A discharge petition is a threat, not a viable strategy to give timely aid to Israel or Ukraine. If the Democrats were to file a petition now, it’d be June before the legislation passed.

I agree it is not a viable strategy to deliver aid to Israel and Ukraine in the near-term. However I would file the petition now, just in case that turns out to be "the best we can do". My concern is much greater for Ukraine than for Israel. Ukraine is orders of magnitude closer to "losing" its war than Israel is. Israel isn't "going away" anytime soon, US aid or not. Ukraine may be. For them, delay is a much greater factor.
