House Republican moves to force vote on ‘crushing Russia sanctions’ by Laura Kelly - 11/21/25 2:50 PM ET

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) on Friday said he has submitted a discharge petition to force a vote on bipartisan legislation imposing punishing sanctions on countries enabling Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The move comes as President Trump is putting intense pressure on Kyiv to accept a peace proposal widely criticized as favorable toward Moscow.
“This Russian-drafted propaganda must be rejected and disregarded for the unserious nonsense that it is,” Fitzpatrick wrote in a statement on the social platform X.

“Today, we have officially notified both the Clerk of the House and House leadership of our discharge petition to force a vote on crushing Russian sanctions immediately upon our return.”

Oooohhhh.....Dementia Don doesn't like being corrected......

1. I know he's an R, but I posted because it shows dementia don:s losing

Control of the R's. This Congress critter tries to say he's a centrist. This is a dangerous move because his district is 50-50. I hope it means impeachment is possible. It means the ground is moving.

4. I'm from his district

He's a total bullshitter and POS. But on this i agree with. And let me tell you, the ONLY reason he's doing this is because there is a huge eastern European immigrant population here including Ukrainians living here.

2. I'm writing to every congressinal rep/senator that I can get paper for

because: 1) this craven 'fade' on the part of the administration makes me absolutely sick to my stomach!
and 2) because I think this actually might be an issue where a significant portion of Republicans (both in and out of DC) are equally ill at ease - and just might be inclined to break with Dear Leader.

The betrayal of Ukraine is absolutely despicable ...
And I think many people see it in that light.

3. Republicans trying to force support for Ukraine? I thought they were

a rare breed....
