• 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.

      I’m all for countries standing by their commitments, long term. The risks of not disarming Ukraine, particularly back then, is more than worth the cost now.

      Appeasement is rarely a good idea, long term, no matter which warmonger it’s aimed at.

        So few people understand this. It’s akin to the Jan 6 morons puking about the Capitol building being “our house”. Not it fucking isn’t, it’s the government’s building. Chanting “we the people” like morons only points out that you haven’t read or don’t understand the rest of the fucking preamble.
