The Senate monstrosity is an unabashed insult to real American people. THREE TIMES as much for UKR than for the border, FOUR TIMES as much for UKR than ISR...... and a great big bonus of 8500 illegal slags PER DAY entering the country.

So far, so good. You are in charge, Speaker Johnson. You are empowered to do exactly what you are doing. Tell Mitch and Chucky to stuff it.

Pray not that requires significant treason

Mariner pointed out a few dozen GOP will have to support it as they won’t have all Dems due to Israel aid.

So it seems unlikely with the math (fingers crossed).

We’d better keep the House, that’s all I have to say.

Dear Lord, save us! We are perishing.

I was taught in 8th grade Civics class, that all spending bills MUST originate in the House; therefore the Senate bill is UN-Constitutional on its face and can not become law.....but i guess the rules have changed in America 2.0 / Obama’s america.

“..Obama’s america...”

Odongo brought “fundamental change” to America. He basically trashed our Constitution to suit his evil desires.... The SOB ought to be in jail.

If there is a discharge petition he need to call the bill The America Last bill, have a roll call vote and after each name ask how they vote on America Last.

Two can play that game.

A Majority of GOP Senators voted America First.
A Minority voted America Last.
