After Hamasā surprise attack on Oct. 7, Republicans and Democrats in Congress both said they needed to act quickly to help Israel.
At the time, the House was floundering without a speaker, and members cited the necessity of sending immediate aid to a close U.S. ally as a motivating reason for solving the speaker drama.
But five weeks after Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected speaker, and nearly eight weeks since the attack, Congress doesnāt appear any closer to passing an aid packageāfor Israel or for Ukraine, the latter of which has been āweeksā away from running out of weapons for months now.
As Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told The Daily Beast this week, Ukraine needed an aid package in October.
Whoa, the GOP still cannot govern, what a surprise.
Thatās a feature, not a bug.
We donāt know that. They havenāt tried in a long time.
