Seems the logjam on US Ukraine aid is finally coming to an end.

Mike Johnson has announced they are putting the bill text out very shortly today

Final passage vote scheduled for Saturday evening.

No changes from what Johnson laid out Monday.

Full statement from Johnson here. Three bills for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan will be brought to the floor under a single rule that will allow for amendments.

H.R.2 will be part of its own border bill under a separate rule.

Johnson is also clearly under a lot of pressure to get this done as a number of House Republicans supporting Ukraine and Israel are clearly nearing the end of their patience at this point. If he doesn't succeed on this plan many Republicans will likely jump on the Discharge petition.

Ukraine Bill text is now out. It has been described as virtually identical to the Senate Ukraine plan but with some revisions on economic aid and provision of ATACMS.

Revisions in Johnsons plan

Economic aid as a forgivable loan at the discretion of the president. 50% forgivable in November, 50% in 2026.

Asking for, not requiring, long-range ATACMS

Reported that Matt Gaetz now expects the bill to pass. He's not too thrilled about it. He feels like House Republicans have surrendered.
