The Senate voted early Tuesday morning to pass a $95 billion emergency defense spending bill, including $60 billion for Ukraine, after an all-night filibuster by conservative opponents finally ran out of steam shortly after 5 a.m. The 70-29 vote capped nearly a week of floor debate and four months of wrangling over President Biden’s request to fund the war in Ukraine, which he submitted to Congress in October
Whatever happened to listening to the constituents? Our voices no longer matter...
Right, Russians in 2024 aren't invading another country. Okay
suit your own corrupt warmongering instincts
Okay, helping Ukraine defend itself from invasion and its territory from annexation by sending them weapons is "warmongering instincts". Unbelievable
Is this the same bill that the bastards passed in the predawn vote? Been reading articles that said Johnson rejected the bill but that was 10 hours ago. Old news ..I’m confused.
I will suggest there not enough such voices to prevail.
The America Last Senate.
The Fathers of our Country, are giving us an example. GO MAX out all of your credit cards, sign IOU’s and borrow, borrow. This is NOT real money, just numbers. Live recklessly, carelessly and let your kids pay for your loose living.
Two cheeks on the same butt
Screw them both. Lankford isn't up again until '28, Mullin (opening up another tab to look)... aw jeez, we're stuck with that a$$#013 until '28 also.
Joe Pedo needs to be impeached and then thrown in prison for life without parole. Who died and made that goofy bass turd the patron saint and savior of the Ukraine?
Johnson shut down the Senate several days back. He’s likely to do it again.
Sending Vickie Nuland over to foment “color revolution” in the Obama communist years — provoking Russia and its ethnic Russian population in the Donbas etc — serious talk of taking Ukraine into NATO, further provoking Russia — and the insane levels of sexual perversion and CORRUPTION present in Ukraine which we’re SUPPORTING and FURTHERING (remember Uncle Joe?)
THAT, zeeper, is WARMONGERING.
We have our OWN BORDER under INVASION. Screw you euroweenies cheerleading us on as we wreck our economy and our national cohesion!

Every one who voted for that bill is a traitor to their country. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Washington DC needs a complete enema.
The house is so weak. They are going tonfeel pressure to pass this but the Senate feels no pressure to pass the house bill. Johnson isn’t strong enough to ignore the bill and just not give it a vote
>> I’m confused.
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger.
However even if it’s a different bill I don’t see Speaker Johnson supporting it, for the exact same reasons he has already explicitly stated.
LOL, sure, everybody in Eastern Europe naturally wanted to join some Russian-BananaStan Economic Group(CIS) vs the much higher quality of life in the EU.
No country in Eastern Europe wants what Russia is selling.
Yup, and Trump sent weapons to Ukraine AND closed our border, showing both can be done at the same time.
I’m from Texas, and tell you that everyone hates Cornyn. He won’t run again because he can’t win, unless he has enough illegals vote for him. Cornyn doesn’t give a damn about the people he represents.
The only one on this list that surprises me is John Kennedy (R-LA).
