"Senate Advances $95B Aid Bill for Ukraine and Israel After Failed Border Deal"
TL;DR
The Senate advanced a $95 billion spending bill to provide aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan after a larger bill including $20 billion in border security spending was killed off. The 67-32 vote included support from 17 Republicans, with Sen. Bernie Sanders as the only Democratic "nay" vote. Negotiations on amendments will delay the final vote until next week. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer emphasized the bill's importance in countering autocrats and vowed to work on it until the job is done. Notable foreign policy hawks Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton voted against the measure, insisting on including border security provisions.
