To Americans, Liberty is not negotiable—it is fundamental. The bipartisan Ukraine Support Act the House passed today was a choice between Liberty and tyranny. Our Free World must stand tall against Putin’s brutality. Today we said we stand with Ukraine and our allies, and Russia must face sanctions.
Putin is counting on America to grow tired, divided, and distracted.
Tonight, the House answered with unity and resolve.
Following the successful bipartisan discharge petition I was proud to help lead, we have passed the Ukraine Support Act—comprehensive legislation to deliver critical support to Ukraine, impose further sweeping sanctions on Russia, and hold Putin accountable for his illegal war of terror.
Ukraine is fighting for its sovereignty and survival, but the stakes do not stop at Ukraine’s borders. Standing with Ukraine is a matter of American security, allied strength, and moral clarity. It tells the world that tyranny will not be met with hesitation, retreat, or silence.
From the start, I have worked to ensure America’s policy is rooted in peace through strength. This legislation gives force to that principle.
Tonight, the House stood on the side of freedom.
Now, the Senate must do the same.
@RepBrianFitz Thank you for speaking up and being firm that Ukraine’s sovereignty and our national security are intertwined. Putin has already had his hands on America’s throat through hybrid information and cyber warfare. We cannot keep allowing him to advance his imperialist dreams.
@Elsinbama@RepDonBacon No, that’s Trump who sits on a Golden Toilet. He’s robbing American taxpayers blind for all the monuments, ballrooms, and lining his pockets with payouts for his lawsuits, etc.
@Elsinbama@RepDonBacon Ruzzia is a national security threat to the whole world. They have already engaged in hybrid warfare against the West for years. Do you support the destruction of the West the way Ruzzia has destroyed the brains of the Ruzzian people?
@SennicksLewis@RepThomasMassie Still the same. Ukraine was and is not threat to Ruzzia. And who is a massive threat to Gaza? Trump & Netanyahu. I’m not happy with them flattening Gaza so they can build a Trump resort.
@RepDonBacon Thank you for your work on this bill, @RepDonBacon. I’m so disappointed that my own Republican Representative was not one of the 18 Republicans to support Ukraine.
@SennicksLewis@RepThomasMassie I’m not much into obscenity. Take it out of replies to me. Anyone who supports Putin’s reign of imperialist terror and murder supports evil.
@TheChickyLittle@RepThomasMassie You chose the immorality of continuing to support Putin’s genocidal terror campaign against human beings who happen to live in Ukraine. Anyone who supports Putin supports evil.
@LFarmquist17545@RepThomasMassie 18 Republicans voting with Democrats makes it a bipartisan bill. Several Republicans were co-sponsors. A precious few who understand the cost to our national security of supporting Putin’s terror campaign against the Ukrainian people when they should support Ukraine.
@RepThomasMassie The Ukrainian people have suffered for far too long- since 2014, when Putin started his imperialist campaign against Ukraine. Republicans, safe for a few, have chosen Putin. It is a disgrace to our nation.
@RepThomasMassie You support Putin’s reign of terror when you vote against the Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are being hunted day & night with drones in a terror operation called Human Safari. Every day, apartment blocks, hospitals, shopping centers, & churches are chosen by Putin for destruction.
@RepDonBacon@Pharmspice I called @RepTomBarrett’s office and told them how dire the situation is for my Ukrainian friends. I asked for him to please support Ukraine.
@reppocalypse@jamestalarico No, he isn’t. You just choose to emulate men who lie, cheat, and abuse women and children. It’s time to once against value honesty, integrity, respect for others, compassion, and empathy. Real men exhibit these qualities.
@jamestalarico@Gitchimama Thank you, thank you, thank you, @jamestalarico! I have been fortunate to have had a father who demonstrated immense integrity and service to others. I am married to such a man as well. It’s so sad to see our “leaders” lifting up males who lie, cheat, and abuse others.
@teresa42360@CalltoActivism@lorenza71319 He lifted his arm at the end of the video. Maybe he was trying to hide his hand?
If his right arm had become paralyzed due to a stroke, he would likely have also lost his ability to talk.
