Didn't work as well as she hoped (?):
"She was promptly booed by colleagues as she formally announced the effort."
Speaker Johnson is still speaker Johnson.
The US House voted to bring up for consideration a bill on aid to Ukraine, 316 voted in favor, 94 against. All amendments will now be considered after which a final vote will take place on Saturday.
Defense Secretary Austin warned that Ukraine’s recent attacks on Russian oil refineries risk impacting global energy markets and urged the country to focus on military targets instead.
"Those attacks could have a knock-on effect in terms of the global energy situation. Ukraine is better served in going after tactical and operational targets that can directly influence the current fight," he emphasized.

When Ukraine has the weapons they need, then discuss Russian Oil Refineries. Shh.. if this isn't another example of Biden administration's slow death defense, then I don't know what is.
A report claiming that Trump has a plan to end the war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to give up territory to Russia was dismissed as "fake news" by Trump's campaign adviser, insisting that Trump will not settle on a peace plan until he is in office and can properly weigh all the options.
A US House vote on Ukraine aid isn’t likely until at least mid-April and possibly later with Speaker Mike Johnson still searching for ways to soften opposition from Republican hardliners, multiple party leadership officials said.

Mike J. is too afraid of Ms. Potato Head and shit britches trump to act on any convictions he may have, although the word "conviction" may be a stretch in this case.
🤷♂️Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, stated that the risks of escalation of the war associated with the supply of ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine have decreased today compared to what they were before.
@noelreports
“the risk of escalation is not as high as maybe it was at the beginning."
"Maybe" the assumed risk never was, not that the situation has changed. If you play the fool, certainly no adversary will stand in your way.
Putin has made new statements regarding the attack at the Crocus City Hall, attributing it to radical Islamists. He criticized the United States for suggesting ISIS involvement and downplaying any connection to Ukraine. Putin suggested the attack may be part of ongoing anti-Russia efforts since 2014 and raised questions about why the terrorists attempted to flee to Ukraine afterward. Additionally, he viewed the attack as fitting into a pattern of intimidation.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled broadcaster RT, claims the attack on the Moscow City Hall has nothing to do with ISIS, but that Ukrainians are behind it.
