McCarthy's flip-flop on Ukraine aid sparks controversy

TL;DR Summary
Speaker Kevin McCarthy has reversed his decision to strip Ukraine aid from the Pentagon funding bill, stating that he will keep the $300 million in both the Pentagon and State Department funding bills. McCarthy's change of heart came after realizing that the State Department bill also includes funding for Ukraine, making it difficult to remove the aid. However, amendments to strike the Ukraine aid from both bills may still be voted on. McCarthy expects opposition from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has opposed sending additional money to Ukraine.
