I had earlier included Speaker Mike Johnson when posting about Putin’s pals. But now it seems he has grown into his job as a leader in a divided country by moving the Ukraine fund bill and others through the House I probably disagree with him on most issues but here he has done the right thing and I thank him for it.
I’ve been writing about some Republican actions I find disturbing:
Putin’s Pals screw Ukraine and the border with a single move
The Appeasement Caucus
I thought I should update this blog on the status of some of Putin’s Pals. Since Mike Johnson has refused to let the House of Representatives vote on aid to Ukraine, we don’t know the views of all House members. But Speaker Johnson seems to be one of Putin’s Pals.

It appears that quite a few Republicans want to eliminate US aid to Ukraine. I previously called this group The Appeasement Caucus. Just appease Putin and let him take Ukraine.

This may be the intent of some who don’t think we should be supporting Ukraine. But others are just holding the aid hostage to try to get what they want in immigration policy.

Ukrainian refugees are welcome in Canada.
Where is the US welcome? The refugees are streaming into Europe. We are trying to end this war but are we willing to help the victims of this war?
As of this morning there is no mention of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukrainians on the TPS website.
It seems to me that the united states has granted that status to many counties where there has been war or other disasters. I hope Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorka or President Biden will tell us if this is something they will approve or why not.
The people of Ukraine are facing a major disaster and it would be nice to know if they are eligible.
