• 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.

    Nah, they’re not far right. One’s a sex offender and the other spews Putin’s words as truths, despite evidence to the contrary. Facts keep changing, yet mearsheimer’s “beliefs” do not. To him Putin isn’t an imperialist dictator despite the fact that he keeps annexing more and more land to russia by invading sovereign countries and has been “president” for over 2 decades while his opponents keep falling out of windows and such. 2014 was a coup, obviously, because Ukrainians couldn’t possibly be opposed to getting closer to Russia, etc, etc.

    Please…
