What took this guy so long?

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Surge, your guide to the top 10 Easter eggs hidden inside the most anticipated release of the year: the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.

All of 2024 has been leading to this very week in Congress, in which Speaker Mike Johnson finally made a “play call” on Ukraine aid that sent the House into a tizzy. In the Senate, meanwhile, Chuck Schumer received the House’s articles of impeachment, hid them under his shirt while no one was looking, and declared impeachment over. Sen. Tom Cotton found a new way to encourage human conflict. Donald Trump, potentially, slept.

And yet, we can’t help but ask where this Mike Johnson was earlier. The Senate passed its national security assistance bill—which is quite close to the package Johnson has cobbled together in the House—a couple of months ago, which was already quite late. Ukraine hason ammunition for some time, allowing Russia to make steady advances. Johnson appears to have had an epiphany that he would go forward with the right thing regardless of the consequences.
