• 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.

    For those who don’t know, The New York Post was the first American media outlet that Rupert Murdoch brought back in the day. It tries to play off being ‘center Right’ as opposed to Fox News. Following the spin on the spin can break your neck.

      When a Republican loses Rupert Murdock, things probably aren’t going the way you planned.

        It’s a New York paper, so they can hate on MGT. They don’t have to be consistent with the message from one branch tp the other.

        I remember back in 2008. The Post had two op-ed pieces on the same page. One writer said that Obama was just another neoliberal hack who’d push a softer version of GOP plans and the voters should just opt for McCain. The other said that Obama was a hard Left radical who would about an extremist agenda.
