“I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.” ~ Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇸

#Repost @weareukraine.info with @use.repost . . . With 311 votes in favor, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill encompassing nearly $61 billion in aid to Ukraine on April 20, 2024, after months of political infighting.

All 210 Democrats voted in favor of the package, while the Republicans exhibited a nearly even split with 112 votes against and 101 in favor. Now, the bill will be sent onwards to the U.S. Senate where it’s expected to be subject to a vote on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Subject to its passage there, the bill will be passed on to U.S. President Joe Biden for final approval.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the U.S. House of Representatives in a statement on X. “I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track,” Zelenskyy wrote. “The vital US aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger. Just peace and security can only be attained through strength. We hope that bills will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden’s desk. Thank you, America!”

Good news for South Dakota's so-called "bully breeds" and their owners.

A bill to keep the city from banning specific breeds was advanced by a SD panel.

Supporters say owners are responsible for attacks, not the specific breed.
