Summary

The Biden administration has moved to forgive $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine as part of a $9.4 billion loan package authorized by Congress in April to support Ukraine’s government during its war with Russia.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the decision, which Congress could still block.

The Senate is set to vote on a disapproval motion introduced by Senator Rand Paul, though bipartisan support for Ukraine remains strong.

President Biden is expediting aid ahead of his term’s end, amid concerns President-elect Trump may restrict future support.

    That was a fine approach the first time around. But after almost a decade of GOP fuckery and apologists trying to blur the lines between the two parties, I’m with the guy calling out how fucking stupid it is to not call that jackass out for being a fucking idiot for trying to hide the fact that the GOP, and only the GOP, blocked all of the student debt relief that Biden tried to get through.

    The time for games is over.

    Adults are adults and responsible for their choices. Anyone that voted Trump or supports the GOP are traitors to democracy, and should not be handled with kid gloves anymore.

      Maybe the democrats should do less warmongering if they want people to tell them apart. This last election they got endorsed by the fucking Cheneys.

      Imagine being president and being like ‘oh well the senate parliamentarian (that my own party appointed) said no’
