Senator Rand Paul has blocked a fast-track senate vote on the additional $40 billion funding package created by Joe Biden and House Democrats. Both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell approved a fast-track vote; however, senator Rand Paul (KY) stood defiant against their effort.
Despite the high-profile pressure from the two Senate leaders, Rand Paul refused to move and that means the Senate will have to take procedural steps to overcome his objection, which could take several days. “My oath of office is the US constitution not to any foreign nation and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America,” Paul said in his remarks before objecting to moving to swift passage of the bill. “We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy.”

Rand, where were you on not blocking the numerous Ukraine funding bills or the Lend Lease bill? Where?
Rand why do you care about ‘Saving the Ukraine’ Who elected you saviour of anything? How about focusing on being pro Kentucky. You were elected to mind it’s interests not some place in SE Europe.

***Good news. This is the most colossal waste of money ever***
Amen! ...and too many Repubbies signing on. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Naturally there in not likely any accounting of where the money goes.
D.C. is ruled by the Uniparty... citizens get out of the way. Further evidence: while American citizen mothers cannot get infant formula due to a 'shortage', illegal aliens are receiving pallots full of infant formula.
America has stolen the world's wealth and now must pay! -- Thus spake Confusion - er, uh: Confucius.
The GOP has been so duped over this Ukraine head fake.
First 10 billion in February.....now another 40 billion. How much is Linseed Graham getting from the latest feeding frenzy.
