House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Monday that the House would not consider voting on a foreign aid package that the Senate eventually passed on Tuesday. Johnson ripped the bill for ignoring the crisis at the southern border and said Americans “deserve better” than to see their tax dollars sent overseas while their communities are besieged […]
The Senate passed a $95.3 billion foreign aid package on Tuesday with no funding for border security. The bill would give $60 billion to Ukraine, $14 billion to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza, and nearly $5 billion for the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan. But House Republicans, who had demanded that the immigration […]
This morning, the Democrats in the Senate, combined with a pack of Biden Republicans, forced through the combined foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. (But mostly Ukraine.) Even with that accomplished, the prospects for the bill look dim at best in the House. It’s unclear if there would be enough GOP support to […]
The Ukraine funding bill poised to pass the Senate could be used as a predicate to impeach Donald Trump should he win a second term, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, argued Monday. Vance joined a forum on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, along with Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., […]
GOP Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio experienced a case of déjà vu when he reviewed the text of the proposed $95 billion military aid package that includes approximately $60 billion for Ukraine. On Sunday, the Senate in a procedural vote advanced the legislation forward, with 18 Republicans joining Democrats. A vote of the bill itself […]
On Monday, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) warned that the latest Senate proposal to provide funding for Ukraine and Israel has a provision buried inside it designed to trigger Trump’s impeachment should he win reelection in November. “Back in 2019, Democrats articulated a novel theory of impeachment, based on Trump’s […]
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) put Democrats on full blast in an interview this past weekend for making Ukraine a higher funding priority than fixing the “invasion” happening at our own border. And to that, all God’s people said, “Amen!” It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? What are all of […]
President Vladimir Putin’s nearly two-year-long war against Ukraine is causing a severe shortage in the number of health care professionals across Russia. The Russian Ministry of Health reported in November that the medical sector lacked about 26,500 doctors and 58,200 nursing staff. British officials said Sunday there is a “significant” shortage of doctors in 22 […]
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell lobbed criticism Sunday toward Republican colleagues who oppose more U.S. aid to Ukraine as the chamber advanced a $95 billion national security package. The legislation, which cleared a procedural hurdle 67-27 and heads to final passage later this week, includes assistance for Ukraine to combat Russia, Israel to defeat Hamas, […]
WASHINGTON — The Senate is moving toward a final vote on an emergency spending package that would provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel; replenish U.S. weapons systems; and provide food, water, and other humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. The Senate jettisoned from the package a bipartisan effort to boost immigration enforcement at the […]
