The Senate passed the $95 billion last month, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, but so far Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican, has not brought the bill to the House for a vote.

FJB !!
Johnson will do anything the democrats want.

Must say a bit disappointed with (where you been & what have you been doing?) Speaker Johnson.
The fact that the entire bill is now vote or else in the dead of night when back in 96 you could separate it all review and throw out the bullsh##. This is sickening
why not? after all he’s now a proven caver
