It still needs to get past the House. Despite what the news is reporting, the ‘extremists’ don’t have enough votes to tank the vote unless all the Republicans are cowed by them. I think something like ten sane Republicans would be enough to get this through.
I’m all for an audit and restrictions on spending, but first we gotta get our House in order. Before that, aid for Ukraine.

Only 300 million for ukraine.
That’s how much the US was spending in Afghanistan per day. Every single day. For twenty years.
Oh geez, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what it should be. Something is better then nothing, but this frustrates me.
