Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday announced that the upper chamber would hold a vote on a bill to fund Ukraine and bolster border security next week, indicating the legislation would become public over the weekend.
Senate lawmakers have for weeks been working on a legislative package to pair funding for Kyiv to fend off the Russian invasion with border security measures to help the nation contend with an unprecedented surge in illegal border crossings.
"I plan to file cloture on the motion to proceed to the vehicle by Monday, leading to the first vote on the national security supplemental no later than Wednesday," he said, according to The Hill.

Their plan is to get the bill through the Senate and to the House.
And then use a discharge petition to force a House vote.
To get the bill to Biden's desk.

Joke of the year: The Dems want to bolster border security.
After 9.6M ‘migrants’ have already gotten in.

Dead on arrival at the House. Biden just wants to move money around to those Dem states...places like Chicago, NYC, Ca..payoff money...Nothing to do with stopping the invasion and wonder if there's a path to citizenship in there, too. Johnson wants HR2 passed...and separate from Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan...
Discharge petition...never heard of it.
To: Chode
Naw...because he can open it the next day...and it’s not going to stop illegals..

To: DesertRhino
When and if the House takes it up, they will put a number to it...That's the origination part...
they can go back and forth all they want...

Any Republican Senator voting for this should be pummeled. If they are up for reelection in Nov they should be voted out.
