A majority of House Republicans voted against sending more than $60 billion to Ukraine. But it passed anyway, and it now heads to the Senate.
  • 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.

      Gotta speed that rapture along somehow. Also, for the slightly less insane ones, gotta have somebody there to keep Iran scared.

        The year is 2003 and Nancy Pelosi is whispering to constituents that - yes, all this might look sketchy on its face - but the CIA just gave the intelligence committee a tip about this source named “Curveball” that’s going to prove Saddam has WMDs and justify the whole thing.

        Actually, sending taxpayer money to weapons manufacturers so you can support a genocide that your voters are ready to ditch you over is 9D chess, you wouldn’t get it
