"$60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.4 billion for Israel, and $8.1 billion for Ukraine. Meanwhile, following Republican outcry - Johnson included a fifth bill which would revive the Secure Border Act - so US border security is essentially an afterthought.

In order to appease said base, Johnson - who faces a growing threat of removal by House conservatives - has added a US border security measure to the package, which he told lawmakers the House would vote on Saturday night."

MY COMMENT: I fully agree with Sean Davis's assessment of Mike Johnson's ability to serve as Speaker of the House! It is more important for Johnson to spend US tax dollars to keep the war going in Ukraine, than fixing America's border problem and the integrity of our voting system!

Rep. Thomas Massie said on X that Johnson "plans to pass the rule for the $100 billion foreign aid package using Democrats on the Rules Committee," adding "This is the Uniparty "reveal.""

This is the Uniparty “reveal.”

The Secure Border Act - passed by the House but shut down in the Democrat-led, open-border Senate, would restart the construction of Donald Trump's southern border wall, and would include other measures to stem the flow of migrants.
