Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday urged his Senate colleagues to move quickly on legislation to send military aid to Israel and Ukraine and to counter China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific, warning of “an increasingly coordinated challenge from powerful adversaries.”
McConnell said the Senate would review the $100 billion emergency spending request Biden sent to Congress Friday and craft its own package “in the coming days.”

The Senate GOP leader will make a rare appearance on “Fox News Sunday” and CBS’s “Face the Nation” this weekend to discuss why the United States must stand firmly with Israel and Congress must address other national security priorities.
McConnell released his statement after one of his allies, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), declared Biden’s $100 billion national security request as currently drafted “dead on arrival.”
Biden on Friday formally requested $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for military aid to Israel and another $14 billion to deal with hundreds of thousands of migrants who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cotton flagged several elements of Biden’s proposal that will meet stiff opposition from Republicans on Capitol Hill, including $3.5 billion to address the needs of civilians in Gaza and $11.8 million to fund Ukraine’s non-military needs.
He also objected to $4.7 billion requested by the White House to provide transportation, housing and other services to migrants who have come into the country from Mexico.
The Arkansas senator said “Senate Republicans will take the lead on crafting a funding bill that protects Americans and their interests.”

Now we see why they blocked Jordan.
He would never allow this to come to the floor.
Exactly.
THIS is what’s important to them.
Spend, Spend, Spend
Shameful when our border is so broken.
We can't afford one penny of this crap!
Dwight Eisenhower’s 1961 warning about the Military-Industrial Complex:
So which lobbyist controls the McConnell puppet these days?
“Not a penny for tribute [Ukrainian blackmail/hush-money] but billions for defense [Israel and the GWOT]!”
Everything is a F***ing emergency !
That is why we can never take time to debate anything or object to all the grift and corruption.
“Now we see why they blocked Jordan.
He would never allow this to come to the floor.”
Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner!
Very grateful the broken system has ground to a halt with no recovery in sight.
God bless Matt Gaetz.
Mr. Zelensky(L) Kiev
Everything shady in Washington is invariably done because of an “emergency”.
Kind of makes me want to see this house speaker thing drag on forever.
