The Republican-led House on Thursday passed a sweeping security package providing new military aid to Ukraine and imposing sanctions on Russia, delivering a sharp rebuke to the Trump administration, who opposed the measure.
Eighteen Republicans crossed party lines to support the Democrat-authored legislation in a vote of 226-195. California Rep. Kevin Kiley, an independent who caucuses with Republicans, also supported the legislation. Meanwhile, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was the lone Democratic lawmaker to vote against the bill.
House GOP leadership and the vast majority of Republicans opposed the legislation aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defenses amid a surge in Russian missile and drone strikes as the conflict enters its fifth year.
The measure now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uphill battle to clear the chamber. The White House said the legislation would undermine President Donald Trump's goal of ending the prolonged conflict and that he would veto the measure, according to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
"The bill seeks to tie the President’s hands by mandating a wide-ranging U.S. response to the Russia-Ukraine war while adding hundreds of millions in unfunded authorizations," the White House document reads, in part.
The security package would reaffirm U.S. support for Ukraine and NATO, authorize more than $1.5 billion in new security assistance and $8 billion in direct loans, and extend a Pentagon program that procures weapons and military equipment for Ukraine.

I very much doubt they have a veto proof majority. As such, this is neaningless virtue signaling.

I’m so tired of Ukraine and GOP suck ups!!!
No for the White House. No for election integrity. Yes for Ukraine. Who do they represent?
🔝🔝🔝
It would be kind of nice if these Congress scumbags delivered something for the American people instead of a bunch of foreign countries.
I hate the neocons.
Not us, that’s for damn sure!
Trump needs the fickle GOP to get even a small bill passed, let alone the important voter ID one.
A shame the traitors don’t wake up to a horse’s head in the bed.
“Who do they represent?”
You mean the GOPe, RINOs, uniparty, deep state, sellouts, swamp dwellers, elites, back stabbers, establishment, surrender monkeys, turncoats, maoists, collaborators, assistant democrats, traitors, liars, debt junkies, crooks, scumbags, republicrats, democrat lite, RINOcrats, robbers, liars, cheater and thieves...the whole list is rather long.
The RINOs in Congress/Senate represent the fools that vote for them and the GOPe heads are always yelping “go vote” that mostly fall on deaf ears. It’s refreshing for a change to see maggots like Massie tossed out, we need another 100 new MAGA types in Congress to get anything done. Nothing of note since the BBB.
Guess with USAID drying up, its forcing the grifters into the open.
That’s a lot of horses!
On the Motion (Motion to Waive All Applicable Budgetary Discipline Re: Graham Amdt. No. 5779)
This vote was related to a bill introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham [R-SC] on May 20, 2026, S. 2: Secure America Act.
RINOS Tillis, Murkowski, McConnell and Collins voted with the RATS.
Everyone wants to be the next Massie.
Until the SAVE America Act is passed give them nothing, Mr. President!
Veto everything.
From now until November, various GOP members of Congress will be testing positions for how their constituents are thinking, and some will, sometimes, be giving what they think is the “higher priority” - getting reelected, and for some, sometimes those positions may be minority GOP positions. It’s part of politics, democracy and elections, and compromises are a part of it.
Trump doesn’t veto. This will pass and Trump will make it seem like a victory. This is why a Democrat Congress would be better. Trump might actually try do do battle with Congress (although it’s not a guarantee)
Disgusting how many of our politicians have no problem giving our tax dollars to any foreign country for any reason
Headed for vetoville. 😏
