House of representatives is hereby declared vacant. And with that, Kevin Mccarthys nine month term as speaker was over. The final straw his decision to do a deal with democrats to keep the government open.

They need to know that the next speaker is going to be honest and wont go back on their word. With republicans focusing firmly on themselves, the question of funding for ukraine, which congress controls, remains undecided. It does worry me. And.

Its so important for ukraine to have defending shield for the winter because in winter we will have many attacks by different sides, different kinds of russian missiles
