  11. I don't trust Johnson or the MAGAs if you consider the timing of events, I believe the only reason Johnson is putting the bill to a vote Trump, MAGAs and Johnson want aid for Israel: August 15, 2023 Biden, was pressing Congress to provide an additional $24 billion for Ukraine and other international needs amid Russia's ongoing invasion. The funds will be Ukraine military, Humanitarian, plus DOD, US Army, Navy and Airforce for its increased military activity in Eastern Europe and for acceleration of munitions production OCTOBER 3, 2023 House of Representatives voted to remove its speaker, Kevin McCarthy , after he removed aid for Ukraine from bill to avert a government shutdown. Matt Gaetz far right Republican led the removal of McCarthy as he relied on Democratic votes to help pass a bill to avoid a partial government shutdown. OCTOBER 7, 2023 Israel was attacked by Hamas on Oct 7 2023. NOVEMBER 2, 2023: Aid for the amount of 14.3 billion was passed for Israel in early November, House Republican leaders combined the cost of the aid to Israel with cutting some funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Israel already receives $3.8 billion per year in U.S. military assistance under a 10-year plan that began in 2016. Representative Rosa DeLauro, ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, accused Republicans of delaying aid by backing a partisan bill that does not include Ukraine or humanitarian aid for civilians. "This bill abandons Ukraine. We will not abandon Israel and we will not abandon Ukraine. But their fortunes are linked," she said. FEBRUARY 2024 Senate passed by 70-29 aid bill: $95 billion aid package; Ukraine for $60 billion, Israel for $14 billion and Taiwan for $8 billion. Bi-partisan bill on US Mexico border doesn't pass. FEBRUARY 2024 A House Republicans standalone Israel aid bill doesn't pass APRIL 14, 2024 Iran attacks Israel, in retaliation for an airstrike on its consulate in Syria APRIL 16, 2024 Speaker Johnson announces he plans to split the foreign aid bills to the floor. Four separate bills on the floor. Separating aid for Israel from Ukraine, another for Taiwan and allies and a final bill addresses other Republican foreign policy demands.
