“The legislation includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel in its war against Hamas and $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, and deter aggression by China.
It would also provide $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine and other conflict zones around the globe.”
They removed the US-MX border protection provisions in order to get it passed by conservatives.
Wait so the republicans did not pass the first because it didnt meet their requirements for border security but they pass this one that doesnt include anything at all for the border?
Am i missing something?
Also, can they still block this in the house, or is it a done deal?
US Senate passes $95 billion Ukraine aid bill, but Putin allies in the GOP controlled house plan to kill it.

At least it’s progress, I guess
“History settles every account,” McConnell added. “And today, on the value of American leadership and strength, history will record that the Senate did not blink.”
don’t like McConell for the most part but banger quote and good move
Reads “GOP shits will still block it anyway”
Surely it will be passed by the House now?
Can someone explain to me why the US government isnt simply getting creative at this point by outright selling weapons to Ukraine and giving them a loan or lend-and-lease style agreement at the same time? Surely weapon sales dont have to be oked by both government chambers.
Misleading title, only $61 billion of those 95 are Ukraine aid
