In an unusual session held on Super Bowl Sunday, the US Senate voted to move forward a substantial $95 billion aid package that will support Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with no southern border security provisions. The package includes $60 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. The vote garnered support from RINOs, with a final tally of 67-27.
According to The Hill, Schumer offered Republicans the chance to vote on amendments in exchange for expediting the legislative process.
“By a vote of 67-27, The Senate invoked cloture on Murray substitute amendment 1388 to H.R.815, legislative vehicle for supplemental appropriations,” the Senate Press Gallery wrote on X.
Sixty-seven senators voted in favor of war funding, while 27 senators opposed the expenditure, all of whom were Republicans.
On Super Bowl Sunday, the following 18 Republican senators supported the Ukraine war funding:
- Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV)
- Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
- Susan Collins (R-ME)
- John Cornyn (R-TX)
- Joni Ernst (R-IA)
- Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
- John Kennedy (R-LA)
- Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
- Jerry Moran (R-KS)
- Markwayne Mullin (R-OK)
- Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
- Mitt Romney (R-UT)
- Mike Rounds (R-SD)
- Dan Sullivan (R-AK)
- John Thune (R-SD)
- Thom Tillis (R-NC)
- Roger Wicker (R-MS)
- Todd Young (R-IN)
The legislation passed cloture in a rare Super Bowl Sunday vote.
On Monday morning Trump-supporting Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) posted a stunning report on X. According to Senator Vance, the Senate funding package includes language that makes it impossible for President Trump to terminate the Ukraine War funding into his second term.
The language was inserted into the aid package with President Trump in mind. These dirty RINOs and Democrats voted on a bill that will send endless billions to Ukraine no matter how dire the situation is on the ground.
According to Senator Vance, “This new Ukraine bill tries to make it ILLEGAL for Trump to do what he is promising on the campaign trail. It is a plot against the President Trump, plain and simple.”
And 17 Republican RINOs supported this package!
Senator Vance posted this on Monday morning.

Senator Vance added, “Politically, they will make it harder for Trump to get elected. This is the first part of the plot.”
This is not a one-off thing. Every time their Ukraine-first plan hits a road bump, they will blame Trump and “MAGA Republicans.”
They will create a narrative of chaos and extremism to undermine the nominee of their party.

Who do these people represent?
It certainly is not their MAGA voting base!
