The Senate is racing to pass a $40B aid package to fortify Ukraine’s defenses against the Russian invasion, with a week left before U.S. military assistance is expected to run out. The chamber could clear the bill, sending it to Biden, as early as today.

“It’s irresponsible to shovel $40 billion out the door without knowing where it goes,” Paul told reporters Thursday.

If the Senate adopts Paul’s amendment, or makes any other changes, the bill would return to the House for another vote before Biden can sign it, further delaying assistance the White House has warned can’t wait much longer. The bill clocks in at roughly $7 billion more than Biden’s $33 billion assistance proposal, which White House officials said was aimed at sustaining Ukraine through the next five months of the conflict. Congress increased the price tag of the package by an equal amount for defense and humanitarian assistance.late Tuesday, not even the chamber’s most liberal Democrats opposed it. It earned overwhelming support in a vote of 368-57, less than eight hours after text was released.

making sure they dont spend it all in one place ?

What a bunch of bs.

Thank god for Rand Paul

Why are we racing to spend $40,000 million on the defense of Ukraine, as if its citizens were U.S. citizens? Why aren't we housing our homeless, or funding American schools and health care first? Because this tax $ is actually going to Raytheon and Martin Marietta. This is pork!

10% to the big guy with interests in Ukraine…the ? Should be asked. How much is that 10% worth right now as the USA has sent billions and wants to send more?

Then what

Isra*l literally killed a journalist yesterday… but ok

$40B Ukraine aid package hits wall in Senate over concerns about transparencyPresident Biden’s push to pass an emergency military and humanitarian aid package to Ukraine hit a wall in the evenly split Senate on Thursday. Dumping weapons and cash into one of the most corrupt countries in Europe? What could possibly go wrong? Not No , but HELL NO! The whole system is transparent I can't believe how most people get involved with politics is due to heavy programming that starts in schools. The USA needs wholeness and balanced vibrations here not more dividing programs! We need a brand new system that actually works!

And we wonder why things are backwards under democratic rule; white privilege)

House approves $40B in Ukraine aid, beefing up Biden requestThe House emphatically approved a fresh $40 billion Ukraine aid package Tuesday as lawmakers beefed up President Joe Biden's initial request, signaling a magnified, bipartisan commitment to thwart Russian President Vladimir Putin's bloody three-month-old invasion. The bill would give Ukraine military and economic assistance, help regional allies, replenish weapons the Pentagon has shipped overseas and provide $5 billion to address global food shortages caused by the war's crippling of Ukraine's normally robust production of many crops. House debate reflected a perspective, shared broadly by both parties, that the U.S. has even more at stake than standing by Ukraine. But the $10b Covid relief bill, was rejected. One point for Raytheon & Lockheed Martin. I can't wait to see people who own telsa tell me how the world works when telse probably hasn't done too late. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
