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.

    If Biden is also taking bribe money from Russia, as you suggest, then we should expect him to veto this bill, right?

    No? While peasants get send to the front to die politicians are collecting wealth and power thanks to this war.

    You should expect politicians to do what’s in their personal greedy interest, being taking money from someone or stabbing them in the back.

      Some of the politicians realizes that an intact infrastructure and Europe not burdoned by war is a good thing and helps economic trade, etc. Some are old school politicians focused on diplomacy and mutually beneficial agreements (as confirmed being the most efficient strategy by game theory).

      And then there’s the morons who only think about short term personal benefits
