Washington — The House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package Saturday, in a pivotal moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to stave off a right-wing rebellion.
The package consists of four bills that were voted on separately and will be combined into one before being sent to the Senate. The first three bills include $60.8 billion to help Ukraine in its war with Russia; $26.4 billion to support Israel, which is fighting Hamas and Iran; and $8.1 billion to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. Humanitarian aid for Gaza, which Democrats said was necessary for their support, is also included.
The fourth bill would allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, potentially force the sale of TikTok and authorize stricter sanctions on Russia, China and Iran. The House approved the fourth bill Saturday in a 360 to 58 vote.
The House voted overwhelmingly to approve the aid bill for allies in the Indo-Pacific in a 385 to 34 vote, with one member voting present, along with the aid for Israel, with a 366 to 58 vote. More contentious was the vote on Ukraine aid, which came after months of infighting among House Republicans. But lawmakers voted 311 to 112 with one member voting present to approve the aid, despite the steep pushback from some House conservatives.

You would support Hitler if given the chance. We already know that.

Go F yourself saying I would support Hitler.

There was nothing for the USA, JUST UKRAINE’S BORDER.
America is finished. Don’t waste your breath. Make a plan.
Our country’s broke.
It’s why ‘elites’ are buying gold and bitcoin and treasuries.. . People are afraid we’re going to be the next Venezuela.
Yes, it can happen here...
“LockheedMartin, Raytheon, Boeing, General Atomics, et al “ need to understand we don’t want to be reduced to eating zoo animals to support insane wars and grandiosity like what happened in Venezuela. And yeah, I know our ‘elites’ will do just fine - Hunter will still get his drugs and probably whores too. But the rest of us? America’s workers? We’ll have trouble feeding our families - and stretched even more by being forced to pay the deadbeat student debt to massage Biden’s big fat ego... and need to buy votes on our dime.

And saving England (Europe) from Hitler was also like saving a whore from her pimp? Aren’t we witty, smart and enjoy colorful analogy?

Bannon Calls Out DC: “Screw You” For Calling Americans Chamberlain For Not Supporting Ukraine’s War
“This is a major victory for President Joe Biden.” So wrote Jake Sherman in his hot take on Wednesday when Mike Johnson released the long-awaited text of his Ukraine funding bill.
(Axios’s hot take — “Mike Johnson has given Democrats a reason to bail him out” — got it exactly wrong. He’s bailing Democrats out!).
So why *is* Speaker Johnson handing Biden “a major victory”?! Because apart from “The 55” who tried to block it, the GOP wants Trump to lose in November. That’s why they are desperate to hand the White House the only foreign policy “win” of this administration.
Remember this every time these evil pukes get preachy about income tax season.
Biden wants the Ukraine war to look ‘hopeful’ until after the election.
We’re not giving them enough money to win - for obvious and subtle reasons - so all that’s going to happen is the slow slaughter and destruction will continue.
That’s a really creepy choice.
Prayers for President Trump to be elected and to bring sanity back to the White House.
Right now we're being invaded by young men of military age from countries we consider to be enemies. I support a military solution to that situations, weapons, money, soldiers etc. if that's the only way to stop the invasion.
And you, do YOU support a war against the people invading OUR country?
