House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for a House vote this weekend to send tens of billions of dollars overseas.
The $95 billion bill would provide aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other U.S. allies. Johnson (R-Louisiana) posted on X that the bill would be split into separate votes.
Johnson texted other members of the House: „The text of three bills that will provide funding for America's national security interests and our allies in Israel, the Indo-Pacific, and Ukraine.“
4th vote Consider Turning Ukraine aid into loans, possible nationwide ban on TikTok, new sanctions on Iran, and allowing the president to confiscate frozen Russian assets and use them to fund the war in Ukraine measures, etc.
„We have adopted the Senate Supplemental Bill to improve processes and policies, which is very important,“ Johnson said. “Every member can vote their conscience.”
Rand Paul slams Mike Johnson over aid package
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) criticized the foreign aid package on social media. He declares that this is a „unity party“ effort that puts „America last.“
„Speaker Johnson and the Unionist Party are united behind a vast list of bad ideas,“ he wrote. „From borrowing $95 billion from China and sending it to other countries to overriding FISA warrant requests, they are checking every check to keep America afloat.“
Paul detailed the details of the bill in a follow-up post. This bullet point has many Americans wondering why no one in Washington is paying attention. Why don't they care that our people can't afford gas or groceries?of millions of Number of illegal immigrants flowing into the country our Border?
The entire package will be sent to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific. The bulk of that money, almost 64%, went to Ukraine, which is already a big beneficiary of American taxpayers.
„What do Americans get?“ Paul then asked about the aid package that Speaker Mike Johnson supports. “Inflation and Wide Open Borders”

Biden is excited.
President Biden is essentially bidding for a chance to sign the aid package being pushed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“We strongly support this package to secure critical support for Israel and Ukraine, provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and strengthen security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.” he said.
„I will sign this immediately and send a message to the world: We stand with our friends and will not allow Iran or Russia to succeed.“
The signs are clearly everywhere. Democrats once again seem satisfied that House Republicans are doing everything in their power to meet the needs of foreign countries.
Republicans clearly have an unhealthy obsession with appearing bipartisan rather than doing what their constituents want.
As Paul says, basically, „What do Americans get?“
Remember when President Trump wanted billions Will we build a border wall to protect America? That amount can easily be thrown into this package. It has no effect and still ranks as the lowest allocation amount on your bill.
But always, always, always, America comes last and every other country comes first. When will it end?
