Mitch McConnell: “Today, the Senate sits for a test on behalf of the entire nation. Failure to help Ukraine stand against Russian aggression now means greater risk that American forces would become involved in conflict.” pic.twitter.com/7BHJDuukJr

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) delivers a soaring oratory in favor of the giant war funding bill. He starts with a riveting tale of Russians torturing Baptists in Ukraine just like during Soviet times, before pivoting seamlessly to a fascinating WWII analogy comparing Putin to Hitler pic.twitter.com/pcrPBn7BKx

Continuing his inspiring argument for the war funding bill, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) praises Trump for “reversing the Obama policy” of appeasing Putin and pushing Ukraine to negotiate — whereas Trump flooded Ukraine with US weapons. “Thank God Trump did that,” Grassley says pic.twitter.com/uFPAoBYCWn

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) praises Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump for the improvements he says they contributed to the War Funding Bill. Sullivan also celebrates how the bill will cause the Ukraine War to escalate even further, by forcing Biden to send long-range missile systems pic.twitter.com/YKPgAqRm42

Bernie Sanders wants to make clear that he strongly supports dumping another $61 billion into Ukraine, and he strongly supports funding SOME weapons systems for Israel, but not others. So, he opposes roughly $9 billion out of the $95 billion war bill. That’s his big, bold stance pic.twitter.com/KheKvVqaWh

Mitch McConnell delivers a thrilling speech. Not dumping $100 billion into war zones around the world would be tantamount to “pulling up the drawbridge” and embracing “the myth of isolationism,” he warns. America’s vaunted “leadership” in global arms sales is also on the line pic.twitter.com/urpDWrHPEw
