Ukraine and Israel Aid

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, it has been 687 days since Putin invaded Ukraine.

It has been 379 days since we secured our last aid package for the Ukrainians.

It has been 97 days since Hamas launched its brutal terror attack on Israel and took numerous Israelis and Americans hostage.

It has been 79 days since Mike Johnson became speaker, 71 days since he made aid to Israel contingent on completely unrelated partisan IRS cuts, breaking not only 75 years of bipartisan precedent but also the principles of the One Subject at a Time Act, which he sponsored back in 2017.

Madam Speaker, how many days will it be until Congress stands up for freedom and democracy once again? The answer ought to be today.

Instead, we find ourselves mired in the chaos sown by a majority party that refuses to give us a clean vote.

It must stop or I fear democracy's days may be numbered.

Let us act and let us act now for the Ukrainians and for the Israelis, to oppose criminal invasions and terrorism.
