House Republicans on Monday introduced a plan to provide $14.3 billion in aid to Israel by cutting funding for the Internal Revenue Service, setting up a showdown with Democrats who control the Senate.
In one of the first major policy actions under new House Speaker Mike Johnson, Republicans unveiled a standalone supplemental spending bill only for Israel, despite Democratic President Joe Biden's request for a $106 billion package that would include aid for Israel, Ukraine and border security.
Johnson, who voted against aid for Ukraine before he was elected House speaker last week, had said he wanted aid to Israel and Ukraine to be handled separately. He has said he wants more accountability for money that has been sent to the Kyiv government as it fights Russian invaders.

They want it all
That is a moronic comment.
The intelligent move would be to ELIMINATE UKRAINE FUNDING.
"nextrush" is a typical useful idiot for leftists with an arrogant & blasphemous screen name.
LOVE LOVE LOVE SPeaker Johnson... He is hitting where it hurts the Democrats.
Let’s PRAY DAILY for him and the conservatives in Washington!!!!
Isolationasts can never grasp the fact that we live in a big world
Funny, I can't find "world police" as an enumerated power in the Constitution.
So...how long have you worked for the IRS?
That’s negative 14.3 billion.
But the 4-D chess move would have been to fund Ukraine by cutting the IRS budget.
I think you’re right. And, I think this is a stupid move. Give Israel some money, but hold off Ukraine to barter for cutting the IRS and/or major border security and sealing it.
I stand corrected!
It was easily misinterpreted. I should have just written the word initially.
I’m still unclear on why Israel needs any financial support from America’s tax payers. This isn’t an offset, isn’t providing relief to Americans and it’s still borrowed money.
It’s just a sarcastic idea.
My position in other posts is “Not One Dam* Dime More For Ukraine”
But cutting the IRS budget to one dollar maybe it’s about time seriously.
You got exposed for the hack you are. AGAIN!
Yes
