House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who faces ramped-up threats of a motion to vacate, will not have enough Republican votes for a rule to merge separate foreign aid bills for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, meaning he will need to turn to Democrats for help.
Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) both announced Tuesday morning that they are against the rule.
Biggs said he supported Johnson’s initial plan “announced in conference to allow the House to vote on the various aid packages separately. But his since-announced intent to merge them together before sending them to the Senate is wrong.”

Bibi is just another power-mongering, self-serving politician,
desperately trying to stay in office in order to stay out of jail.
He’s not very popular w/ voters, so I guess he’s darn glad a war fell in his lap.
He even got to smack down bad ol’ Iran to get more US
arms to show what a good Israeli he is to potential voters.
Bibi got Biden in abject obeisance... on his knees sucking up
as fast as he can.....buying more votes w/ our foreign aid tax dollars .
You are one bitter old woman.
It what he's doing that's the problem.
He promised no funding for Ukraine unless a border security package passed. If breaks that promise, he's unfit to be in the House, let alone remain as Speaker.
FISA passed thanks to RINOS like Ann Wagner. For the first time in 50 years I will NOT vote for the Republican candidate for my representative (I will not vote for a DEMONRAT under any circumstance). She is either a sniveling coward or part of the elite “deep state” culture.
Johnson is not all powerful. He’s tried. It failed because the Republicans have a TINY minority in the House and NOTHING ELSE.

It really pisses me off that the protection of America’s border is conditioned on the funding of a proxy war/money laundering operation.
Let Europa fund that. Funding Bills should be separately voted and debated. Where the Hell is our Govt.!!!
Better 0 for Ukraine.

Fuck Ukraine and UniParty dolts that are for this MIC Bottomless Pit of HELL. Let the Europeans pay for their own protection!!!
>>>>Better 0 for Ukraine.<<<<
Just think of all the BILLIONS we poured into the Zelensky/Biden Laundromat and NONE of it accounted for.
In December, Speaker Johnson wrote a letter to the White House reiterating that NO FUNDING FOR UKRAINE would be considered WITHOUT BORDER SECURITY.
Read the letter for yourself. Where is that Speaker?

what u said is not true.
Johnson has the power to table uke aid and prevent that from coming to a floor vote, which is exactly what he should do, He is just another RINO globalist like McCarthy.so you favor these billions for Ukranian money laundering?
Name ANYONE who could do more. You are psychotic.
there are many who could and would do better, the problem is that RINO globalists can prevent them from getting elected.
It is a sad state of affairs...you seem to favor this with your name-calling.
Who COULD do better, given the GOP has a TINY majority in the House and a minority in the Senate and Biden is President?
