Summary

The Biden administration has moved to forgive $4.7 billion in U.S. loans to Ukraine as part of a $9.4 billion loan package authorized by Congress in April to support Ukraine’s government during its war with Russia.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller confirmed the decision, which Congress could still block.

The Senate is set to vote on a disapproval motion introduced by Senator Rand Paul, though bipartisan support for Ukraine remains strong.

President Biden is expediting aid ahead of his term’s end, amid concerns President-elect Trump may restrict future support.

      Why didn’t Biden simply stack the Supreme Court with more justices? The conservative court presided by John Roberts has also shown zero compunctions for undermining the cornerstones of American legality. So why is the Biden admin playing along? Why are they constantly feigning weakness at every opportunity to be strong? Are they weak or simply apathetic?

      Biden has been granted Kingly powers and impunity. He has done nothing with them. Etiquette and decorum are window dressing of the past. He is failing America at this most critical juncture, and it’s 100% incumbent on citizens to call him out for this level of capitulation.
