- The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.

Saturday’s vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.

Actually, sending taxpayer money to weapons manufacturers so you can support a genocide that your voters are ready to ditch you over is 9D chess, you wouldn’t get it
I mean that they’re our only real ally in the Middle East is probably enough on its own to justify the funding to Congress.
Ohhh, yes. Our glorious leaders have secret information we don’t. Surely we must defer to their wisdom and support them unconditionally. /s
Which, paradoxically, means they’re all going to pass.
The only piece of legislation the House really had beef with was the Ukraine bill. And they solved that by stapling the TikTok ban to it. Now the Dems in the Senate will greenlight all the money for Israel and Taiwan on reflex and choke down Ukraine as a sensible compromise.
