Speaking to reporters earlier today, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tore into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) over his support for the foreign aid bill.
- The updated $95 billion supplemental bill without the border provisions captured the necessary 60 votes needed
- The package includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel in its war against Hamas and $4.83 billion to support partners in the Indo-Pacific
- It also also provides $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, Ukraine
- It came after Republicans tanked a bipartisan $118 billion bipartisan deal to beef up border security while funding Ukraine and Israel last week
