The border bill, which was always about sending money to Ukraine and not about our border, is dead, so the progressive Republican Senators voted today to advance the $95 billion dollar foreign aid package that funds Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific.
The vote was 67-27.
Eighteen Republicans voted with Democrats to advance this bill. They might not vote for the bill- they just advanced it- but look at the names – there are lots of RINOs and some warmongers on the list.
- Capito (R-WV)
- Cassidy (R-LA)
- Collins (R-ME)
- Cornyn (R-TX)
- Ernst (R-IA)
- Grassley (R-IA)
- Kennedy (R-LA)
- McConnell (R-KY)
- Moran (R-KS)
- Mullin (R-OK)
- Murkowski (R-AK)
- Romney (R-UT)
- Rounds (R-SD)
- Sullivan (R-AK)
- Thune (R-SD)
- Tillis (R-NC)
- Wicker (R-MS)
- Young (R-IN)
The Senators want to go home, but they no longer seem to consider the costs, which is an important Republican principle. Fiscal responsibility – what happened to that?
With some luck, Speaker Johnson got the message not to pass it.
