You would like to see who would vote. . . .???? Why? Who cares, nothing will happen to a single rep.Not a single rep is at risk of losing reelection of either party this November regardless how they vote on any foreign aid bill. No one cares. Make it 1 big bill with border wall funding at 100 billion with no allowance for any court order restrictio s or presidential EOs. Construction must commence and moneis dispersed in tandem, 1 dollar to Ukraine for each spent on border funding. 2. Each dollar to Uke must be matched simultaneously with a dollar from the EU. Give Uke 100, 200.billion. if you want to “See” how they would vote that is something worth seeing

Not true. Some dims in some districts are in danger come by voting yes on aid to Israel. Some GOP reps in some districts could be in danger by voting yes on aid to Ukraine, with or without any border deal attached. In both cases opponents will make the argument that their primary opponent voted wrong, and the primary elecrtions for Congress reps have not yet happened in most of the states.

Aid to Ukraine cannot be predicated on EU aid to Ukraine as the U.S. cannot dictate such to the EU, anymore than we would tolerate being dictated to by the EU.

For me the issue is spending period, and that is why I proposed an amendment to a Ukraine funding bill that would reqauire funding for aid to Ukraine be covered by funding cuts in Biden’s trillions in domestic spending, without all your gimmicks. That amendment requires Congress to decide what is a priority and move already allocated funds. I don’t think any of Biden’s big domestic spending bills are important at all.
