Senate Republicans are battling among themselves over what to do with Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) proposal to package $14.3 billion in aid for Israel with an equal cut to the IRS’s budget, and with no additional money for Ukraine.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his allies want the Israel and Ukraine money packaged together, which has led to accusations they are undermining Johnson from Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

Democrats oppose the cuts to the IRS funding. They argue it will raise the deficit and that it politicizes aid to U.S. allies fighting enemy threats.

    Because American Christians need the Jewish people to be in the right geographic location for Judgement day.

    Unfortunately, the our normally sociopathic oligarch class is still littered with people that sometimes make emotional decisions exclusively for their irrational superstitions that have no place in modern governments but still do because the ones with the gold make the rules.

    So when they aren’t starving/poisoning/exploiting you and your children for private profit, they’re killing foreign children in the name of supply side jeebus.

    I don’t care who anyone worships, I have great disdain, however, for the legions of people eager to make their worship other people’s problem.
