Matt Gaetz's constituents produce Javelins.

Jim Jordan's constituents produce Strykers.

Anna Luna's constituents produce HIMARS.

Scott Perry's constituents produce Bradleys.

Yet all four oppose the Ukraine aid that funded those projects — and they're not the only ones.

New research from AEI shows that the majority of Ukraine aid is going to 122 defense production lines across 65 congressional districts to support Ukraine's defense effort.

However, several of the representatives benefitting are vocal opponents of aid. Image

Marjorie Taylor-Greene's amendments to the foreign aid bills:

1. Members who vote for Ukraine aid must conscript in the Ukrainian Army

2. Israel aid will be used for the development of "space laser technology" on the Southern border

No, I did not make this up, she's this insane:

Israel aid: ..

Ukraine aid: ..amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/GRE…
amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/Con…
Another MTG amendment to Ukraine aid:

No Ukraine aid can be expended until Ukraine "closes all bio-laboratories."

How's life as a Russian citizen? Free speech paradise as expected?

Oh. Image

This post made a lot of people angry, but the reply section is a fascinating dive into the most prevalent anti-Ukraine talking points:

• "Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"
• "US aid is money laundering"

Neither are particularly compelling, a thread. Image
"Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"

Good news, they're not!

Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90% is going to Americans. Image
Aid is being injected directly into the economies of several states and reviving defense production capabilities that we desperately need as China rapidly builds up militarily.

The weapons we end up sending to Ukraine are being replaced domestically with modern equipment.

CODEPINK is an explicitly pro-Assad, pro-Putin, and pro-CCP organization partially bankrolled by a pro-CCP millionaire, which the New York Times recently reported.

Pelosi was obviously referring to the New York Times report + the protesters were all white women. Be serious.
I don't think people understand that Pelosi (and many other members of Congress) are very aware of CODEPINK mostly by force because CODEPINK has been shoving themselves in members' faces for decades at this point.
Imagine you had none of this context watching that video of Pelosi — did anyone not stop to think for a second that it would be very weird and random for Pelosi to tell a bunch of old white women to go back to their HQ in China for no reason? Let's use critical thinking.
