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.

    This thread is great because pro-Russian morons are exposing themselves so it makes it real easy to block them.

      makes it real easy to block them.

      FYI, when you block someone on Lemmy, they can still see your posts, and can respond to them.

      The only thing that truly happens is that you can’t see what they’re saying/replying.

        That’s good enough for me. I don’t need to read the bullshit stuff they say anyway. like, “it doesn’t make one “pro russia” if you don’t think sending BILLIONS of dollars to a foreign country is a great idea.” … what a tool

            That’s fine. They likely have more free time than I do to argue about nothing and for those that see their bullshit, they’ll just vote it down.

      There’s a difference between pro Russian and not supporting giving tax dollars away to another country. Not everybody is pro Russian who wants to keep our tax dollars at home.

      it doesn’t make one “pro russia” if you don’t think sending BILLIONS of dollars to a foreign country is a great idea.
