House passes critical aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan along with a TikTok ban
nbcnews.com
The House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.
The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok's parent company to sell it.

"Can't" afford universal healthcare, and "can't" afford student debt relief, but we sure can magic up money for killing!
The US government spends more per capita in healthcare than any country with universal healthcare and then a big chunk of the population also pays for private health insurance over that.
It's not about not being able to afford it, it would even be cheaper.
That's just the efficiency of the free market. It's certainly efficient at something, just not delivering quality health care or keeping costs down.
That's why I put can't in quotes. We obviously can (because, as you pointed out, we already do) but there's a minority of Americans wielding outsized amounts of power keeping it from happening.
TBF, funding towards anti-air systems like shooting down drones is kind of the opposite of killing. But yeah, Fuck Israel.
Yes, because killing Russian military saves lives. Russia is shelling cities in Ukraine, killing civilians. Your problems are valid, but are nothing compared to getting killed in your sleep by a Russian rocket
