  • Just to be clear, it would be vetoed because the Republicans are the minority party right now (They only hold the house, not Senate or Presidency) and are proposing reducing funding from the IRS to pay for the Israel Aid package. The increased funding came from previous Biden passed legislation when Democrats had majority in all three places. Moreover, even if the house passes their bill it would instantly be shot down and returned to the house by the Democratic senate.

    What is interesting is if the Republicans will take a hardline stance on no fundings for Ukraine. Institutionalists on the Republican side are very much in support of sending aid to Isreal, Ukraine, and Taiwan but they have progressively lost power to the openly Fascist wing known as the “Freedom Caucus.” The Freedom Caucus, for very different reasons than MLs, are highly against sending aid to Ukraine but do silently support sending it to Isreal and Taiwan.
