With rare bipartisan momentum, the House pushed ahead Friday on a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and humanitarian support as a robust coalition of lawmakers helped it clear a procedural hurdle to reach final votes this weekend. Friday’s vote produced a seldom-seen outcome in the typically hyper-partisan House, with Democrats helping Republican Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan advance overwhelmingly 316-94. Final House approval could come this weekend, when the package would be sent to the Senate.

If it's cutting taxes for the rich or fueling some wars our companies can profit from there will always be bipartisanship... it's not rare at all in these circumstances.

BIG MISTAKE! More war, more suffering and the policitians never get held accountable for the deaths of the soldeirs and civilians. They are not in the front line. Tragic.

This man is disgusting and disgraceful! Put American First, we're struggling her at home and he decides to send money outside the country. Fire him!

Rare? What are you smoking? When it comes to war & other warmongering entities & endeavours, they're all one; unlike when it's something that helps the American people.
