The Democratic discharge petition would require 218 signatures to force a vote on the aid package on the House floor.

This means that the Democrats would need some number of Republicans to sign the petition, because they will lose some of their own votes because the Senate aid package includes aid to Israel.

Republican bastards have filed a competing discharge petition without humanitarian aid, that even if passed would delay aid by weeks or months if it passes.

I suspect that the Republican measure contains Lizard People aid.

Update 2024-03-21: 188 House members have now signed the Democratic petition that mirrors the Senate aid bill that was passed months ago.

The first Republican to sign the petition, Ken Buck signed today, but he's retiring from Congress the next day, Friday 3/22
