The Senate early Tuesday passed a massive $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with no border funding while almost all Americans were sound asleep. The final vote came after conservatives mounted an all-night filibuster led by Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), which stopped just after 5 a.m.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Senate found the bill so urgent that they invoked cloture on Super Bowl Sunday by a 67-27 vote. 18 GOPers voted to sell America out to foreign interests.
TGP previously noted the package includes a whopping $60 Billion for Ukraine and $14 Billion for Israel. The other money goes toward “humanitarian” assistance for Gaza and the West Bank, along with deterring Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific, including defending Taiwan.
Last night, this number grew to 22 Republican senators voted to pass the bill. Two Democrats, Jeff Merkley and Peter Welch (D-VT, voted no. Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) also voted to reject the bill.
All three had expressed anger over the money provided to Israel in the package, which would go to helping the Jewish state defend itself against Hamas terrorists.
The final vote was 70-29. Here are the 22 GOPers who voted with the Democrats to put America last:
1. Mitch McConnell (KY)
2. John Thune (SD)
3. John Boozman (AR)
4. Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
5. Bill Cassidy (LA)
6. Susan Collins (ME)
7. John Cornyn (TX)
8. Kevin Cramer (ND)
9. Mike Crapo (ID)
10. Joni Ernst (IA)
11. Chuck Grassley (IA)
12. John Hoeven (ND)
13. John Kennedy (LA)
14. Jerry Moran (KS)
15. Lisa Murkowski (AK)
16. Jim Risch (ID)
17. Mitt Romney (UT)
18. Mike Rounds (SD)
19. Dan Sullivan (AK)
20. Thom Tillis (NC)
21. Roger Wicker (MS)
22. Todd Young (IN)
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) praised the bill as one that demonstrates American leadership and sends a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin:
American leadership will not waver, not falter, not fail. Today, we make Vladimir Putin regret the day he questioned America’s resolve.
Today, we send a clear bipartisan message of resolve to our allies in NATO.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy crowed over the bill’s passage as well in a late-night X post:
I am grateful to @SenSchumer, @LeaderMcConnell, and every US Senator who has supported continued assistance to Ukraine as we fight for freedom, democracy, and the values we all hold dear.
For us in Ukraine, continued US assistance helps to save human lives from Russian terror.…

The legislation now goes to the House, which is likely doomed if one believes House GOP leadership. But there is talk of Democrats pushing a discharge petition which will allow the America last bill to come to the floor without GOP leadership approval.
Scumbag list - bump for later....
Very little surprise here. These are the same names I’ve seen over and over again associated with idiotic libtard measures. They desperately need to be VOTED OUT on their well-padded behinds.
Primary these clowns.
WE need TERM LIMITS!!!!
Cornyn, as can be expected.
I’m ashamed to have him as a senator from Texas.
Gaza and the West Bank get to build more tunnels and rockets for celebrating
Im so tired of this game.
My daughter graduates HS in 4 months. I was planning on moving to florida but 2 of my buddies are actually leaving the country. One is giving up his citizenship. Thats my next move. I feel so alien in my own country.
They voted to put their wallet first. Pretty much standard operating procedure for the GOP.
There. Fixed it.
Only two of them are up for election this year.
That’s how they do it.
And next year, it’ll be the same. Only those not up for reelection will vote for Oligarchy agenda items, to protect themselves.
This is our money they are using. Morally, i can’t do this anymore. If there were a tax revolt id join it, but thats not gonna happen in large enough numbers to make a difference. So ill continue paying as i develop my exit strategy. I can’t fund this monster anymore.
I have never understood this move by people.
If you renounce your citizenship you lose your gun rights plus I’m not moving anywhere I cannot take my guns.
No surprises here.
Which 2 are up for re-election and primarying?
Collins, Murkowski and Romney. The Three Stooges. They always seem to show up when legislation like this is up for votes.
Get shed of them by all and any means
Fixed
John Kennedy (LA) seemed like a surprise.
We will be told by the Party Pukes that we MUST vote for these slime bags in November or the Democrats will win. I ask you have the Democrats not already won whether these feckless betrayers are elected or not?
