Condi Rice on Iran, in today's WSJ: "Strategic patience is hard, and it isn’t always satisfying. But time is on the side of the U.S. and its allies. Reaching no deal is fine. Reaching a bad deal isn’t"

70% of America supports Ukraine. This Republican does too. It’s time the House do the People’s business and support freedom against an invading dictator.
Six House Republicans on Wednesday crossed the aisle to dislodge a vote on aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, adding to a string of victories by House Democrats through formerly little-used discharge petitions during the 119th Congress. https://t.co/tyFiGCGitq
🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.
@DonLongDeesNuts@LB_XIX Ukraine is defending their homes, language, history and culture. You’re spineless, but they’re not. Israel too is defending their homes… 7 Oct.
@blirblinso@MKnightRaytheon Don Bacon is a con man and the Ukrainosphere is populated by low-information Reagan worshippers who got Ukrainian killed by ignoring Republican sabotage and falling for their endless redemption arc psyops.
Congress must get on the right side of history & support a democracy, free market nation who wants to ally w/ us, and to oppose a thug who is invading its neighbor. We’ve waited long enough to help Ukraine & put sanctions on Russia. This is our Churchill vs Chamberlain moment.
NEW — Speaker Mike Johnson urged House Republicans to vote NO on the Dem-led Russia sanctions discharge bill on the floor Thursday, during their closed door meeting this morning, per sources
He cited his disapproval for the discharge aspect, but also told House Rs the Senate is continuing to negotiate Russia sanctions with the WH — and they should give them space to do that
GLENN GROTHMAN and others raised deep frustrations in the closed-door meeting about several Republicans bucking leadership to force a floor vote on the Russia sanctions and Ukraine aid bill — and other pro-labor and more legislation
GROTHMAN said he always votes with leadership against the discharge bills - but said he may like some of the underlying bills
Several dozen conflicted House Rs are mulling how to vote on the Russia sanctions bill now
Johnson said in response to Grothman’s inquiry/venting to oppose the Russia sanctions bill full stop
This is the US House’s Churchill or Chamberlain moment when it comes to helping a democracy and standing up to an invading thug. Tonight we chose Churchill. We are not done yet though. We have two more votes before this fully passes the House. Moral clarity and freedom must win.
The Congressional Soccer Game is a great annual event hosted by @ussoccerfndn that raises funds for kids’ soccer and encourages healthy, active lifestyles among America’s youth.
With the World Cup in North America just days away, we’re ready to bend it like Bacon!
