I am grateful to our friends at Space for Humanity for bringing this idea to us, and to Sen. Kelly and our co-leads for working together to recognize these extraordinary astronauts.
The speaker is a friend, I admire him, but if he won’t let legislation come to the floor that the majority supports, this is an avenue.
We’ve waited 18 months and they’ve done nothing. I look forward to the speaker submitting a better bill. If he’s serious. I was tired of the excuses … history is being written and it will be a dark chapter if we don’t help Ukraine win.
I think that's not good for America. It's not good for our national security, and we are allies.
There's a good versus evil here, and America should be, you know, unabashedly for the right side here, the democracy, the country that wants free markets.
I do support it. We cannot produce enough Patriots right now to handle what we're doing on Iran to provide.
I think he was wrong. He says he's pro-Ukraine, but the actions speak louder than words.
It's not good for our national security, and we are allies. We have to work together to counter Russia, to counter China.

“Are we going to stand with good or are we going to stand with evil? That’s what this is about tonight,” he said.
Are we going to stand with good or are we going to stand with evil? That's what this is about tonight.
I don't know if they'll pass this bill, but they're going to now know that we could pass something.

This decision is needed now. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night with ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles, and we better be there to help them, or in the history books it’s gonna say, ‘United States failed when it’s most…
Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this…
