"Senate Grapples with Foreign Aid and Border Deal Chaos"

The Senate is working through the weekend on a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill with assistance for Ukraine and Israel, but a final vote may still be days away as GOP Sen. Rand Paul continues to slow the process. The bill includes support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia, security assistance for Israel, and humanitarian aid for Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine. Senate Republicans are divided over the bill, with some pushing for amendments related to immigration and border policy. Additionally, advocates are calling for an amendment to provide Afghan evacuees with a path to permanent legal residency in the US, but reaching a bipartisan agreement for votes on any amendments is unlikely.
