• The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
  • It’s part of a larger foreign aid package that’s likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
  • 112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.

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.

In the two years since Russia’s invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.

Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.

    Ok. Show me where the propaganda is? Is it hiding in the recipe videos or cat videos or memes on my page that were made by other Americans? This is a bs excuse that way too many of you gobbled up simply because you wanted to believe it. The actual issue here is that millions of Americans aren’t profiting American corporations and they hate that. So the corporations that basically run our country at this point found a way to put a stop to it. Now they’ll try to buy up all of our data, without our consent as usual, under the guise of protecting it for us.

    As an American, my own government ignored millions its citizens telling them we don’t want this and quietly banned it by tucking it away inside of other bills. As an American, my own government is using my tax dollars to fund a genocide while declining to feed school kids and protect women’s rights. As an American, I’m disappointed in my fellow Americans’ eagerness to dismiss and defend this extremely unpatriotic act by our government.

    Take a look at the buffoons “protecting us” and tell me you still believe they have good intentions and aren’t just fear mongering.

    They don’t even know basic geography or how the internet works ffs. Feel free to watch the whole thing. It was long but really eye opening to see just how little the people representing us actually understand about the world we live in.

      I think you need to dig into the actual arguments being made around this subject and try engaging them with an open mind. If you’re currently incapable of understanding how TikTok can be used to spread propaganda it’s pointless for us to discuss this.

        What a non-answer. If you can’t hold up your end of the conversation by backing up your own claims then just say that and don’t waste people’s time.

          Yes, it’s a non-answer because the questions you asked in your previous comment are enough for me to know its pointless to engage further with you. If you’re unable to recognize the potential risks involved we are not going to accomplish anything discussing this issue.
