadly, it's not just the GOP either. We know full well the vote would pass with bipartisan support, if it made to the vote. It could, if the rest of the Democrat bench got off their high horse.

There are also a group of Democrats holding the discharge petition up over aid for Israel.
