The House approved a $95 billion foreign aid package Saturday, in a pivotal moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he tries to stave off a right-wing rebellion.

The package consists of four bills that were voted on separately and will be combined into one before being sent to the Senate.
The first three bills include $60.8 billion to help Ukraine in its war with Russia; $26.4 billion to support Israel, which is fighting Hamas and Iran; and $8.1 billion to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. Humanitarian aid for Gaza, which Democrats said was necessary for their support, is also included.

The balls of these people to try and fold all of that shyt that together in that bill.

If anyone ever tells you "it's too expensive" when a climate change, Healthcare, or any other measure is proposed that will actually help people dying here, rest assured that the person you are talking to is a willfully stupid individual. You no longer need to waste more time talking to them or requesting their opinions on anything about the issue.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”- Upton Sinclair.

Droning on about "american leadership" while funding Israel's genocide campaign, destroying competition by banning an app that generates money in America and provides news and basically nothing for the thing which will kill all humans(climate change). Absolutely Orwellian shyt.

Nah we need to use that money to subsidize millionaires and billionaires. It's the American way.

Thats why I always used to laugh when I was in the Air Force when they'd talk about fraud waste and abuse.

$95 billion to foreign wars while Americans can't afford rent or groceries. Nothing to protect the environment or address centuries old ethnic targeting against African-Americans. It's time for massive societal change in America, but the average citizen is obese and apathetic

Shame on Biden for making the house do this
