[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

My friend and partner, the late Senator Lindsey Graham, and I took up this fight together, united in the belief that America and the free world could not stand by while Putin wages his war of terror against Ukraine.

86 Senators voted for the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. President Zelensky supports it. Vladimir Putin opposes it. That should tell us everything we need to know.

This is not Ukraine’s fight alone. There are moments when the principles we speak of—freedom and democracy, and the refusal to surrender either to tyranny—require something of us. This is one of those moments.

Today, the House must stand with Ukraine—and stand on the side of freedom.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Saint Augustine described our hearts as restless. That restlessness is oriented towards heaven, whose doors are open to us as a result of the incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we enter into the dynamism of His love and grace, Jesus will be victorious in us—not just at the hour of our death, but also today, right now, and every day hereafter. #GeneralAudience

☀️TOP in @PunchbowlNews AM: With unemployment up, prices high and health costs set to spike, House GOP moderates are at a crossroads with leadership. Vulnerable Republicans say extending Obamacare subsidies is a political must — but Johnson isn't budging.

This is a plan that actually makes sense.
