It’s official. 79-18. Onto Biden’s desk to sign. Been a long and very stupid journey getting this passed but it’s done.

79-18 is better than expected, but the 18 still need to be held accountable. Some of these are in party leadership or in competitive states.


And I guess it confirms some negative stereotypes about progressives for Sanders, Merkley and Welch to be Nay votes.

I assume Sanders, Welch, and Merkley support Ukraine aid but were voting against giving Netanyahu more money to kill Palestinians with.

$26 billion is an absurd amount of funds to hand off to Netanyahu's government.

Not to mention the asinine Tiktok ban, which has no place in a foreign aid bill.

Why should Taiwan be getting any aid? It’s not at war.

Great news. A big win for President Biden, Congressional Dems, and common sense republicans.

There's too many unrelated things lumped together for me to blame anybody voting against it.

By that logic, we should give South Korea aid.

Over 28,000 American troops are stationed in South Korea. That more than qualifies as aid.

Because NK will never attack SK. And even if they did, NK is a nuclear power, and USA foreign policy since forever has been to not go to war with nuclear powers.

President Biden should sign it without fuss or fanfare tonight. I'd like to see the Russian front lines being shelled ASAP. Screw the photo op.
