McConnell says he wants to keep military aid to Ukraine and Israel tied together because he views those conflicts as part of a larger global threat.

They only work from 12-2 two days a week. It’s VERY difficult to fit in multiple votes. So they like to bundle.

There is also another reason. The bigger the package the more garbage that has absolutely nothing to do with the intentions of the bill can be slide in the backdoor. There are always unseen unknown bills attached to these.
