I pass over what an extraordinary moment of this is. You have a temporary break in

congressional dysfunction. What you saw on the House floor today was basically a

bipartisan coalition government.

The other extraordinary thing is whatever happened with Mike Johnson,

who did drag his feet and lead to these, you know,

so many deaths in Ukraine but somehow did find

religion on Ukraine so this is a really remarkable moment that you have this very very strong bipartisan vote for Israel and for

Ukraine more than 300 votes in defiance of Donald Trump's opposition to this bill.

So somehow they have managed to muddle through.

You know, I don't know Mike Johnson well enough to say, you know,

what's really going on but you know he apparently is

willing to risk his job to do the right thing now this may be a parenthesis and you

know all the caveats are in order here.

Mike Johnson is, was down to Maralago kissing the ring.

These Republicans have all fallen into the line behind Donald Trump.

They will continue to do so.

But at least for today, we have a glimmer of what a

Congress that is willing to be functional a Congress that is willing to do the right

thing to step up at a key moment.

And I have to say that I was completely surprised by Mike Johnson's reversal on this and

his almost Churchillilian declaration that this was the moment when we needed to step up

and defend the world against Vladimir Putin.
