Ironically MTG explains her opposition to Ukraine bill as needing money on USA first. Name a SINGLE bill she has supported that has given ANY money to US.

[bobsyouruncle]

Who is going to put a motion in for MTG to vacate?

[DavidJ]

MTG is going to receive a strongly worded letter from poootin over her failure. 😂

[johnstone]

"She's a powerful member of the she isn't. She's just an empty barrel that makes a lot of noise. That was very clearly demonstrated by yesterday's vote.

[wcwright]

MTG is loud, not powerful. Amazing for Johnson that now he knows what we, who don’t get intelligence briefings, could see has come around.

[leonheyhey]

Margie, Margie, Margie. The GOP is turning its back on you and even FOX news says you're crazy! Please resign!

[cindyadkins]

Why isn’t MTG ousted? She is on the side of a known enemy—Russia. How is she not a traitor? Thank God that the bills passed in the House. Ukraine and Israel need our help.

Q: How many House Republicans can you fit into a clown car?

A: All of them

[suemccord]

I believe Mike's visit to the skiff to see what intelligence agencies know changed his mind. He came out with a pale face and a new attitude about Aid. Hallelujah 🎉🎉🎉

[sarabeth]

MTG should skip the hair coloring (which looks so fake) and spend it on psychiatric care. That would be money well spent.

[marvink]

So Johnson went from voting based on ignorance and dogma to voting based on actual facts and reasonable analysis. What does this have to say about his MAGA colleagues? Isn’t it funny how shedding the bright light of reality can transform a person.

[DavidJ]

Poootin is punching the air right about now. 😂

[BeachPeach]

Didn't the House Just Come Back from a Recess?! 🙄

[marcopalazzo]

Her voice certainly matched her face. I tried to listen to her and she gave me a headache within about 20 seconds.

[Ellie]

Congressman Garcia is absolutely correct. It isn't up to democrats to save magat Mike's speakership. All congress members are responsible for doing what is in the best interest of Americans, and that means electing a responsible speaker, which means voting for Jeffries.

[willie]

I need some aid in the form of tax cut for middle class here in the US, too.

[ws_odysseus]

Rep. Robert Garcia one of the finest Congressman, Bravo!

[rfmyers]

Charity begins at home..in our own hurting country

[wu]

When Mexico was working hard for border control, it is nothing wrong to pass the Ukraine aid. I think that GOP wrongfully accused Johnson. Johnson is the balance between western democracy and Trump-Putin alliance.

Moscow Marjorie must be angry from the time she wakes up till she goes to sleep 😡
