The House passed a more than $60 billion bill that provides more military aid to Ukraine.
It's part of a larger foreign aid package that's likely to pass the Senate and be signed into law.
112 Republicans voted it against — the most ever, and a majority of the GOP conference.

…

Saturday's vote marked the first time the House had approved billions of dollars in Ukraine aid since December 2022, when Democrats still controlled the chamber.

In the two years since Russia's invasion, opposition to aiding Ukraine has grown from a fringe position to a majority view among House GOP lawmakers. Many argue the money should be spent domestically or that policy changes at the US-Mexico border should take precedence.

Here are the 112 House Republicans who voted against the bill.

I know this isn't why they voted against it, but the mass surveillance / censorship bill tacked onto this that's vainly disguised as a TikTok ban is pretty scary.

Fuck the GOP.

Good for Speaker Johnson. It was a mistake for the far right to support him. He's an evangelical, but he's also a true believer, rather than a grifter. When fully briefed on the intelligence, he ultimately chose to do the right thing.
