Looks like Senate pulled the $20 billion for immigration. Bringing the package down to $95B from $118B.

“The Senate Appropriations Committee announced the legislative text of the more than $95 billion foreign aid package that is stripped of the border provisions.

That money includes aid to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia and security assistance for Israel, as well as humanitarian assistance for civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine.”

My guess is a discharge petition can reach 218 votes in the House.

It will bring about a Republican civil war. But maybe its time for that.

“But Ukraine aid backers have quietly discussed an end run around House GOP leaders: while exceedingly rare, a successful 218-signature discharge petition could force a vote on a Senate-passed bill without Johnson’s approval.”
