TL;DR
Speaker Mike Johnson has presented a plan for foreign aid, including bills for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other national security priorities, during a closed-door House GOP conference meeting. The plan involves moving the four bills under one procedural rule to allow for an amendment process, with the fourth bill including provisions such as a TikTok ban and assistance for Ukraine using seized Russian assets. However, the current plan does not include border provisions, which may face opposition from hard-line conservatives.
