The Democrats are in a quandary. They cannot get Ukraine aid unless Johnson advances it. The neo-cons are also in the same quandary. If Johnson does what these two factions want, he could be removed like McCarthy was. As long as Johnson doesn't advance it, the bill goes nowhere. If the two factions want the bill to pass, they'll have to change the rules, but will Johnson advance that? He can't without risking the same thing.
They are stuck unless Johnson moves the bill. He can't because he will lose the speakership if he does. Even if there's a shut down, so what? A shut down may be the only way to slow down an out of control DC.

Let the Democrats try to pass these aid bills via discharge petition. Perhaps they don't have the votes.
Just pass the Israel aid stand alone bill please.
