We need to work with McCarthy on Ukraine aid

I'm not sure if this story is accurate, but it certainly scared me:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/01/07/kevin-mccarthy-fails-14th-ballot-speaker-us-house/

This craven coward McCarthy cares nothing about anything except his own political skin, so, while I despise the guy, I think we need to tell him that if he lets the full House vote their conscience on Ukraine aid (and most members support it) then Dems will abstain or do whatever else is necessary to ensure he does not lose his speakership if Gaetz or whoever calls for a vote to remove him for backing down on his promise to cut spending or aid to Ukraine.
