American taxpayers will provide an additional $300 million for Ukraine’s war effort if a bill passed late Thursday night by the House becomes law.
The bill passed 311-117 after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stripped the funding from a Pentagon spending bill in favor of a standalone vote.
The $826 billion Pentagon spending bill also passed Thursday night after the Ukraine aid was removed.
Determining how much more, if any, Congress should send to Ukraine — on top of the $113 billion it has already approved — has been among the most significant challenges for Congress as it works to fund the government past the September 30 deadline.

The bill did not pass. New funding denied.
You're too had on yourself. These Congresscritters are great, however.
Keep the list, those will be the same ones that will not vote for impeachment.
I think, and I could be wrong in how I am understanding this, that this bill passed but based upon the conference rules it cannot be brought up again in the future because it did not have the support of the majority of Republicans in the house.
hahahaha
How much of that is earmarked for Hunter and "The Big Guy"?
so this one is more current and accurate?

Yeah never mind that every Democrat Congresscritter voted for it.
Democrats are always better at politics then Conservatives for this very thing. The Alt Left understand going into a political fight knowing you will lose is sometimes valuable to communicate something to the American people. Now these Democrats are on record voting for something the US people loath.
Next year all these Democrats are going to have to explain why, when everything is going to hell in their home districts, they keep voting to pay all of Ukraine’s bills instead.
They got the Ukraine funding stripped out of the Defense Bill. That is the victory. Every Democrats, along with about 100 GOP-E, passed it in a stand alone bill.
I read this post and t seemed to put an end to the House raising further funding bills.

So I would say the celebrations are legit. But your question had me double checking and I couldn’t find anything, anything at all on the MSM. I take this as yet another good sign.....blackout?
I think Politico indicates the fight is now on...but...but Bannon, Gaetz, MTG seem to be celebrating its demise?
“Next year all these Democrats are going to have to explain why, when everything is going to hell in their home districts...”

I don’t know about that. The people in their blue districts vote for liberalism, not responsible governance.
That’s right, but people need to understand that this particular bill that was voted on today did pass. Whether they stick to the conference rules going forward remains to be seen.
Many have said Ukraine will lose shortly after they lose funding.
Be ready to see lots of “Russian” missiles irrationally shooting out of Odessa and hitting shopping malls in Poland in the near future.
“… The Republicans voting along with all Democrats for the Ukraine funding bill are Reps… ANDY HARRIS (MD)….”

Well, Andy Harris has just forfeited any further campaign donations from me. He’s not my representative but he’s the only Republican House member among Maryland’s HEAVILY GERRYMANDERED US House districts so I supported him. NO MORE!!
A K loser scum.

I'm doing just fine, thank you. Cope!
Ukrainians could be living in a neutral, peaceful country. We are setting it up to be taken over by the revived USSR. How sinister of us... as if we are on their side and the side of high oil and food prices. A quart of wheat for a day’s wage.
Andy Harris has a lifelong ACU rating of 95%. If you’re saying he and Tom McClintock etc are wrong on this, then maybe you’re the one with the non-conservative position.
