"Schumer slams 'joke' Israel aid bill as Biden considers veto"

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticizes the House Republicans' standalone Israel aid bill, calling it a "joke" and "stunningly unserious." Schumer urges House Speaker Mike Johnson to change course, as the proposal lacks aid to Ukraine, humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and funding for the Indo-Pacific. Meanwhile, President Biden threatens to veto the bill, stating that bifurcating Israel security assistance from other national security priorities will have global consequences. The Congressional Budget Office also undercuts the House GOP's argument for funding the bill by cutting IRS funding, warning that it would decrease revenues and increase the deficit.
