I don't understand why a democrat would do this. I would have expected one of the extreme right Republicans to have tried to stop the vote, not a Dem. The bill was strongly supported by the Dems.
No it wasn't. After all the GOP's bullshit, the vote came down to "These Socialists chose funding Ukraine over paying hard working govt employees" and were forced to sign off on a budget that removed all support to Ukraine.
So you think that this Democratic guy pulled the fire alarm because he supported Ukraine funding? That doesn't seem super plausible. Don't get me wrong. I really support Ukraine funding. But I didn't think it was a deal killer for the democrats.
