This week, 17 Senate Republicans joined Democrats to approve sending Ukraine another $60 billion. Twelve of those Republicans previously suggested they would not help send Ukraine any more American taxpayer money until the United States’s border was secure from illegal immigration.
On Thursday, Sens. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), John Kennedy (R-LA), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Todd Young (R-IN) joined every Senate Democrat excluding Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to send billions more in taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.
The money, if approved by the House, will fund weapons and military training, among other things, for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
Twelve of those Republicans who voted for the Ukraine funding, coupled with $14.1 billion for Israel in its war with Hamas, previously suggested to the media that they would not support more funding for Ukraine until America’s own southern border was secure.”So in order for our national security interests to be served, we must have a four-prong approach here. Israel, the border, Ukraine, and Taiwan,” Capito said in December 2023, for example, while Cassidy said, “We got to support our allies, but we got to secure our own border first and the Biden administration has not done so” the same month.
Similarly, in December 2023, Ernst said ,”The issue is not Ukraine, and it’s not President Zelensky. It’s our own national security at our southern border” and Collins called reforms at the southern...

all traitors
Can’t impeach Mayorkas.
Can’t get anything done to secure the border and stop the invasion.
What a bunch of feckless, reckless, traitors. It’s the usual cast of characters.
The D’s always stick together. The R’s never do and stab their fellows and all Americans in the back.
Deserving of the Judas Chair.
I have a sneaky feeling, Trump will win and have a 50/50 Senate - giving the VP the tie breaking vote. Then McConnell will resign (to spite Trump) , and the Rats will control the Senate since the Rat in KY, will appoint the new Senator from there …
Electronic/wire transfers complete? $$$$$$$
Uniparty gonna uniparty
Some of the same senators, who voted to convict Trump in his impeachment.
The U.S. Senate must be reformed. Senate terms must be reduced to four years to make them more accountable. Everything they have done proves it.
Better yet, repeal the 17th Amendment.
19th would be better. Both if it’s a choice.
Where are they finding billions to throw away?… what has happened to. The government to be so horrible at what they deem worth billions and what is not.
You have gone mad in Washington.. Biden doesn’t know how sick he is.
Neither do members of congress who go off their meds and make disastrous decisions.
Basically the same ones that won’t spend a dime to secure our border and deport illegals.
None of them should make it out of the next primary.
None, not one.
I’d forgive Collins. That’s it.
Let’s just say they needed 13 or 14. Who would be the other traitors. To hell with them all.
I can agree with that.
Vote. Them. Out. All of them.
I agree.
That would be okay if US Treasury had $60 Billion in its coffers. Instead UST is in the hole 2+ Trillion every year. When will politicians realize we are not rich?
