They could have had exactly the same $ amounts, PLUS another $20 billion for border security, AND needed fixes to immigration law, if all the House GOP did was pass what the Senate passed back in February.

Instead, dysfunctional GOP wasted THREE MONTHS, and didn’t get a dime for the border.

They are idiots.

There is a HUGE Russian Depoyment about to happen. I think the weapons may be too late, but maybe, just maybe, it will allow the Ukrainians to ease up on their on rationing (of defensive missiles).

Slava Ukraini!
